That’s Amore By Bagutta is an independent Italian restaurant on Finchley Road in Golders Green. The dining room has a familiar, relaxed atmosphere and a menu grounded in traditional Italian cooking, fresh produce and regularly changing seasonal specials. Pizza, pasta, risotto and substantial main courses make it suitable for a casual family dinner or a longer evening with wine.
Antipasti provide a natural way to begin, with cured meats, cheeses, vegetables and familiar Italian preparations intended for sharing. Pizza adds another sociable option, moving from simple tomato and mozzarella combinations to richer toppings. Vegetarian and gluten free choices are available across the menu, allowing a mixed table to order from the same broad selection.
Classic dried pasta includes spaghetti with garlic, olive oil and chilli, penne arrabbiata, tagliatelle puttanesca, rigatoni amatriciana and carbonara with egg yolk, pecorino and guanciale. Seafood appears in spaghetti with clams, cherry tomatoes and garlic. Fresh pasta choices include pappardelle with beef ragù, tagliatelle with pesto or truffle, and filled gnocchi, while vegetable and lemon risottos offer rice based alternatives.
Homemade desserts continue the emphasis on traditional recipes, with tiramisu and other changing sweets suited to the end of the meal. Weekly specials allow the kitchen to use seasonal fish, meat and vegetables beyond the established favourites. An extensive Italian wine list accompanies the food, and the team can suggest a bottle or glass for pasta, pizza or the day’s special dishes.
