IL Bacio Express

Il Bacio is a Sardinian pizza restaurant and trattoria at 90 Stoke Newington Church Street, confirmed on Yelp in March 2026 with its own website at ilbaciostokey.com. Time Out reviewed it as one of the best Italian restaurants in the area: "An attractive spot on Stoke Newington Church Street gives Il Bacio an instant advantage -- very reasonable pricing helps secure it as a firm local favourite; the menu has a Sardinian bias, with plenty of seafood and regional specialities among the usual trattoria classics." The bread basket features Sardinian flatbread, and the menu highlights a distinctive Sardinian semolina and saffron gnocchi alongside calamari piccante and campagnola pizza (olives, rosemary, Sardinian salami). The house wine is available by the litre at a very competitive price. Open Monday to Sunday for dinner; lunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Website: ilbaciostokey.com.
