  “Myself and 3 friends went to this restaurant on the 27th August 2026. I had a salmon pasta dish, 2 of my friends also had this and my other friend had Pizza. I started to feel unwell later that night, with serve vomiting and diarrhoea. I messaged my friends early the next morning and the 2 who also had the salmon dish also had the same symptoms. After ringing and discussing with a member of staff they mentioned their salmon is fresh and said there’s nothing they can do. Not very apologetic and offered us a free meal which I felt wasn’t insufficient considering the circumstances. Very poor customer service! I do not recommend this restaurant.”

  “This is one of our favourite places. It's excellent especially when the weather is nice and you find a table outside. I don't remember being disappointed by food, not for once. Love the fish!”

  “Last Sunday I was at Pappagone in Finsbury Park for a friend's birthday. We had a fantastic meal and a great time! We ordered different dishes, all were very good and well prepared. The servings are generous and reasonably priced. My favourite was the grilled provola, an Italian specialty served as a starter, along with the treccia and the calamari, which are fried to perfection. Although the restaurant was very busy, the staff was so welcoming and so patient with our messy orders 😄 Giampietro, who tended to our table, is a true asset. He was friendly, attentive and his service was spotless, from advising about dishes to pouring wine with uncommon elegance. Will surely go back!”

  “It used to be my partners go to spot but it seems the quality of food and service has decreased drastically. Missimo(if I spelled it correctly) was are server for the Aresenal game on the Saturday vs PSG. She managed to spill a drink over some other customers but didn't remember to remove the drink from the bill. We also saw how she was being very chatty and trying to interact with the bigger group of customers , which was the birthday group. When she came to us , we greeted her with smiles and trying to be nice but felt as if she didn't care with her non-chalant attitude behaviour towards us and the table she spilt the drink on. Service was poor and unfortunately the pizza I got was swimming in oil or some type of liquid. We will not be coming back again since other people we know, that would visit this restaurant have agreed that the food quality has decreased as well. It was nice while it lasted.”

  “Lived down the road from here for years and this is my first time. Such a vibe, and really, really good antipasti, pasta and gelato. Loads of variety and all 6 of us at the table loved everything we ate. Really reasonably priced, too. £52 each and we had starters, a couple of bottles of sparkling red wine, a few Aperol Spritz and beers, pasta mains and desserts. All of it was amazing. Thank you!!”

  “I’ve been to this restaurant many times before and I’ve always loved it, which is why this experience disappointed me so much. Last night the restaurant was extremely busy and the staff seemed very stressed. I completely understand how difficult hospitality can be because I’ve worked in the industry myself, so I tried my best to be patient, polite, and helpful throughout the evening. I quietly enjoyed my meal and honestly hoped I wasn’t causing any inconvenience at all. When it was time to ask for the bill, one of the waiters noticed me and I politely asked if I could have a takeaway box for the food that was left, along with the bill. Without saying a word, he took my plate and packed the food, but never brought the bill. I assumed he was busy and gave it some time, even though I was in a hurry. After waiting for quite a while, I noticed he wasn’t making any effort to bring it or even let another colleague know. I genuinely thought he had forgotten, so I politely asked again. His response was honestly shocking. He turned around with a very rude attitude and shouted “IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING” in front of everyone. I was left speechless and extremely uncomfortable. I understand stress, pressure, and difficult shifts — but speaking to customers like that is completely unacceptable. Especially when I had been nothing but respectful the entire time. The interaction genuinely ruined my mood and my evening, and I’m still thinking about it today. It’s a shame because the restaurant itself is amazing and I will probably come back because I really like the place. But I truly hope I never have to be served by that waiter again.”

  “This is a lovely Italian restaurant with plenty of seating, as it’s quite a large space. There’s also outdoor dining, which must be buzzing in the summer. It’s located on Stroud Green Road, just a short stroll from Finsbury Park station. The atmosphere is great, with cool Italian tunes playing, and the staff are friendly. I was recommended the scialatielli ai straccetti di manzo, a homemade pasta with thin strips of beef. It was absolutely delicious, and I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a pasta dish that’s full of meat and flavour. There’s a great selection of alcohol — wines, spirits, beers, and cocktails — and they even serve Italian ice creams. There are toilets at the back. This place works well for dining solo, in groups, on date nights, or with family.”

  “We had a nice Sunday late lunch last week. Restaurant was very busy. Service was efficient and polite. Food was presented very nicely. I had salmon pasta and my partner had a steak. We got confused we were sure steak comes with fries but it wasn’t so we ordered it separately. My pistachio gelato had a bit strange taste and unfortunately I didn’t like it much, the tiramisu portion was very generous. Place isn’t the cheapest but not very expensive too. We spent 62£ for two mains, two desserts and one beer. We were sitting outside as it was a great weather. Not sure if we will be back, if we will we definitely gonna order pizza as I think this place is more famous for pizza.”
