Best Italian Restaurants in Loughton

The best dinner in ages. Every course was delicious. The Parmesan butter with the sourdough, I could have eaten that for seconds. The lasagne lived up to the hype, the garlic bun was crisp and so garlicky and rocket salad was simple but the perfect side. Yum. I hate tiramisu but decided to try it and I’m so glad I did as it was perfect along with the chocolate sorbet. Loved the little venue and the staff were all welcoming. Wished the deli was open when we came as I’d definitely have been taking some bits home with us.

A must-visit for lovers of authentic Mediterranean cuisine! The frittura was crispy and light, the pescatora risotto rich and flavorful, and the grilled octopus perfectly tender. The zuppa di pesce was a comforting, aromatic delight. For dessert, the ricotta e pera was creamy and delicate, while the rum baba was soaked to perfection. Great food, warm ambiance, and excellent service—an absolute must-visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was our 3rd visit since Christmas. We are not locals, it takes us 45 minutes to get there but it is 100% worth it. The staff are great, they are attentive but not over the top, your wine glass is never empty. We first took our Grandchildren for lunch just before Christmas, they live in Abridge so a great discovery for us, we then took friends in January and family in February, everyone has really enjoyed the experience and will all go back. The food has always been amazing. This is a gem of a place.

Love this place every time. Great pizza and beer. Staff really friendly. Will always come back for more.

The food here really is exceptional
