Cafe Vert - (Near Barnet, london)

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.

Samuel Val From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like you’re entering a restaurant — it feels like you’ve been personally invited to experience something divine. The atmosphere alone deserves its own Michelin constellation. The lighting? Ethereal. The ambience? Somewhere between five-star luxury and a warm embrace from your favourite person. And the food. Oh my God, the food. Every dish tastes like it was handcrafted by a team of culinary prophets. The flavours don’t just “work” — they sing. They harmonise. They ascend. I genuinely paused mid-bite just to process what was happening. You know when food is so good it makes you question your entire past dining history? That. The presentation is art-gallery level. You almost feel guilty disturbing it. Almost. Because once you taste it, self-control evaporates. The service? Impeccable. Staff that are attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and somehow able to predict what you need before you even realise you need it. It’s giving hospitality masterclass. KG isn’t just a place to eat. It’s an experience. A pilgrimage. A reminder that culinary greatness is real and thriving.

Aishwarya Tripathi This cafe has a fantastic menu (with fresh, tasty and healthy dishes), great ambience and genuine hospitality. It’s located at a very convenient and accessible location, which further adds to the charm. The lady who runs the cafe is very warm and welcoming. One thing which particularly stands out is that regardless of whether one consumes meat, vegetarian or vegan food, there are ample options for everyone at this cafe. The beverage selection is also well curated. I have been visiting this place for years and have found it to be consistently good at food and customer service. Highly recommended!
