The Resto is a neighbourhood restaurant at 276 Saint Paul’s Road in Highbury, combining artisan Neapolitan pizza with flavours from Italy, Greece and the wider Mediterranean. Its compact, contemporary dining room provides a relaxed setting for freshly baked pizza, a casual dinner or several smaller dishes shared around the table.
Appetisers range from green olives, warm bread and garlic mushrooms to tzatziki, hummus, smoked aubergine and ricotta with spinach. Carpaccio, warm goat cheese and vegetable balls add further choice, while the mixture of Italian and Aegean ideas gives diners several routes into the menu before the pizza arrives.
Marinara and Margherita keep the pizza selection simple, while Verdura combines mushrooms, peppers, friarielli and truffle oil. Parmigiana, Quattro Formaggi, Diavola and Quattro Stagioni build richer combinations from cheese, cured meat, aubergine, artichokes and olives, all carried by a properly risen and carefully baked base.
Signature salads bring together ingredients such as heirloom tomatoes, Kalamata olives, Aegean cheese, rocket, avocado, burrata and fruit. Tiramisu, profiteroles and ice cream provide an uncomplicated finish, while vegan, vegetarian and gluten free choices help groups with different preferences enjoy the restaurant together.
