Il Tocco d' Artista

This new Pizza restaurant in North London is a welcomed addition.

Nothing beats an Italian run pizza joint. The food is perfect.
My friend and I enjoy going to new restaurants and not knowing what to expect. The menu was enticing so we thought why not!!

I ordered delicious musses for my starter and a huge spinach and ricotta pizza for my main. We were so impressed by the price - so reasonable! The staff were ever so friendly and helpful as we wanted to add few ingredients to our pizzas.

Very Italian decor with the Mediterranean terracotta yellow beams and flax wood tables and chairs. Setting the scene!

Great place for groups, families and friends. Atmosphere is warm and relaxed and the price points are fantastic considering the amazing quality and taste of the food... Check it out!

The best of the best!! Food is amazing,100% italian and portions are enormous! We love this place and it's owner Fabio he's friendly,professional and really makes you feel like home! Thanks !!

We've heard good things about this nondescript Italian joint and decided to check it out. Happy we did!
First, there are legit Italians working there, which is nice. I think it may be family owned (don't quote me on that).
My pasta order was messed up, but they apologized and happily brought out a fresh dish and said it wasn't a problem. It was a big portion of penne too. The pizzas are pretty big and look amazing! Chilli oil and Tabasco are both available, hurray! Oh, and the house red was pretty tasty too.

At the end, they brought out a bowl of peanuts (monkey nuts) and a half-bottle of cold limoncello and shot glasses. Oh mama! We sipped and savoured. The kindly older gentleman came over to raz us about "What? You don't likea my limoncello?! Drink!" and poured us some more. He later came over and told us to finish the bottle. That was easily 6 shots between the two of us. Needless to say, we left a handsome tip!

Just for the ambiance and the no-nonsense food, I will certainly be going again and getting that mega pizza!

A great little Italian hole in the wall. Good food and the owner was kind enough to offer us a free liquor after the meal.

This is the most amazing Italian food I have ever had. All the food is authentic and delicious. I have quite a few of the pasta dishes (the bolognese is heavenly) and some of the pizza (the calzone is giant and amazing) and everything has been nice. The prices are very reasonable and you get free limoncello and fruit! The only negative is it smells a little smokey but I am very sensitive to smells.

My wife and I just love this restaurant. You can go cheap, or you can go expensive. For normal occasions we call in for a pasta or pizza (they have a pizza chef who trirls the pizza batter right out in the open restaurant and we love to watch him.


For those special occasions, we go expensive and although in expensive mode, we push the boat out to the limit we can never reach the £100 mark for the both of us. And we have three courses, coffee, a bottle of their finest wine, and brandy. And they are very generous with the portions of everything including the brandy.


The owner is very friendly, but never effusive and always holds back a little as a good owner should do.


We have never had any complaints about the food other than the portions are too big. It is really hard to have a three course meal.


I have given it two ££ signs for price because, compared with equivalent Italian restaurants, the price is extremely reasonable.


It is advisable to book on Fridays and Saturdays.

Been for a meal saturday night with my girlfriend . Excellent service and great value for money. Very nice atmosphere. Thank all the staff for a wonderful evening.

Lovely cute restaurant - very italian cafe romantic style and even the waiters speak Italian to you even if you don't understand the language.
Big Portions, yummy food for a very decent price - We went on a week night and they were very attentive and even gave us a shot of lemon liqueur and a fruit plate complimentary at the end.
We both had pasta which was well sauced and cooked well.

back again at this divine Italian. Love this quirky authentic place, such a bargain too. Go go go people. Food is always tops and the service is fantastic. I can't rave about it enough :)
