Came here for a late lunch/early dinner and it seemed like a good spot for families and their kids. We ordered the pizza parmigiana, lasagna, veal cutlet, and swordfish pasta. All was really good. The lasagna for me really hit the savory spot. The pizza dough with the eggplant was also very delicious. Lastly we ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it definitely is in my top 3 tiramisu of my life. Definitely recommend, it was so good!

What a wonderful gem in the gritty streets of Finsbury Park/Stroud Green....this place is sooo worth giving a try if you are in the mood for comfort food.

This is your ultimate neighbourhood Italian restaurant: staff seems to be exclusively Italian (at least they all behave that way), they are super-friendly, and the place is always darn packed with locals. Seriously, try to get a table for four on a weekend evening and you're probably in for quite a wait...but this wait is well worth spending.

The food is solid in all instances...it's not epicurian heaven, but all the dishes that we sampled (pastas, pizzas, starters) were tasted fantastic and the whole buzz around you contributed to your party having a good time as well. (Having said that, I would probably not go here on a romantic date, nor alone...that might just be a little bit too depressing! ;-)

Nevertheless...try out this local gem!

This is a standout as one of our favorite locations that we dined at throughout our trip to Europe! We stayed in Crouch End and were looking for a quick and tasty bite. With those expectations, this place blew our minds. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and feels extremely authentic. The waiters, the menu, the pizza oven. Absolutely adorable. I had a salmon pasta and my partner had a pizza. We both got wine as well, the house wine options were (of course) tasty. We also asked for some nearby recommendations for an after-dinner drink and our waitress was so helpful. Honestly, we talk about going back to London frequently, and this little spot in Crouch End is certainly on the list. Definitely make a stop here!

There is so much competition in London for Italian food that it's difficult to even judge who serves the best pizza, pasta or mains. Pappagone has always been a popular destination for diners, it's food has always been excellent, the staff are always friendly and prices are affordable. The restaurant has an a cafe style outside where you can sit and enjoy the sun and the crowds walking past. The interior is well decorated and has a family friendly feel. 

I couldn't help but order the pizza and an ice cold beer. The pizza was good though the toppings could have been spread out more evenly. I was really after something spicy but didn't want pepperoni... Unfortunately I couldn't see any diavolo so had to go with the chilli oil which was the real stuff. The tirrimisu was home made and large enough for the two of us. 

Pappagone is a great place to meet with friends and family. Id be happy to have this as my local any day.

From the outside, looking in, this place doesn't look like it's going to offer much in the way of great quality food, but looks can be deceiving.

Upon first impressions, this seems like a real family restaurant. The staff recognise a few in our party straight away and are welcoming and jovial. 

The night we went, there were 15 of us. We made a reservation, were seated immediately and once we'd ordered, the starters came within 15 minutes, which was not bad at all.

The thing I noticed the most about the food here was just how big the portions were! There's nothing worse when you don't get what you pay for but Pappagone is not scrimping on portions at all.

Once our pizza had come, I was surprised at just how huge it was and had to share with a friend. The food was hearty and really tasty. All the pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven.

My favourite thing about this place was their selection of tasty Italian ice-creams. I cannot begin to tell you how great the chocolate hazelnut ice cream was and you can ask to have a little taster of each flavour first.

I'd definitely recommend going back if you want to celebrate a birthday or just take a bunch of friends, this is the perfect, relaxed sociable atmosphere for the start of a big night out.

Italian food at its best! I often go here with the same group of people every couple of months on a Sunday afternoon always leaving full to the brim and ever so slightly tipsy from the complimentary (times 4) grappa!

The pizzas, pastas and calzones are out of this world! You can add any toppings you want. The ingredients are fresh and the food is all made with such love.

The staff top this place off! They are Italian and passionate and friendly about their restaurant and food, always cracking jokes and so good with children.

Calamari fritti con zucchini is my favourite starter, absolutely tasty and not too filling so enough room for your main! Choosing a pizza is always difficult - last time I went for the Calzone alla Partenopea - definitely recommend with extra chilli. Just superb!

I visited this place for an end of work project party courtesy of employers. Tired, cold, and coming down with a virus I wasn't sure if I was really in the mood. Needless to say I ended up loving it! It definitely lived up to it's motto of 'It's a nice place to stuff your face'.


 Even on a Sunday it was pretty busy. Our party of twenty was escorted to the back where they'd moved together smaller tables to make one long one. It definitely meant a need for co-operation if anyone wanted to go to the loo! But it was reasonably comfy once you'd found your place.


 Wine was quickly served (and very nice). We had a bit of a wait before the pizzas and pastas started arriving, but when they did it was in style. Suddenly waiters were zipping up and down with bulging plates, trying to locate who'd ordered what. A couple of people who'd arrived late did have a bit more of a wait before their food came, but most of the group was served within minutes, and they only had to wait about fifteen minutes more. Not bad with a group of twenty I think. The latecomers actually finished their food before I finished mine.


 Pizzas are made in a traditional oven near the front of the restaurant. Pasta appears from a (visible) kitchen at the back. My pizza was lovely. Crispy, slightly irregular base, rich cheese, creamy spinach and ricotta, flavoursome sun dried tomatoes. My only problem with it was it was a little rich, and I had to resort to a ginger beer to keep my tummy settled! Actually there seemed to be a little bit of a problem and a wait before my drink appeared, and I suspect they may have sent out for it. Top points for that if so. Everybody's food looked lovely and fresh, and some swapping took place!


 On a budget of about £10 per head we all had a main and wine, and left with stuffed stomachs and in a happy mood. Definitely recommended.

Nothing bad to say about this place only good, The restaurant was packed but yet the service was still very quick, The food comes up fast and hot, everything is extremely fresh and tasty, it was my first time here and I wasn't disappointed, I will be definitely going back.
