La Rosetta N16 Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The pizza is fantastic and the Roman style pizza is super crispy, light and delicious."
• "The Roman style dough is very thin and light, making the pizza feel less filling and bloated."
• "The absolute best calzone I've EVER had, crusty and crisp on the outside and meltingly gooey inside."
• "Finally the real Italian pizza in Stoke Newington, tastes like heaven and highly digestible."
• "The pizza is thin, and crispy unlike the also good but chewier classic Neapolitan pizza found everywhere in London."

Cons:

• "Both pizzas turned up cold and unedible, with the 'dessert' pizza having hardly any base to it and burnt."
• "The garlic bread was so thick and not cooked well, the pasta was disappointing and my friend wasn't happy about his pasta."
• "The truffle pastas were disappointing, soggy noodles soaked in a watery sauce."
• "I ordered a capricossa, and the mushrooms tasted and looked like they were tinned."
• "Pizzas are very average, the base of the pizza is extremely thin."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "The service is excellent as well, and the spot is lovely."
• "Service professional and friendly, the staff were extremely attentive."
• "Customer service is absolutely amazing."
• "Service and atmosphere are fantastic with a lot of care and passion."
• "Staff were really friendly, super thoughtful and just so much fun."

Cons:

• "Service was poor, very slow, one of two starters forgotten, then mains forgotten and needed to be reordered."
• "The waitress spent an exorbitant amount of time in the kitchen, ignoring my attempts to get her attention for condiments and the bill."
• "Service was not attentive, staff occupied a table in the dining room, indulging in their own meals and engrossed in their phones."
• "The staff was so lovely that I didn't want to complain in person. But the meal was very not good."
• "Rider had to wait ages at restaurant and when the food arrived, the starter was missing, the pizzas were lukewarm."

Ambience and Location

Pros:

• "Lovely place, amazing hospitality from the owners and great choice of thin dough pizza and fresh homemade pasta."
• "The garden is cosy and nicely decorated, super friendly staff and dog friendly too."
• "A warm, authentic Italian restaurant on Stoke Newington High Street."
• "It's pretty new (opened in lockdown), so is an underrated gem in Stokey!"
• "This charming, authentic, Italian family-owned restaurant is perfect for romantic dates, or family/friend get-togethers."

Cons:

• "Ambience was poor, a lady kept wandering around taking photos of the place with her smartphone, made for an awkward experience."
• "Sat next to the window which was our choice, however, there was a cold breeze coming through."
• "The place was matching perfectly with the food, I really got a feeling that I was back in Italy because of all the old fashioned and simple luxury that La Rosetta had."
• "The backyard is great and I'm sure non gluten free/vegan options must be great."
• "It was a lovely place, I really enjoyed the moment with my fiancè, very romantic and cosy."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Very reasonably priced. Wine, beer and three pizzas was less than £49."
• "The portions are very generous and the flavours are great."
• "The price is great and above all the service is excellent!"
• "Best pizzas in Stokey! The pizzas were amazing - light, Romana-style and huge. Very friendly service and lovely atmosphere."
• "Everything was perfect from start to finish - even calling to book was a delight!"

Cons:

• "The prices were a bit higher comparing with the pasta and the service that we had!"
• "To pay £44 for a meal devoid of alcohol and only one main course in exchange for such disappointment is simply unacceptable."
• "£6.50 for a starter of olives and £3.80 for a soft drink is taking the piss. They've got greedy and priced themselves too high for what they are."
• "The staff were so lovely and welcoming. Food was fantastic and would definitely visit again! Thank you for the limoncello and the meloncello - they were delicious ☺️"
• "It was a lovely place, I really enjoyed the moment with my fiancè, very romantic and cosy, the food was delicious, myself i hade Tortelloni with ricotta cheese and it was amazing, will surely go back:)"
