Punto Italian Restaurant is a long established neighbourhood restaurant at 838 Green Lanes in Winchmore Hill, North London. The dining room combines an informal welcome with a menu rooted in Italian cooking, supported by daily specials and a wine and cocktail list.
Stone baked pizza is one of the kitchen’s main attractions, with simple classics and more elaborate toppings prepared from fresh ingredients. Pasta and risotto draw on regional Italian flavours, giving diners a choice between familiar comfort food and seasonal combinations.
Meat, fish and seafood dishes make the selection broader than pizza and pasta alone. Salads such as fregola with king prawns or grilled octopus offer lighter possibilities, while daily specials allow the chefs to respond to available produce.
Desserts, ice cream and sorbet provide a traditional finish, and separate set, lunch and children’s menus help the restaurant suit different occasions. Vegan choices are available, but guests with allergies should discuss current ingredients and kitchen practices with staff before ordering.
Address: 838 Green Lanes, Winchmore Hill, London N21 2RT, England
