What a lovely find this small family run Italian restaurant is; lovely people, lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and wine - we'll be back before too long :-D
Italian food done well! Great cocktails and wine recommendations, with amazing food to accompany! Burratina was a fresh starter, showcasing the delicate cheese, as was the gnocchi with the mussels being some of the most plump and sweetest I have had in London. The guinea fowl main and beef ragu were both full of flavour and hearty pairing great with the Cabernet Sauvignon. The amaretto tiramisu to finish was perfect with distinct textures on each layer. Went down well with port and Amaro! To top all this off, the wait staff could not be more helpful and attentive with their honest friendliness!
I have been there a few weeks a go for the first time, the food is very good in terms of quality and availability, and the care that the owner ( i guess so ) pay to each costumer is considerable, . I felt to be back in Italy for the atmosphere and the care offered .
It can be considered a bit priced but half of the dishes are based on fish/sea food.
Always love paying this restaurant a visit, don’t live local but when in the area I make sure this is where I eat!!
Max and the staff always very friendly. 5 stars.

A wonderful restaurant, my favourite dish is the pan-fried calves liver with butter and sage. The selection of wines are excellent and the panacotta is wonderful. We really enjoy our visits to Canonbury Kitchen and like on so many occasions and Max and the staff have always made us feel comfortable and never let us down, especially on the food! Thank you.
Great little find. Went for a meal before a concert fantastic staff, great food,lovely setting and reasonably priced. First class couldn’t ask for any better
Quaint, rustic vibes. Food is delicious. Start with some calamari or black ink ravioli, move on to a main course of guinea fowl breast or spaghetti with tiger prawns. Perfect place for a date or special occasion celebration. Owners are super nice and seem to know everyone who comes through the doors.
Far down upper street away from the bustle of the bars full of people is The Canonbury Kitchen not the most likely selection as it's barely noticeable from the main road. It is well priced with has become my favourite in the area. The food is fantastic. from a lovely selection of pastas (including homemade ravioli) to a succulent sea bass and great honey glazed guinea fowl.
The staff are not just good at their job, they are pleasant, kind and have a good sense of humour. All of this is a bonus to the well designed menu. Very tasty, it's worth going with a few people and getting as many dishes as you can to share. Everything on the menu is worth a taste.
Max and the team at Canonbury Kitchen provide an authentic and absolutely delicious Italian dining experience. The staff are incredibly warm and personable. You don't feel as though you're being rushed in and out, and can truly enjoy your meal. Highly recommend the housemade pasta and the baked aubergine or steak. They also have tasty rotating specials which are always worth a try. (Make sure you leave room for the chocolate mousse cake)! Max has also curated a brilliant wine list with the Puglia Primitivo being a favourite of ours. We've been to Max's for both date night and large family meals and always left very happy and actively planning our return.
This is our go to restaurant in the area. If you like cheap, go elsewhere. If you like quality, come here. And even if you turn up without a booking, there’s a pub next door but one that does a mean cocktail and the staff will come and get you when a table comes free.
Dare I say is better than Trullo?!
Absolute Gem off Canonbury Sq
Discovered this place 4 years ago by chance, love it. Traditionally Italian, with a variety of Vegetarian, Meat and Fish dishes for each course. The staff are attentive, but not overbearing and the wine selection is good.
Many reviews say that the menu is expensive, it's marginally more expensive than Jamie's or any of the chains, but the food quality and atmosphere is much better.
