La Saporita is an Italian restaurant on Tollington Park near Finsbury Park. Its broad menu moves from antipasti and traditional pizza to pasta, risotto, grilled meat and fish, creating the feel of a neighbourhood trattoria suited to both casual dinners and longer shared meals.
Starters include bruschetta, burrata with Parma ham, Sicilian arancini and calamari with fried courgette. Gamberoni piccanti brings prawns together with white wine, chilli, garlic and lemon, while baked feta, caprese salad and aubergine with mozzarella offer several vegetable led openings.
Pasta ranges from spaghetti Bolognese and carbonara to crab ravioli, seafood linguine and tagliatelle with salmon. Mushroom risotto is finished with Parmesan and truffle oil, while the pizza list covers Margherita, Diavola, quattro formaggi, vegetarian combinations and richer meat topped choices.
Grilled sirloin, chicken, lamb chops, salmon and sea bass provide alternatives to pasta and pizza, accompanied by potatoes, greens or seasonal vegetables. Italian wine and desserts round out the experience, and takeaway and delivery offer a convenient option when dining at home.
