Amazing food with great hospitality. The atmosphere and the caring of stuff was impressive. Not to mention the cleanliness that the restaurant carries throughout and on top their toilets hygiene is impeccable.
We had an amazing salad of octopus legs with prawns and calamaris. Follow up with risotto asparagus and prawns sooo good even my fussy daughter enjoyed.
Children had their favourite calamari prawn platter with chips which by the way left the plates empty.
In the end we had some chocolate soufflé with ice cream.
For sure we will return again very soon.
All in all good 4 stars. We had the linguine with sea food and the lobster risotto. The linguine were a little bland (more chilli on the prawns?) and for the amount of lobster the risotto felt a little overpriced.
For starters we had the MELANZANE ALLA PARMIGIANA which was a bit disappointing. It was covered in a lot of cheese but with not much aubergine. For mains, I had the 10oz ribeye steak which was tasty but a bit under cooked to my liking. My partner had the CACCIUCCO ALLA VIAREGGINA which she enjoyed very much, the calamari rings were overcooked though.
Great food and excellent service.
We had a lovely meal at La Torre on Sunday evening. I was expecting to have a simple pasta dish but ended up with an extremely tasty lobster risotto. My husband had the Fagioli to start and that was excellent too (I know, I tried it!)
I would highly recommend this restaurant. So hard to find a really authentic Italian restaurant- this one definitely is.
Excellent food and service in a lovely little location in the heart of Crouch End. I've lived nearby for years but had not tried it until I had a recommendation from a friend. They did not disappoint. The lamb was very well cooked and the sauce was perfectly flavoured and spiced. Even the Tiramisu was amazing although a tad sweeter than I like it. Definitely worth trying.

The seafood pastas were really delicious! I had the ravioli and sampled a bit of my partner’s seafood spaghetti. Wasn’t a massive fan of the calamari as I found it a little too chewy. Lovely cosy vibes inside, friendly staff albeit slightly slow service on the evening we went.
If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine this is the place to go. I took my family there for dinner and we ordered various dishes as we like to try everything. And I can genuinely say that everything tasted amazing. The service was fantastic, ambience was great too and most importantly this has to be the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to.
Thank you to the whole family as I understand husband and wife run the kitchen and daughter the front of house.
The chef himself also came to check in on us to ensure that we were happy with everything.
My kids are very fussy eaters but here they enjoyed their meals even sampling our food.
This is such a gem in Crouch End! The food is absolutely delicious, but most of all, the service is exceptional. It's a family run business, and every time I've been to dine here, I have felt like a part of the family. They are very welcoming, and friendly. The interior is also absolutely stunning. Would recommend to all!
Me and my family came here last night and we had the best time eating here. The food was superb,The atmosphere so perfect and the service was absolutely top draw. Authentic gets thrown around alot in the restaurant industry but I can assure you this establishment is 100% the real deal in Italian cuisine. So happy to of found a local Italian now.. We will return 😀
We were totally blown away by the food here—everything beautiful quality, generous and for very reasonable prices. It felt like being in Italy, and we were delighted to find out that it is owned and run by a lovely Italian family. Very worth a visit, you’ll be back and so will we!
