I had been told by a friend it was the nicest Italian food outside of Italy. And I pretty much think it was. The five of us all enjoyed everything we ate. The decor is offputting when you arrive. Empty catering equipment partly blocking the...doorway but when you get to the back there are simple tables comfortable chairs a garden with tables out in the garden. No planting or decor in the garden minimal odd Art hanging on the walls . the service was excellent. But we had to leave after two courses because the other four tables in the small room where we sat were filled with young people shouting at the top of their voices. We mentioned it to the waiter and he said oh yes we are sorry the plac...
It was a cold December's night. Being a little tardy for my friends, I scurried along Kentish Town Road looking for Anime e Cuore, what i imagined to be a busy and alluring Italian restaurant. Something seemed off when I found it; the door sign said closed, all I could see through the window was ice-cream and there were no people in sight. Confident I was at the right address though, I went inside and low and behold, there was a tiny restaurant hiding at the back Of the six or seven tables ours was the only one occupied. It was fully booked though (we were there relatively early in the evening and the closed door sign was to prevent any passers by from coming in only to be rejected)....read...
It was my friend Lucia who suggested meeting at Anima e Cuore for dinner, and she kindly offered to make a reservation, which proved to be quite a challenge. The restaurant is only open from 6:00-10:00pm Tuesday to Saturday, and it can be difficult to reach someone on the phone during those hours. Securing a table at Anima e Cuore is also a challenge, as it has been causing a buzz in the gastronomic scene since it opened in 2014 and is always fully booked. Located in a bustling part of Kentish Town in North London, from the outside, one might easily walk right past if they weren't aware of the culinary delights happening in the kitchen. Hurry!
So we arrived with a bottle of prosecco to divide between two of us, and I discovered that the rest of the restaurant had decided for a bottle of red, everyone I love how much london uses byob. Anyway, the waiter exchanged our glasses automatically on champagne flutes and brought some delicious supplement brot to share (the way to my heart) after the absolute task of ordering food from the non-existent menu (the waiter rolls about 100 decisions for starter and pornstars and they expect that rember this, a glass prosecco down), we decided to start and start the starter consisted of a Stracciatella cheese fondu in a...more Book a table now
At first glance, the restaurant appears to be a small Italian deli, but it falls short of expectations. Upon entering, we were initially ignored by the staff before being informed that they were fully booked. Despite this, we were able to secure a table inside rather than in their garden. We had to ask for a menu twice before we were provided with water. Our waitress eventually arrived and presented us with a handwritten "Menu." After asking for clarification on the prices, which were only listed in one section, we decided to share a Burrata starter and two different types of pasta.
I wanted to try anime e cuore for a few years and get there tonight. Apart from the unclean and unattractive restaurant, eating was over hyped and disappointing. they should have gone when they introduced something pesto that was smeared on a piece of vage roasted supermarket bread. all in all, if they are able to cook a pan of water and follow a recipe, why would they disturb!?
The dining experience at this restaurant is excellent, but it would be even better if they would start accepting reservations through phone calls or returning messages. It seems like they believe they are too trendy to handle such mundane tasks. Customers shouldn't have to physically visit the restaurant just to make a reservation. This lack of communication is disappointing.
I love this place, the menu has old favorites (Tuna-Tarter) and new supplements the fregola with crawling and garnel is joyfully smeared with saffron. the small touches such as the brote at the beginning and its Weclome-byo policy are in order (and there are some. problems over lärm etc.), but it is driven by the obligation to cook. thanks to the cooking team and all involved Book a table now
I shared a party with a big group of friends. we were placed on a long table in our own room, and the staff gave to the wee we brought kindly weeping cooler. the eating was incredible for the price, it was the exact. experience I was looking for!
I’ve been eating here for six years. I’ve always left feeling happy and full. Always leave room for the delicious desserts.
