Need to eat somewhere before CHON at the Garage tomorrow. Are there any cheap and cheerful Italian restaurant by any chance?

Couple nice thai places on the corner opposite the alwyne. Jeremy’s iron swears by black axe mangal on the roundabout.

I usually go a bit further down Upper Street and eat at the (French, not Italian) Petit Auberge or Le Mercury.

Yeah that place is alright. Food’s good but it’s a) too expensive and b) too cramped in there because it’s tiny. I wouldn’t go again myself.

My recommend is cheap(er)

The Dirty Duck (Wetherspoons) does pizza now as well as lasagne. So there’s your Italian. And cheap.

Haven’t actually been myself but Zia Lucia (Franco Manca style sourdough pizza) is just up Holloway Road and everyone I know who has been there really liked it.

Theres no such thing as good cheap italian. Unless it’s pizza.

Just go to le mercury.
