La Nostra is an Italian restaurant at 741 Green Lanes in Winchmore Hill, north London. Its broad menu and relaxed neighbourhood setting make it suitable for pizza with friends, a family dinner or a longer meal that moves through several Italian courses.
Pizzas are stretched by hand to order and use a fresh tomato sauce prepared daily. Toppings range from Parma ham and buffalo mozzarella to goat’s cheese with peppers and rocket, while seafood pizza and vegetable calzone offer contrasting directions.
Pasta and other Italian main courses extend the menu beyond the oven, and the seafood selection includes grilled king prawns and sea bass with vegetables and roast potatoes. Salads, homemade bread and vegetable sides allow diners to balance richer cheese and meat dishes.
Wine and familiar Italian desserts complete the experience, with the dining room suited to both casual visits and celebrations. Gluten-free pizza is available and vegetarian dishes are marked, but guests with allergies should confirm current recipes and shared kitchen preparation before ordering.
Address: 741 Green Lanes, London N21 3RX, England
