Mediterraneo Cucina Italiana - (Near , london)

Ali Selman Burak Ai Sushi in North Finchley is an absolute gem. The all-you-can-eat option for £28.80 is incredible value for the quality you get. Every single dish I tried was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour. You can really taste how high the quality of the ingredients is, from the sashimi to the tempura and everything in between. The service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, polite, and always smiling, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They were attentive without ever being intrusive and made sure everything came out perfectly. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, ideal whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or even on your own for a quiet meal. It’s clear the team here take a lot of pride in what they do, and it really shows. This is definitely a must-try spot for anyone who loves Japanese food. I’ll be coming back again soon and recommending Ai Sushi to everyone I know.

Jordan Taylor Popped in here while waiting for my bike to go through its MOT. I visit a lot of cafes on my bike and this is probably up there with one of the best. Atmosphere is great and the food is absolutely lovely. Coffee is great too, really enjoyed my visit, will be back.

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.

Zack Schneller Shockingly, this out-Italy’d Italy. Calamari crisp and lovely, pizza blistered and precise, pasta layered with restraint and depth. The room is intimate, beautifully edited, and immersive. The prep kitchen is apart of the restaurant ! I left grinning :) rare food that feels both joyful and serious. Not a theme, but a point of view.

somora rattray My second visit and still my favourite restaurant. A foodies heaven indeed! Each dish beautifully presented and delicious. Great wine list, especially love the local Kent offerings. The staff are very attentive and always friendly. Highly recommend.
