Goodfare Italian Restaurant is a long established Camden dining room at 26 to 28 Parkway. Serving the neighbourhood since 1959, it combines the relaxed rhythm of an Italian café with a broad menu that runs from breakfast into lunch and dinner. Its corner position and welcoming atmosphere suit a quick coffee, a family meal or dinner before a local event.
Breakfast is served well into the afternoon, with full cooked plates, eggs, toast and Italian coffee covering both light and generous starts to the day. Later menus introduce salads, antipasti and vegetarian platters that can open a longer meal or stand alone at lunch. Fresh ingredients and familiar combinations keep the approach direct and comforting.
Handmade pasta is a central attraction, with favourites such as spaghetti carbonara, lasagne al forno and sauces built around tomato, mushrooms or meat ragù. Stone baked pizza ranges from the simple Margherita to more generously topped combinations, while creamy mushroom risotto offers another classic choice. Meat and fish dishes broaden the selection beyond pasta and pizza.
Tiramisu and other traditional Italian desserts bring dinner to a familiar close, supported by espresso or cappuccino. Wine, beer and soft drinks make the restaurant flexible for daytime visits and evening meals alike. The long opening hours and varied menu reflect Goodfare's enduring role as an informal all day meeting place in the heart of Camden.
