Al Parco is a long established Italian pizzeria at 2 Highgate West Hill, directly beside Hampstead Heath. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an informal dining room and outdoor seating that make it particularly appealing before or after time in the park. Table service, takeaway and a broad selection allow anything from a morning coffee to a relaxed evening meal.
Pizza is a central part of the menu, with thin bases, generous toppings and familiar Italian combinations built around tomato, mozzarella, Parmesan, vegetables and cured meats. A classic Margherita keeps the focus simple, while seafood, mushroom, cheese and meat toppings create richer choices. Folded calzone offers the same pizzeria character in a heartier format.
The wider Italian selection includes pasta and ravioli, supported by starters such as burrata and soup. Salads and vegetable dishes provide lighter options, while fish, prawns and other main courses broaden the menu beyond pizza. Vegetarian and vegan choices help mixed groups find suitable dishes without losing the restaurant’s familiar Mediterranean style.
Tiramisu offers a classic finish, with coffee, juice and other soft drinks available throughout the day. Beer and a varied wine selection suit the lunch and dinner menus, particularly when paired with pizza or pasta. Straightforward Italian cooking, outdoor tables and a position at the edge of Hampstead Heath give Al Parco an enduring neighbourhood appeal.
