Reviews of Il Tocco D'Artista

Local homey Italian restaurant with friendly staff. Mozzarella was not their best but starters came in generous portion. Spaghetti alle vongole was slightly under seasoned but still tasty.

K. F.

Best Italian in North Finchley. We ordered pizza, pasta, calzone and calamari. They were all delicious. They came with complementary peanuts and some fruits. Staffs are very friendly and good customer service.

C. K.

What a fabulous little place! Truly Italian in the middle of Finchley!! Had dinner with my girls and wow the food was amazing. Portion sizes were huge and the staff were lovely. Definitely go there again!! Thank you for making my evening!

c. H.

Truly fantastic Italian cuisine! We had Lasagne, Seafood Linguine and a Margherita Pizza and were blown away by the taste and also the great value pricing. Staff and ambience were also top knotch!

W. S.

We had a wonderful time at this very unassuming but utterly authentic little Italian. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious and portion sizes are generous. The pizzas we perfect - thin, light and crispy bases with plentiful toppings, lovely rich tomato sauce and plenty of cheese. I am a big tiramisu fan and am always sure to sample it from a new restaurant - theirs is absolutely on point! Drenched in coffee and fabulously creamy with marscapone. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a homely and hearty Italian meal with great service. We will definitely return!

S. R.

Lovely Italian atmosphere, delicious food and great prices. They serve Mediterranean olives as a free appetizer and even gave us a fruit plate and peanuts with the bill. Fantastic service and most authentic Italian place in London. Highly recommend this place

M. N.

I love this restaurant. We live locally and we are lucky to have this gem in the neighbourhood. Both, service and food are very good. Very friendly and nicely decorated with character give a lovley atmosphere while you are in the restaurant. I had the chicken alla Valdostana. I have to say that it was very tasty. The best tomato sauce that I had in long time in London. Worth to visit and have a proper Italian taste.

Y. C.

Always fantastic, both service and food. This used to be our local family run Italian but even though we've moved away we still pop by every so often. Always very busy with a lively atmosphere, and prices are very reasonable for what you get. My favourite is the tagliatelle ai gamberoni e vongele!

First time at the restaurant, very fresh authentic food, friendly and excellent service throughout. We will definitely be back. Grazie Tocco D 'Arista.

A. K.

Good food and very friendly family 👪 style service... I made a mistake on the order and they did not charge me

Nice place to dine out, friendly owner / manager. Food is lovely. Nice atmosphere with back ground music.

L. R.

Been here a couple of times before. Never disappoints. Always very good food,service and atmosphere.

D. B.

This is the best Italian EVER ,food is to die for ,best pizza i have ever tasted ,can't recommend them highly enough

T. P.

Great little discovery, fantastic food, lovely staff, great atmosphere. My only complaint was that the zabaglione had split and my daughter couldn't eat it and the chef hadn't even noticed. Otherwise all the food and everything was completely amazing. Also the nicest limoncello I've ever had too.

M. D.

Still one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in London - and I first came in 2010. Super authentic experience in there, lovely staff, AMAZING food - I wrote this review so that I can highly recommend it to as many people as possible if you are thinking about going :)

K. M.

Absolutely fantastic service and delicious food! My fiancé and I came here for our first night out at a restaurant. We did not regret it! The service was incredible and I am delighted to go back.

T. W.

Really genuine italian ristorante. Very friendly and welcoming, excellent food. Lemoncello served how it should be served straight out of the freezer along with frozen glasses.

P. S.

Loved the food here - very tasty. If you are veg and don't eat eggs (pure veg) they do a great cannelloni here. Penne arribiata was excellent - the right level of chilli. Pizza's a fab too - great tangy tomato sauce.

C. S.

The best Italian restaurant in London. The food is amazing and the service is really good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

R. Z.

Amazing food and amazing vibe. Went there for a friend's birthday and the staff was extra friendly. We dance, we sang... Can't remember what we done after soo many shots on the house. 💪 will definitely come back when I'm in the area!

S. P. S.

Amazing meal. Everything was perfect. Food, service & ambience!!

I've been a couple of times and the service, food and value has always been great. Staff and manager/owner have always been hospitable and make you feel welcome from when you first step in. A good selection of food (inc. pizza) and I was even given a fruit afters, a shot of limoncello and a nice chocolate. Has a 5* hygiene rating (sometimes a rare thing in London!) and a good lunch time deal. Well worth stopping by.

Y. W.

Nice atmosphere and warm welcome by the staff were our first impression. Things went downhill after that - ordered two simple starters that do not require cooking plus three mains. Sat for over 20min just waiting for olives and Parma ham. Mains came to our table in about another 15min after we finished starters. Understand right now as more people dine out for the gov Eat Out to Help Out scheme and they only have 2 staff to serve all tables, it is still important to keep an eye on all diners making sure no one is waiting for too long. Food was in home cooking style, nothing in particular catching my eyes.

S. P.

Grazie Fabio Cosy atmosphere I felt as at home Amazing place and delicious puzza See you again

T. O.

Authentic Italian food in a lovely setting Huge value for money Everything fresh Highly recommend

L. a. N. L. P.

Gorgeous food and lively, super friendly staff! Highly recommended!

H. L.

Had a lovely meal at the restaurant today. Brilliant food, excellent service, and Italian in every way. Highly recommended!

A. R.

Ok for the area, nice homely feel but quality is lacking a little

i. V.

Helpful friendly staff Good food.. Like going there often.

S. P.

Delicious authentic Italian! Great service and friendly atmosphere. All dishes reasonably priced too. My new favourite Italian

J. C.

Brilliant service and fantastic food at very reasonable prices. What more could you want! The portions are huge, and everything is cooked completely fresh. Easily one of the best Italian restaurants in London. I truly recommend.

J. B.

Had a wonderful night with friends here tonight. The staff are friendly, food is very nice. All in all we had a great night. Look forward to dining here again and making a night of it.

O. O.

I'd recomnend this local place if you're looking for a decent pizza (thin crust, good flavours, not heavy, which is nice) & the funny portrait of Alberto Sordi painted on the wall. If you're expecting a restaurant with a more diversified Italian offer, you'll probably have to dig a bit more.

K. S.

Fantastic food! Great atmosphere! The owners are so friendly and come and have a chat with you and make the experience personable every time. If its your birthday - let them know (they will dance with you to traditional Italian music)

B. C.

amazing place, great food and atmosphere. For me the pizza is incredible, I typically order the Americana and is made with a thin base. The pizza is made fresh and tastes great. The cost here is very good and given the quality, it's a 5* rating from me.

B. M.

My local authentic Italian. A must visit!

B. D.

Not eaten dinner here but have had the lunch deal countless times. Really good pasta pie pizza with a drink. However the price seems to have gone up with nothing written. Cost was nearly £25 for 3 lunch deals..

L. G.

Highly recommended !!!best pizzas in north london and a great italian experience. Chef francesco is michelin quality. My family and i love this place. Fabio, the owner is a great host and make our weekly visits very special. Thank you Team Tocco

S. B.

Spent New Year’s Eve 2018 here. The food, service, drinks , music,atmosphere were great. I especially liked the balloons and gold stars. We were a party of13 and would say this was one of the best New Years ever that we’ve had. Thank you to the Tocco D’artista team. Highly recommended !!

C. C.

Super friendly staff, and good service. I go here all the time and it's very affordable food. They have recently changed there pizza recipe which is a shame but you still get free shots, chocolate, fruit and peanuts at the end of your meal.

A taste of Italy in Finchley. No gimics here, holds maybe 40 people. Pizza's are large and tasty, the pasta dishes we have tried are normal sized but great tasting. Recommended if your looking for tasty unfussy Italian food.

S. H.

What a nice staff!! Very friendly and the service is so good. The food is really nice! The atmosphere reminds me of some happy Italian movies with the melodic music and nice dishes. They just brought Italy to London. Thank you guys!

A. O.

Delivery order, very quick, hot, and great portions. Fantastic, authentic quisine. Will definitely order again, and look forward to dining-in when everything eases up a bit more.

J. T.

Good food but always cancel the justeat orders

I. C.

Loved it. Had a huge Calzone and the taste was amazing. My girlfriend's salmon was way better than expected. Really good prices, we ended leaving a good tip and still payed less than most places.

B. W.

Really nice family eve out. We got there early and they invited my kids to see the kitchen. Very friendly service, warn atmosphere, great food, will definitely go again soon.

Z. M.

Delicious food, fantastic friendly staff, they went above and beyond. Happy lively music, warm and happy atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon. Can't recommend enough.

J. S.

Very friendly, cosy, not trendy. Their pizzas are absolutely excellent. Worth visiting just for those. A great place to go with good friends to relax and enjoy conversation between mouthfuls of pizza.

K. M. (.

My favourite place to eat in Finchley! I love the intimacy between staff and customers and I always leave smiling, especially after eating the complimentary fruit after scoffing a huge meal. The Parmigiana is a must order, as it's truly authentic and reminds me of the Parmigiana I've eaten in Italy.

M. H.

Food was fairly good. Friendly place and good service. They have pasta hanging around on the walls, so if you like that you should definitely go :)

A. L.

Amazing Restaurant. This was my second visit. It had a family run business vibe when it comes to service and the food is spot on!!! All dishes had great flavour, and Il Tocco D'Artista where happy to customise the dish as we wanted. Can't wait to go back!!!! Shame I have no pictures

L. G.

This is the best little find of an Italian around here by a long shot. They do a comprehensive lunch menu, which includes a drink for £6.45p! The pasta is like "something Mamma would make". There is a great selection and no matter if it is a party of 2 or 20 they cope magnificently and all the orders come out at once. More often than not, no need to book either, just turn up. The staff are delightful. Honest too, a friend left a handbag there and they kept it for safekeeping. An absolute must if you're in the area

A. K.

Nice local Italian with lovely food and friendly atmosphere. Very good value for lunch meal deal, any pasta or pizza with wine or juice for only £6.95.

M. F.

Had a takeaway yesterday from them and was delighted by wonderful food, reasonable prices and amazing portions. Really recommend eating from here they will cater to your needs.

J. R.

I love this place so much ! I've been coming here since they first opened.l bring my son's,their wives and my little grandaughter Elisha (2yrs)and my friends.Staff are great,Nicole the waitress in particular.One major problem;I'm addicted to the Quattro staggioni pizza,it's beyond wonderful.The best Italian cuisine I've ever found.Jim (Jimbo)Richardson,76yrs.

U. E. P.

Admiringly it's my local go to place for pizza (and turns out a friend just went for a glass of wine and loved it too). Amazing pizzas, the tiramisu is home made and no one ever said no to its limoncello at the end!

A. H.

Such a great place. The staff are very hospitable and the food is fantastic. We are going there tonight to celebrate my husband's birthday. Hope they sort out all the celebration. :)

R. B.

Lovely Italian Restaurant. If you like traditional it's here! Almost so traditional you'd think it was a set up. Even so! Lovely food service and atmosphere.

J. B.

Possibly the best Italian I've ever been to. I love the service. Pizza is very reasonable and tasty. I repeatedly come here. Strongly recommended!

H. T.

One of my favourite Italian restaurants. Friendly service, cosy, good food, good portion sizes, and all at very reasonable prices.

H. C.

Love this place. Good, honest, unpretentious Italian food. EDIT: This place was 5 stars but unfortunately the quality has significantly deteriorated.

R. M.

Our favourite local Italian. Unassuming, home made Italian food with friendly personal laidback service, huge portions and free nibbles! The chilli oil is amazing I agree. It's never packed and I hope it stays that way. And it's miles better than the 'artistas' in hendon and golders green!!

D. T.

I highly recommended this restaurant. It’s simply amazing!! The staff is so great, food is delicious, I’m sure I will be back there very soon ! 👍

J. G.

Excellent and authentic Italian food and the prices are very reasonable. The ambience is upbeat and slightly chaotic at times when it is busy but the service is good and the food always amazing.

B. D.

Amazing place. Lovely people and great italian food. I'm really speachless about everything. I look forward to comeback as soon as possible with my friends and family.

N. R.

S. M. N. S.

I feel so sad that I have left Barnet - North Finchley. This was one of my favourite italian restaurants. I have eaten here plenty of times and have always enjoyed the food and staff service.

p. k.

All staff very courteous friendly n hospitable. Italian Dishes were nice n different.Even no onion no garlic items they prepared good

C. P.

This authentic Italian restaurant is fantastic. The service is excellent, food delicious and atmosphere lively. Recommend highly.

A. D.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to, great food and great atmosphere. The garlic tomatoe bread and nocci with spicy sauce is to die for.

G. G.

Originally this was a bad review but I am changing it to 3 stars as I had called the owner and he listened to my negative feedback and agreed that they could do better. I will leave the review at 3 stars and hope it can be updated to 5 stars.

D. M.

Well what can I say about this place ... its running by a lovely man called Fabio who is just one of the nicest people, the food is good and the pizza's are massive and really good, the atmosphere is so nice in there you can relax have a good meal and enjoy, one of the best things for me is that the pizza man in between cooking will come out with a guitar and sings a few old italian songs .....worth a visit

C. F.

Delicious and fresh food. Very welcoming Italian atmosphere. I definitely recommend.
