Amaretto Ristorante and Pizzeria Edgware — Restaurant in London

Booked a table after seeing the 20% offer on the Fork App. On arrival to the restaurant, waiting staff didn’t appear to have our booking. I explained the booking and the discount.

I ordered Pizza Amaretto and my wife chose the Chicken Milanese. Both were just about average, nothing special. I’ve enjoyed far superior/authentic pizzas in the local area.

During the meal we spotted a cockroach on the wall next to the table! This was pointed out to the waiting staff and quickly disposed of.

Unfortunately, this was a sign of worse to come.

When we asked for the bill, I reminded the staff of the Fork discount. This resulted in the manager/chef eventually showing his face from the kitchen. He was in a rage! Shouting and accusing me of lying. He insisted the discount was only at lunchtime. I showed him the email confirming the discount with the booking time. He told me to stop trying to clever and insisted we pay full price, then stormed off.

It turns out other customers had also booked with the Fork, and were having the same problem. Eventually the waiter gave us the bill at the correct price.

Unfortunately the damage had already been done. Very average food, cockroach on the wall and the rudest manager/chef I’ve ever encountered. This made for an extremely unpleasant evening.

We won’t...

A friend and I visited for a mid-week snack, having not been for years, (no idea why we stopped going) and we were delighted at the choice.

Although they were fairly busy, service was excellent and staff were both attentive and friendly. The menu was comprehensive, with plenty of choice and food was served piping hot, (as it should be) and was both fresh and very tasty, with us having enjoyed a pasta and chicken dish, both Italian classics.

Decor was simple and modern, but the restaurant was well lit and spotlessly clean, (always a good sign), while overall pricing was per today's levels, reasonable, but still considered good value for what we enjoyed. If there was one 'negative', (hence, the 4* for 'atmosphere'), this would relate to the acoustics, as with tiled floors and stark walls, it was a little noisy and sometimes difficult to hold a conversation, but this said, I'd far rather visit a busy restaurant full of life, than an empty one with no soul.

I can see us going again soon and for anyone yet to visit, I highly recommend that you sample Amaretto, there are very few local Italian restaurants remaining and we're so pleased...

Just ordered delivery via deliveroo and was really disappointed. My order was basic dish Spaghetti con polpette and Lasagna Verde and I cannot believe this is from an Italian restaurant, I have had better meatball spaghetti and lasagna from any cafe. The spaghetti was soggy and the sauce was tasteless, I think they just poured a can of chopped tomatoes and called it meat sauce. The meat ball is like paste and with lots of chewy bit and cannot stay in one piece. Half of it end up in my bokashi bin for compost. The lasagna was burnt and the meat sauce has no flavour at all, again any local cafe serve a better lasagna. Deliveroo rating is a joke, over 4.5 stars but restaurants can disable review function. I will stick with Uber...
