Tomo Italian Kitchen is a family run restaurant at 88 High Street in Hornsey, facing towards Alexandra Palace. Its neighbourhood setting and warm service make it suitable for relaxed dinners, family meals and local celebrations.
Italian cooking is prepared in an open kitchen, giving diners a direct view of the care behind each plate. Pizzas and pasta sit alongside meat, fish and salads, with a focus on ingredients the team would be comfortable serving to their own families.
Homemade desserts round out the food, while wine, beer and cocktails support a longer evening at the table. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices give the menu some flexibility for groups with different preferences.
The restaurant accepts bookings and also offers takeaway, with weekend lunch service extending its role beyond weekday evenings. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm the current menu and preparation methods with staff before ordering.
