Va’ Pensiero Di Italia – La Dolce Vita of North London

The menu with 6 pages is big enough to satisfy every tastes, with pizza and pasta being favorites. We began with a glass of smooth Pinot Grigio Cabernet and starters of calamari deep-fried in breadcrumbs with a touch of Lemon sauce. The Insalata di Rucola appeared simple and appetizing in a beautiful friendly summery atmosphere.

For mains there’s a great deal of meat and fish dishes, pizzas and pastas alongside regularly changing specials. Va’ Pensiero is building an excellent reputation for its tasty pasta, with so many varieties. Friendly floor stuff is always ready to help, so there is no problem to ask and choose your own ingredients. The penne alla fiorentina, including spinach sautéed in garlic with mozzarella cheese in a tomato sauce and a dash of cream or The Fettucini alla Halibut with pieces of Halibut fish in a delicious tomato sauce with dash of cream is just perfect choice to be happy.
