Overview
- The Italian osteria and pizzeria on Hampstead Lane shut for good last week, six years after opening in October 2019.
- In an online statement, the owners said the closure was due to community indifference, telling residents they had "never supported us, not even once."
- The farewell noted Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice awards from 2023 to 2025 and a 4.7-star Google rating from roughly 700 reviews.
- The owners said they served diners during lockdown yet many of those customers did not return after the pandemic.
- Recent local reporting cites complaints about slow service and small portions, and the Highgate Society’s chair said the group is volunteer-run and cannot always respond to requests.
