Il Piccolo Diavolo

Patso · March 2013

Any views on the food here - have noticed that its got quite busy.

Really very good. Had outstanding beetroot ravioli in a walnut sauce there a couple of weeks back. Service very friendly too. Not mega-cheap but you do get what you pay for in this instance.

We go a lot. Distinctive and friendly. Chang

I am a big fan, we go there reasonably often, both in the daytime and the evening - it's become one of my favourite Stroud Green spots. The owner is a really nice guy, very friendly and great with our daughter. It's a good spot for breakfast, either English or Italian, and nice for dinner, good pizza and the other food is nice too. Has a nice ambience too, feels like a proper little Italian trattoria.

Yeah, the real deal. Imaginative fresh home cooking and home made pasta.

Beetroot ravioli in walnut sauce sounds lovely! I might have to try this place out.

Was going to bump the old thread about here. By far my favorite restaurant in the area. I'm glad they're doing well. Decent lunchtime deals too

TheMimsy · March 2013

Only been for coffee and cake (very nice) , but really want to go back for dinner/lunch...

Zipped in for beetroot ravioli last night. Packed and I met so many familiar locals it is apparently their second home. Glad it's doing so well.

Thank you for the feedback

Peter Crumb · March 2013

Like it in there. There used to be two brothers now there's only one. What happened?

gardener-joe · March 2013

But it is so gloomy inside ... I walked by to check it out but could not see in.

nick_m · March 2013

where is it?

ChangN4N6 · March 2013

Between the dairy and the knocking shop

miss annie · March 2013

Up (or down, depending on where you live), near the Noble - same side. Might try it this week, I don't like beetroot or walnuts but I'm sure they'll have something to tickle the palate.

ChangN4N6 · March 2013

A lot of tickling goes on in that street . Chang.

miss annie · March 2013

What SGR? That is the street it's on. Never noticed any overt tickling but maybe that's just because I'm not on the lookout for it.

ChangN4N6 · March 2013

The crouch hill station area with its 'saunas' , 'nail bars' and worst of all auto parts shops can be quite ticklish . Or so I am told. Chang

I had amazing carrot cake there. Not cheap, so my expectations were high - they were exceeded.

Arkady · April 2013

I had an amazing full English breakfast there the other day. Best I've had in Stroud Green. Strongly recommended.

kreuzkav · April 2013

They do a great omelette!

I had an indifferent lunch yesterday. A beetroot tagliolini with homemade pasta, served with broccoli, cream and chilli (I skipped the pancetta as I am mostly vegetarian). The beetroot was in the pasta but did nothing other than add a faint pinkishness. The pasta and the broccoli were overcooked, with absolutely no bite to them, and there were literally 3 or 4 pieces of red chilli in the dish, which was not nearly enough to add any heat. They were also too large - more chilli, more finely diced, would have been better. The flavour was pretty good, and I quite enjoyed it despite the negatives, but it could very easily have been a much, much better dish. It was also expensive for what it was.
