Amazing new little Pizzeria
I spotted this little place a few weeks ago, its new and it was bustling on a weekday night, not bad for an almost unassuming little Restaurant on Hornsey High Street.
I decided to pop down there last night to try it, spotted it was a BYO place. Excellent popped up to the wine shop bought a couple of bottles and in the 5 mins we had been gone the spare tables had too. So the very friendly owner reserved us a table and we went to the pub for a swift half.
On returning, our table was just ready....as promised and we sat down, popped our second bottle of wine in the fridge and perused the long menu of amazingly priced food.
The atmosphere was lovely, the music was awesome and the smell of everyone else's dinner and the smells coming from the open kitchen were a delight.
Calamari was ordered for starters, great sized portion, the batter was like nothing i've had before, much better than a wealth of much more expensive independent or chain restaurants. NExt up was pizza, caramalised onion, parma ham, mascapone, and the better half had a lovely really fresh 'summer pizza' with spinach tomatoes and mozzarella. The pizza was massive, and again, one of the best i have had in ages. i couldn't finish it so in a box it went for a cold snack later!
dessert had to be tried, lemon cheesecake, my favorite, and again, this was sublime, half biscuit half baked cheesecake with fresh lemon rind. Followed by a very tasty double espresso. So the night was over and just the bill left to pay, i wont spoil the surprise but it was amazing value, i expect prices may go up a little, but they would be justified in doing so.
Overall this is clearly going to become my new favourite haunt. The staff were lovely, the music and vibe was great and the food was the tastiest i've had anywhere for a long time.
Very very highly recommended.
