Ristorante Trevi

Situated directly on the bustling Holloway Road, Ristorante Trevi is a fountain of all things fresh and Italian that draws in streams of people from all over North London. Easily accessed via Highbury & Islington overground station, they’re right at the centre of the local community, and – unlike, say Arturo Lupoli and Vito Mannone – they are a lasting Italian effect on the Highbury area. The menu features dolce vita classics like saltimbocca alla Romana (pan-fried veal escalope with sage and parma ham, cooked in a white wine sauce) and pollo Milanese, a breaded chicken fillet with spaghetti and various sauces. Wash these down with a selection of fine wines or a bottle of Peroni and you’re well on the way to a superb Italian meal: so book a table now and head on over.
