Il Piccolo Diavolo

Il Piccolo Diavolo is a much-loved Italian restaurant at 147 Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park, celebrated for its handmade pasta and daily specials. Homegirl London writes: "The handmade pasta at Il Piccolo Diavolo is just like mamma used to make -- delicious daily specials will send you into a carb-induced delirium." Time Out's guide to Stroud Green Road lists it among the best places to eat on the street. The restaurant also serves pizza from a clay oven in 12-inch or 16-inch sizes with a range of classic and vegetarian toppings. A non-fussy, friendly neighbourhood restaurant with a convivial atmosphere -- ideal for a glass of Italian wine and a bowl of handmade pasta.

The menu covers handmade fresh pasta, clay oven pizzas (from Margherita to meat specials), risottos and Italian meat and fish dishes. Vegetarian options throughout. Well-priced for the quality.
