5 /5 Martin Reviews: Piccolo Villaggio in London
Location:
Il Piccolo Villaggio is tucked away at 59 Church Lane, London N2 8DR, in the East Finchley / Barnet area. It’s about half a mile from East Finchley station.
Average Cost:
When dining à la carte, main courses are around £14–£19 depending on dish and ingredients. If you include drinks, dessert etc, a full dinner will likely come to something in the £30–£45 per person range, more if ordering more premium items.
Perfect dishes:
Garlic prawns or calamari fritti and their pasta dishes, especially the risottos and the house-special “Penne alla Villaggio”. The garlic prawns were amazing.
The staff were warm, attentive and friendly definitely mades us feel welcomed. The waiters are helpful with recommendations, and that the pacing of the service allows time between courses (not rushed). Their knowledge of the menu also gets praise, which adds to the relaxed, enjoyable experience.
Amazing Restaurant:
Between the cosy and authentic atmosphere, the high quality of the food, and the consistent positive feedback on service, Il Piccolo Villaggio delivers what you want from a neighbourhood Italian restaurant: comfort, flavour, and a place you’d want to return to. If you have Italian blood , like me ..it feels like home.
