Cinquecento Haverstock Hill

I wanted a quick bite to eat before heading to an engagement party at the Sir Richard Steele. I was debating Japanese or Italian but Italian won. It didn’t disappoint. Portion sizes were generous. The pizza was delicious. The spicy Piccantissima really wasn’t holding back the punches. It was the first time a spicy pizza forced me to remove the chillies to ensure I enjoyed the rest of my night.

The thing that really stood out was the portion of the salad. They do not produce your typical salad, this salad can stand on its own compared to the pizza. One might dare to say it might beat the pizza in a street fight. I ordered the Al Pollo and I kid you not, it felt that a full chicken was in the salad. It was incredibly filling. I would come back for the salad.

Beautiful Italian restaurant in haverstock hill area. The interior is picturesque and always a pleasant dining experience. Sometimes it can be a bit loud and hard to hear your party because it is cosy inside.
Our party of 4 did really enjoy our food, we had shared the fried pizza, which was gorgeous! Fried dough, topped with tomato sauce and dressed with rocket.
The crispiness of the fried pizza was perfectly, the sauce was succulent, really full flavoured and the addition of rocket finished the dish perfectly.
Two of us shared the Brushetta with burrata on an artisan bread. We both felt the starter was nice, creamy burrata, but was let down by the fact it was a bit smaller than the price warranted and a severe lack of chopped tomatos, which is a tad disappointing. I felt like they could have used a better alternative to beef tomato’s, more along the pomidoro route. Would have added a better sweetness to the dish, however still a nice dish.
We all had a pizza for mains. All of us were happy with our pizzas, I swapped the mozzarella for smoked mozzarella. I would have liked to see more dishes with the smoked mozzarella. Really elevates a pizza.
My only problem was the price for some dishes. We had the penne alla vodka and it was very underwhelming, nothing I couldn’t do myself easily.
This is my second time coming here. Would come again.
Many thanks.

This place is amazing! The pizza is authentic Italian, and this comes from people in the know! The most beautiful, delicate, tasty sourdough crust! The decor in the restaurant is lovely, and the service was fantastic. This is a new jam in Northwest London, so much, so I’m scared to post about it in case it becomes too popular! It’s also kid friendly, piece of the children comes in the shape of a bunny rabbit! And they are dog, friendly, too.

I was looking for a new pizza place in my area and talking with some friends we found it and we all left very happy, after a really good meal.
The pizza is very tasty, light and very well made with fresh ingredients; I had the Siciliana, with aubergines and salted ricotta, but I also tried some of my friends: margherita and salsiccia and friarielli. Honestly, all of them, super good.
Desserts 🍨 also, from the traditional cassata siciliana, the babà al rum to the tiramisù and so on..yes we tried few 😅.
Service is very good, the team is professional and very prepared.
I can recommend this place more than anything, if you are in the area, if not, they different other branches all over London.
I will definitely come back for sure.
Ps: try the passion fruit spritz 😁😁

Lovely interior. Tasty pizza and amazing tiramisu.
The rest of the food was mediocre at best.

Parmigiana neopolitana was tasteless, small portion with two burnt pieces of bread. Arancini were bland, tiny portion for the price. Cannolo was average.

I asked for a decaf cappuccino and they brought me something that tasted like an instant powder. I asked if it was coffee machine coffee and they said no and admitted it was a drink from a sachet. Wish they could say upfront they had problems with coffee machine or didn’t have decaf beans. Btw the coffee was included in the final bill.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK)

I started coming to Gourmet Burger Kitchen 20+ years ago. I remember the first time I visited it was like they had cracked open my brain and put everything I loved into a hamburger restaurant. The brand and franchise has obviously evolved since then, but they still turn out a tasty burger. Loved coming back for the first time in a long time.

The food was great but this was a frustrating experience for my friend. My friend is gluten free and when we asked at the beginning of our meal they said they could accommodate. We started to order for our party of 13 and then they decided they didn’t want to chance contaminating her food. Before we left they changed their minds again and said they would do the gluten free food.
After they delivered all 12 of our meals they came out to tell my friend they wouldn’t be cooking her gluten free meal. It felt like it was planned that they waited until we paid and received our food.

While our meal was delicious this needs to be addressed, as the menu specifies there are gluten free options.

By the time they told us they wouldn’t be making a gluten free meal, other options in the area were closed and my friend was starving and went without food. Highly disappointed in this experience.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen was definitely up there for me with all the quality restaurants before coming here. However, it has changed drastically ever since. We were greeted with the usual service we expect and sat down. We were forced to book and pay before we got the food via the app, which was also confusing as there were too many barcodes, and we ordered from the few halal options availiable. The food took around 15-25 minutes, a bit longer than usual, and then the food came. First, we realised that the portions were absolutely tiny compared to other locations, and we got a surprisingly low amount of onion rings and wings. The K town burger was alright, and thats about it. the onion rings were somehow burnt after being deep fried and the wings seemed to be old and pre cooked. What i can say was the man who we spoke to seemed to be quite sorry and offered us to redo them or give us a refund. Overall, i'd say our experience was quite underwhelming and not the GBK i know and love.

Adam was fantastic! He was attentive, gave great recommendations, and made our experience even more enjoyable. The food was incredible—highly recommend the smash burger with skinny fries and the habanero jam sauce. Absolute fire! Definitely worth a visit.

One person dine in, Thursday lunch 1:30pm, not busy. Burger and chips - £14.55. The cheese burger with onion ring & chipotle sauce (called Taxi Driver) was a 6/10 - decent, not amazing. Requested medium rare, received medium sadly, overcooked a tad. Burger stayed together nicely with toasted buns, although my top bun was larger than my lower, I had mismatched buns. Skinny fries standard, nice, went well with the chipotle sauce which I requested (not charged). Longish wait considering not busy and only one person (20-25 mins). No salt or pepper, had to ask for condiments/sauces. Nice large bottle of filtered cold tap water provided. I noticed a table across from me (6 people), one person had their burger at least 15 mins before anyone else, and they had to politely just sit staring at it go cold until the rest turned up. Friendly waiter. Small restaurant, not much atmosphere. Overall, the burger was mediocre, and not great value in my opinion, I think £14-£15 can go further for a better burger elsewhere. Quite a weak effort on the Halloween decorations.

The chicken used for burgers is Halal and is cooked in 100% rapeseed oil in a fryer specified for chicken only, however the grilled chicken used for salads and kebobs are cooked on the same grill as the bacon. The beef, lamb, and venison are not Halal. GBK does not offer Halal Grilled Chicken as an option.

We came to have breakfast and the avocado toast was great, my boyfriend had the French toast and it was amazing. Plenty of savoury options but also lots of patries. We tried a pear pastry and the red velvet muffin and they were lovely. Staff and ambience was also really good. Lovely place.

Noticed this french looking patisserie, food looked amazing, looked expensive but its not, i had a full breakfast , what came was a large plate of free range eggs, fresh spinach with dressing , mushrooms, organic toms , baked beans, merguire sausage and sour dough bread , filled whole plate. Top class breakfast in a top class neighbourhood. A proper french breakfast.  Thank you

Very overpriced for the quality and taste of food. The bread was crumbly compared to what you'd expect from sourdough. The ham option was disappointing compared to many other places. And the taste was bland.

It's a nice atmosphere but very, very overpriced cafe for what you get which is possibly a bit worse than area average. £5 for mocha is a bit insane. But I guess it's what you get that close to Primrose hill. Many much better tasting food cafes for same or less money in the area

I LOVE this cafe. We stumbled across it due to our Airbnb being around the corner. We found ourself just coming back due to the service. He remembered our order which was delicious coffee and pastries!!! Couldn’t recommend this place enough 😍😍😍😍

Best English breakfast I had in London, in such a cozy, warm place run by lovely people.

Everything on our menu is Halal and vegan. Our suppliers are Tiba Food.
