Il Bacio Express - (Near Islington, london)

5 /5 Tatiana Sales: My husband and I went there last Friday. It’s a small Italian restaurant that pleasantly surprised us. We ordered a delicious pizza – the food was fresh and flavorful. We were also served a complimentary starter of crostini and olives, and for dessert, we had a tiramisu that came in a very generous, homemade-style portion. We highly recommend this place – the chef and staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. It truly has a taste of Italy in London!

5 /5 Mauro Mosquera: It’s a smaller restaurant but makes it a lot cosier. The food is still unreal or even better. They have moved from their previous location, and we’re so lucky they have moved closer to us! Best Italian in North East London, and would dare to say in the whole of London. Best quality/price. Moreover, they do takeaway and if we order through them is a lot cheaper. They currently have not got an alcohol license, but there’s an off license next door. I’m sure they’ll deliver the best wines to go with the food whenever they do.

5 /5 infralane: My girlfriend and I thought we would eat here last night and we werent disappointed! The food was delicious and there was so much to choose from. Not pictured were the bruschetta and arancini which were fantastic! Staff were friendly and attentive as well. Well be going back.

4 /5 Linda Giulia Carluschi: Delicious an authentic Sardinian restaurant in Stoke Newington. There were plenty of traditional dishes such as Sardinian sausage (salame), malloreddus, culurgiones and seadas, plus lots of more different Italian dishes. The service was great, the staff was always friendly and the price was proportioned with the quality of the food. Definitely would recommend. They also have a good wine choices with Cannonau and Vermentino.

3 /5 Kejenne Beard: Top marks for speedy delivery, well packaged and overall flavourful food. After that, a little bit disappointing. Roasted pig - £17 - mostly bone and fat, though delicious. But to give you fair warning, the way it has been hacked up like a piñata, don’t be surprised to find the skull intact with eyes and brain, lungs, heart or other offal. Go carefully. Enjoy a tasty while not crispy potatoes along the way Seafood risotto - £12 - was going so well, although the portion size is not appropriate. Mostly made up of large inedible shells (and no sign of their meat anywhere), took a bite into a single shrimp and single king prawn to taste all the bland water in their shells from being thrown in frozen. You can see the wrinkly skin on the flesh. Also, a (large) mussel unopened thrown in for good measure - surely a chef knows those should not be eaten? Hopefully not sick tomorrow. Probably best to stick to pizza and find comfort food elsewhere!
