Bagels Bar Grill House - (Near Barnet, South East)

Managing Director I’ve been coming to Amaretto for a long time now, and honestly, it’s become the Italian restaurant for me. The atmosphere is always warm, relaxed and genuinely welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious — hot, fresh, and clearly cooked to order. One of the biggest things that sets Amaretto apart is how fresh everything really is. My mum can’t have garlic, and in most restaurants that’s impossible to work around because they batch-cook. Here, they simply leave it out. That kind of flexibility only happens when the kitchen is truly cooking dishes from scratch. Over the years I’ve tried most of the menu, and everything has been excellent. Recently, for health reasons, I can only eat fish and vegetables — and even now, Amaretto is the only restaurant I still eat in. Their tuna steak, spinach, and roasted vegetables are outstanding. Fresh, flavourful, and perfectly prepared every time. I also want to mention the owner — I don’t know his name, but he has a magnificent beard and is genuinely one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. The whole team creates a lovely, easygoing atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. I always sit at the table by the fridge; it’s become “my” spot. Before I started coming in person, I used to order from Amaretto on Just Eat and Uber Eats. The portions were huge and the food travelled really well — another sign of how good their cooking is. But now I mainly eat in, because nothing beats the experience of being there. To the owner and staff: thank you for all the wonderful meals and the lovely memories attached to this place. In my view, Amaretto is the best Italian restaurant in London — and I’ve been to a lot of them. I recommend it to anyone. I honestly thought I’d already left a review, but I think the one I left was on Just Eat — so I’m correcting that now by leaving a proper Google review.

Mohammad Mohsin Phalgaroo I recently visited Woodfired Farnardo Pizzeria in Hendon, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish! I went there after hearing great things from friends, and I was not disappointed. I tried their beef burger meal, which was part of their amazing student discount offer only £5, and it was genuinely one of the best deals I’ve ever come across. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with that rich smoky taste you can only get from a woodfired grill. The portion size was generous, and the fries were crisp and perfectly seasoned a complete, satisfying meal that felt like a real treat without breaking the bank. The staff were another highlight of my visit. They were so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, creating a really warm and relaxed atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I felt appreciated as a customer, and their positive energy really added to the overall experience. It’s always refreshing to see staff who clearly enjoy what they do and take pride in making every guest feel comfortable. Of course, I couldn’t leave without trying their woodfired pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust had that perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness, with the signature smoky flavor that comes from a traditional wood oven. Every bite was full of fresh ingredients and rich, authentic taste. Overall, Woodfired Farnardo Pizzeria is a hidden gem in Hendon great food, unbeatable prices for students, and wonderful people. Highly recommended!

Sam Aberman Lovely little Italian restaurant. Great location with easy parking. We visited mid week for lunch which was perfect. Great service and quick food delivery. The portions were generous and tasty. Definitely will pop again. Revisit: June 24 Visited with a group of friends on Sunday. Seating in the terrace this time. Great service as before. Food was fantastic with extra credit for the chicken escalope... It was massive. Revisit: August 25 Consistent menu, great joyful service, great stuff.

Adam Scott We had our wedding reception here and could not recommend it enough. Finbar and all the staff were so welcoming and accommodating to all our needs and requests. We couldnt have asked for a better day. The food was fantastic for a finger buffet, much better than we expected and they were able to cater to food allergies/intolerances and the odd fussy eater. Everyone that came had a brilliant time and we had a lot of positive feedback. We even had access to set up from the day before. Thank you so much to Finbar and the fantastic team at the Claddagh for making our day even more special.

Raz Possibly the best takeaway Ive ever had. Flavours were incredible, hefty portion, the braised beef was so tender. Have recommended it to so many people already. Glad to finally see a branch close to me!

Mel M Ive always enjoyed my visits to this restaurant. However, today service was very slow, and the staff seemed a little uninterested. We had to repeatedly ask staff members if they could take our order. The food was very tasty and fresh, and I liked the fact that we were not rushed to quickly eat and leave. We had plenty of time to eat our meals and have a good conversation.
