Amaretto is the place to be when it comes to food or drink . Friendly staff , good music. The food is absolutely amazing . I would greatly recomend the place if you are hungry and you are in Edgware or Hendon Central.
Nice food, delicious, very warm and friendly staff, recommended place ..
Amaretto is a small and slightly cramped affair, with the tables close together. The reason they need to do this, is because it's so damn busy all the time - a very popular mix of good tasting, reasonably priced food. It is an Italian restaurant which offers a good range of food which *isn't* just pizza, but don't worry, the pizza's good too. Despite the fact it is full most of the time, the waiters are attentive and you will be served fairly quickly. It is one of the few places I ordered a starter, main and desert because I was just spoilt for choice. I recommend the mussels and calzone combination for a thoroughly hearty meal.
Hi there guys,
When I think back to all my experiences at Amaretto, I cannot think of a meal they got wrong, where service was awful or where the whole night was catastrophic. Amaretto can be seen as the 'Mr. Reliable' of all restaurants.
Not only do they serve gargantuan portions, fit for a king, but they maintain a high quality, something which is hard to do in many restaurants. My meals there have ranged from Spaghetti Bolognese with Veal to Margherita Pizza and even to the Penne Arrabiata, all of which were of the utmost quality.
This restaurant is aided by the excellence of their staff, who always seem to be full of delight and are nothing but polite. (Yes, i do realise that rhymes).
The lighting and general atmosphere too is also good. Yes the customers are relatively elderly, but this does not impede the overall experience. After all, the chances that you bump into someone you know there is quite high, so you could always pop in for a chat too!
To add the cherry to the top of the cake, they also deliver. This great restaurant, ideal for all occasions whether it be a couples night out or a lunch stop with the family.
If you walked past Amaretto on a Saturday night, you will see grandmas. Perhaps not yours, but somebody's. And just like your grandmother's very own kitchen, Amaretto serves up good, unpretentious grub at fair, fair prices (yes, my grandma charges me for food. Doesn't everybody's?).
Now, I've been to Amaretto a number of times, but one particular occasion does stick in the memory. I hail from the suburbs of north London, and a couple of school friends decided to stage a bit of a get together in Edgware. Where to eat? they hooted. Follow me, I exclaimed, and led them to the bottom of the high street where Amaretto is to be found.
Upon walking through the doors to the inevitably busy dining area within, you're greeted heartily by the staff. They may have never met you before, but they're already your friend. They're delighted to see you. Of course, they would be, you're a paying customer. But they seem to have no shortage of those. Then again, is this in no small part a result of their genial attitude?
On this occasion I seem to remember getting a basic cheese and tomato pizza with mushrooms. They didn't get it wrong. They never seem to. As always, the pizza was a wholesome size, the ingredients fresh, the taste sincere and true. I've had many things off the menu over a number of visits, and they don't tend to drop the ball, come pizza or pasta, rain or shine. But what I think is most memorable about Amaretto is, quite simply, the atmosphere. Yes, it may be full of elderly folk. But these are talkative folk, happy to wag their chins, having a hearty meal - and this serves to create a relaxed and hearty atmosphere.
You'll have a sociable time in Amaretto.
Screw Flanders.
Great food freshly cooked accompanied with friendly professional service. Plenty of choice which should satisfy anybody. On street parking only.
Always great pizza - but also extra lovely staff at this branch! We had a girl with shoulder length brown hair serve us who was fantastic.
I had a very good time at this restaurant with my friends. The food was tasty and the staff were friendly and polite.
Great authentic local Italian restaurant, excellent food, friendly staff. Kid friendly too. Helpful waitress, Thanks, see you again soon
I sometimes take my parents here for a pizza/pasta lunch.
I like the Mafioso or Americana with 'extra chilli'🌶 🌶 🌶

Lovely varied menu and attentive staff. Shame lunch time service finishes so early.
We were 16 ladies and the food was really good and the service was excellent.
Really great place, I went there with a large party and we were all treated a magnificent feast and laughs by the owner and his son. The food was authentic Italian Roma style, the service was brilliant. I can't say and shout goodness about this place. It really deserves success. I would highly recommend this place. Well done to the owner and family for looking after all of us.
Pleasant experience, accommodated a party of 15, friendly owner and the food was good, prices also reasonable.
