Little Sardegna

Little Sardegna is a romantic and much-loved Sardinian Italian restaurant at 170 Blackstock Road in Highbury. Hardens reports that this "little Sardinian local, not far from the Arsenal ground, delights its Highbury fanclub" and says they serve "Islington's top pizza." Homegirl London's Highbury guide says it "exudes romance while celebrating Sardinian flavours." Listed by Time Out as one of the standout restaurants on Blackstock Road, recently named London's coolest street for 2025.

The menu showcases the distinctive cuisine of Sardinia -- rustic, flavourful and deeply regional. Thin-crust pizzas from a wood-fired oven are the headline act, alongside traditional pasta dishes, antipasti, and Sardinian meat and seafood mains. The atmosphere is intimate and candlelit, well suited to a date night or a quiet dinner for two, and warm enough for a local family supper. Bookings recommended.
