Flavours of Italy is an Italian restaurant at 887 Green Lanes in Winchmore Hill. The dining room opens for dinner through the week and for lunch at weekends, offering a traditional neighbourhood restaurant format with table bookings, takeaway and delivery.
Homemade bread introduces starters such as bruschetta with tomato and basil, garlic bread and crostini topped with mushrooms, goat’s cheese and sun dried tomato. Calamari, arancini, meatballs and fresh salads add enough variety for diners to share several dishes before the main course.
Pasta ranges from spaghetti carbonara and Bolognese to gnocchi alla Sorrentina, aubergine rigatoni and tortelli filled with burrata and truffle. Pizza supplies another straightforward Italian option, while chicken, veal, lamb and seafood dishes make the menu suitable for customers who want a plated main rather than pasta.
Vegetarian pasta and pizza choices are joined by a gluten free penne dish, and a children’s section covers smaller pizzas, pasta and burgers. Tiramisu, panna cotta, torta della nonna, gelato and affogato provide recognisable Italian endings to a relaxed family meal.
