Mondello - Camden

I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is perfect and the people who own and run it are the most kindest people I know. I personally recommend this restaurant. Sicilienne food made perfect.

We were looking for a nice restaurant during Dennis storm and since this was near our hotel and looked ok, in we went. Decor is a litte bit tired but don't let that fool you, you are here to eat : . I assume this is family run place and has been in this place for over 40 years (according some awards on the wall and I can understand why. The food was amazing, it is not fine dining but good solid, homemade Italian cooking. We split bruschetta, which was rustic and tasty. For main, I had liver with sage and butter and boy, it was best liver I've had in a restaurant in long, long time. Good sized portion, good greasy potatoes and some vegs, nothing to complain at all. My had had veal saltimbocca,same story as with my liver, excellent. Portions were so big that we skipped dessert, so cannot comment on those. Service was good, food arrived quickly and they don't make you wait for your check, so all in all, excellent experience. And the price, considering that this is in London, very cheap (bruchetta, 2 mains, and 500ml red wine, about 40 pounds . Highly recommended!

We go to Mondello every year for EWmily's birthday meal, because she wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The food is great and the service second to none. Can't wait for Emily to be another year older, so we'll find another excuse soon!

We were expecting a traditional, home-made pizza and were served some processed bland dough. The waiters kept putting dirty dishes and empty glasses on our table. The meat cannelloni (surprise ! ,turned out to be tuna. I think we would have been better off eating at a Pizza Express. We didn't risk getting dessert, as we were afraid of it being from Tesco. When it was time to get the hell out, we were informed we couldn't pay with contactless. One of our friends had to take the bill. They could at least have a sign.

If this place isn't the worst Italian in London Ill eat my hat. Saying that I'd rather eat my hat than the Carbonara I had yesterday that was made with sliced ham. Cheap and nasty, just like the decor. Avoid at all costs.
