LAntipasto Restaurant - (Near , london)

Arezoo Ahmadi What a lovely staff! If you’re Persian, I have to say the owner is truly ba maram (so generous and kind). We had ordered Jigar Pich, and when they noticed it wasn’t cooked exactly as I expected, they kindly offered us a free skewer. When it came time to pay, they didn’t even accept our payment! He was so generous. We really enjoyed the food, it was a little different from the Jigaraki we usually have in Tehran, but it tasted so good! Highly recommended. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture to share.

shristi limbu Very cozy area, we got the bottomless pancakes and it was delicious, i totally recommend! The matcha with coconut milk is lovely as well. Perfect spot for a quiet morning breakfast.

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!

Julian Mathis Our party had a very tasty lunch here today. The young man that served us was on point and was always eager to explain what something was or give a drink recommendation. The restaurant is very beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious especially the hot and cold mezze platters which went down a treat. My colleagues are already planning there next visits with friends and I myself will be sure to come back as well. Definitely a taste of Turkey and a 100% recommendation from me.

Alex Shapley November 2019 update - theyve added new items to the prix fix menu so Ive added a few more photos... Original review is below Im a regular at Al Fresco (Whetstone , so I though I should write a review of the restaurant that I visit more than any other, (well, its less than 100 yards from my flat and I dont like cooking!) - as this is my regular restaurant, this review is a little longer than usual... but I hope it all makes sense. Al Fresco has the best Prix Fixe deal (weekdays only) in Whetstone (IMHO) - its the best value and has the greatest time-range (eg it starts at 12pm when the restaurant opens and goes on to last entry at 6.30pm - ie as long as you are sat down my 6.30pm, you can have the fixed price menu). This menu has a soft drink (you can upgrade to wine if you want), starter and main course (with a side eg salad or polenta) all for £12.10 (eg £11 meal and £1.10 10% service). There is always a choice of 5 starters and 5 mains - the Prix Fixe menu alternates approximately every week to 10 days. Ive tried to include some photos of Prix Fixe meals Ive recently had (I only took the photos as my mother wanted to know what the food was like). My favourite prix fixe dishes are... starters: bruschetta, calamari, tuna and bean salad mains: roast salmon, chicken with asparagus, chicken with spinach, vegetarian pasta with aubergines & olives, (and pizza - but dont tell my GP about the pizza!) The portions tend to be Large (whether prix fix meals or a la carte) - but they do do doggy bags (eg one of my friends can never eat more than half her pizza, so she always takes the remainder home in a box for her next days lunch). The owners have apparently changed recently - but the managers and staff are the same - the core staff always seem to stay for a long time, so as a regular I always get a friendly welcome. Most of the staff (managers, waiters & cooks) are Italian but they all have a good understanding of English - many of the other lunchtime regular diners are Italian too, which I think is probably the best recommendation for any Italian restaurant. I have a disability, and the staff almost always get to the front door of the restaurant before me to open it - I appreciate this greatly. My sister is vegetarian with dietary issues (eg lactose intolerant diabetic) and they always manage to accommodate her needs too. Friends who used to live in Italy (and now live somewhere else abroad) always insist we go to Al Fresco, as they say it is real Italian pizza (which they cant get where they now live) - it should be real Italian, as the pizza cook is a Real Italian! They do delivery too (I think this is via one of the well know delivery companies) and every evening there is a queue of delivery people waiting by the pizza chef. Mustnt forget - they have a loyalty scheme now, so you get c.5% of the value of your meal in points (these add up for a free meal later on).

gapples I loved this restaurant!! Our server was extremely nice, the food was amazing, the music and atmosphere was incredible! Everything about our experience was great, we had our table booked at 4pm, so there weren’t a lot of people. If you like food with herbs, spices etc. then come here! The fries were splendid with them Overall, this place was great. I would definitely recommend it to everyone I know!
