Cheap and cheerful pizza and pasta restaurant on Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park. Friendly people, massive pizzas and noisy as hell on weekend nights. Pizzas cost about seven quid. Avoid the horrible pub next door though.

Leichhardt, despite the German name, is home to a large Italian population, and coffee, pasta and gelato lovers are the ones to benefit! Steer clear of the slightly staid atmosphere around the Forum, and head further away from Parramatta Road, where you’ll stumble upon long-running gems such as Bar Italia. Its convivial Italian atmosphere is unmatched on this side of the world.

Take bus numbers 436 or 440 from the city centre.
(Bar Italia, 169-171 Norton St, Leichhardt, NSW 2040)
