Highbury/Islington Restaurants

A Dining Experience Worthy of Michelin Standards. An outstanding dining experience easily one of the best Neapolitan pizzas I’ve had in London. We ordered the Mortadella and Rospesto, both absolutely exceptional. The Mortadella came with a delicate pistachio cream and lemon zest that lifted every bite, while the Rospesto’s smoky beef and pesto fusion was rich, balanced and truly gourmet. These aren’t your typical pizzeria offerings they’re crafted with precision and imagination. The menu also includes excellent vegan and vegetarian options, and the combination of Aegean and southern Italian influences gives the whole place a unique Mediterranean charm. Service was impeccable the staff were knowledgeable, passionate, and even guided us on which antipasti would pair best with our pizzas. Felt like we were travelling across the Mediterranean in one meal. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Excellent meal just before a concert over the road. This is owned by a husband and wife team who provide good food at a fair price with care. Service is excellent and they seem to genuinely care for their customers. We will return

Outstanding in every respect as always. Our most visited restaurant ever and for good reasons. Consistency in innovative drool worthy food and great service. Always something new with a little bit of something you recognise alongside something to challenge ! It’s genius well plated and nicely served!

We love The Nook, they have lovely small plates including a cast vegetarian menu and great wine including lovely Orange wine
