L’artista was established many years ago in 1985 by a closely-knit group of friends from all over Italy. Over the years it has become famous throughout North London for the iconic “L’artista van” parked outside the restaurant.
Our birthday parties have become part of l’artista tradition and are renown throughout North London much like our dishes. -. A typical “L’artista birthday surprise” generally involves the waiting staff parading towards the table; banging and crashing pots and pans with music playing until the “lucky” guest is almost deafened. Everyone – staff and customers included join in, clap, and cheer the birthday guest who is usually pleasantly surprised (if not a little embarrassed).

L’artista was established many years ago in 1985 by a closely-knit group of friends from all over Italy. Over the years it has become famous throughout north London for the iconic “L’artista van” parked outside the restaurant. Whilst keeping the strong family based Italian approach to dining; the restaurant caters to everyone; from the youngest child to businessmen and couples of all ages.
Unlike many Italian restaurants, l’artista has adopted a contemporary feel without sacrificing the values of Italian cuisine. The candles and tablecloths of the past are gone. All have been replaced by smooth granite tables, bright vibrant colours, in order to deliver a contemporary atmosphere. This is furthered by our professional staff who deliver outstanding service with the renown Italian charm and warm welcoming smiles.
The menu is varied and extensive. People have come from afar just to try our home made pizzas. The dough is freshly prepared in front of clients, using the finest ingredients. Our chefs have come from all over Italy, and have mastered many different varieties of pastas; alongside a wide range of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. Many of our customers are on first name basis with our staff, and have kept returning for years upon years. To our great joy they frequently tell us“there is no place like it”.
