    Sicilian pizza
    Amanda M.

    We had wanted to try this place for a while. It's really close to Camden station and on a lovely side road. The interior is chill and nothing terribly special but the wait staff is really nice. We ordered the bruschetta, octopus main, and a pizza. Bruschetta was fine. The pizza was very good and the octopus dish was delicious. The octopus was like a stew and had been cooked perfectly. It was so tender and really flavourful. I'd definitely stop by again, it's a fun spot.

    In a prime location on Parkway, just off Camden High Street and very close to Camden Town Station. Been here since 1959, a local stalwart of Camden providing adequate wholesome Italian dishes, pastas and pizzas. Always seems to be busy, so now they have expanded next door with an adjoining thoroughfare via the back of the cafe/restaurant. The original keeping the retro checked table cloths, whereas the new annex next door is just with wooden tables, no table cloths. The bolognese was ok and of good size. Had tasted better. Both my companions said their carbonara and lasagne were good. At around £9 for a pasta dish, it is fairly decent. The side salad was simple and again adequate. I tried the apple and almond crumble with custard. When it came, the almond aroma was strong, but disappointed that the crumble was soft! The apple was good though, soft and not sour. Will go back and try other dishes which look quite good.

    The best little cafe in Camden is situated just off the main roads, which means less people clamoring to get in, though it is always fairly busy and has many regulars. Run by your typical Italian family with the matriarch running the shots this place offers a wide range of sandwiches and meals to eat in or take out. The place is great on Sundays when recovering and with a local newsstand nearby why not gran the Sunday papers and take it easy. I thoroughly recommend the all-day breakfasts with chips and their panini's are great. Also good is the price and service. There are seats outside and as the adjoining road isn't so busy it's not too unpleasant to sit outside when sunny.

    Yum! Delightful, intimate,…read more Enjoyed the pasta de fruit. Lovely flavors. Small seafood bits. The clams were Very small. Close to my hotel. Would come again. .

    My husband and I stumbled (quite literally) into Bocconcino after hitting a wall of jet lag and…read morehunger. The hostess took pity on us and allowed us spots at the bar without reservations. The bartender was absolutely charming and amazing, and he made a truly outstanding Ramos Gin Fizz (a cocktail from New Orleans that few people know how to make, and even fewer want to make). Not sure how that cocktail came up, but he seriously deserves a round of applause for making not one, but two. He truly revived my soul! I split the gazpacho and short rib pasta with my husband. The short rib pasta was magically both light and hearty; it was exactly what we needed after 18 hours of travel. We frequently travel, and I am highly skeptical of Italian food when outside of Italy. Bocconcino was an authentic experience that rivals many of our meals in Rome. Maybe it was jet lag, but I did almost lock myself into the water closet and luckily after a few minutes manage to unlock the stall door without calling for assurance. I suggest visiting with a friend for gossip and security! As far as ambiance, there was great people watching with the Saturday evening patrons; it was an experience in learning about London 'going out' fashion, and watching the very attractive staff interact with customers was a prime education in upper class customer service/flirting. My parting comment is that the bartender stole my heart and I hope to have another of his delicious beverages on a future trip!
