This “great little Sardinian restaurant” in Highbury serves up “excellent food (large amounts of it), in a very convivial atmosphere”. It’s “the perfect local for when we can’t face cooking, or want a midweek treat, or are meeting friends, or want a quick pre-dinner drink... in fact, it’s good on pretty much any occasion”. Kids are welcome, and will love the “amazing pizzas”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
