Il Bacio

We love Bacio’s it’s a great place to take the family for a meal. Reasonably priced, great tasting food served by super friendly staff!

One of the many choices along Stoke Newington Church Street, this little place can be easy to miss. But the food is incredibly reasonable, and super tasty. The place has a great atmosphere and is just right for an intimate dinner or a place to meet friends.
The quiet star on the menu, the insalate caprese, is superb, with some incredibly creamy mozzarella. Then go for one of the many pizzas — I’m a fan of the completa.
All round, I highly recommend this place.

Best pizza I’ve ever had. For real! Only tried the vegetarian one but I can only recommend it!

This is THE place to go with your kids in Stokey. The restaurant is cavernous enough that you could bring your prams in inside their own prams and still have room for everyone else to walk around. The staff are really indulgent with the little ones despite probably having seen every snotty nose in N16 multiple times. The kids’ menu is pretty good value assuming your children will eat pizza or pasta (something I assumed all children did until my daughter refused to for 3 years – but today she almost finished off her pizza here). And the grown-​up options are really tasty too (I like the Ferrari pizza best myself).

Had a great meal and lovely wine, only downside was they show the football, which some people will obviously love but it just wasn’t quite the right atmosphere for me.

A lovely restaurant with a good feel that leaves people warm and happy. Looking around I see children, adults and parents all happy and comfortable in this warm traditional atmosphere.
The food is good, properly made with none of the mass production nastyness the discerning can tell the chain restaurants use.
If you would like traditional, nicely made food in a warm atmosphere, served by real people this is a great choice.
It is also very good value.

Good spot but I was expecting a bit more. Pizzas are tasty. We had the Luca which was a fun combination of mozzarella, salami, ham, jalapeños and egg. It was slightly inconsistent as there were some incredible bites and some decent bites, but overall it was very good. The lobster spaghetti was good, but not amazing. Lobster was a bit of work for not much return, but it was quite light and the spaghetti itself was really nice. Service is quick and helpful.

I had ordered pizzas from Il Bacio twice before and had mixed feelings. The first time was really good but the second time the pizza arrived slightly cold and soggy. They do crisp, thin crust which doesn’t stand up well to delivery. However, I was hoping that if I ate at the restaurant I wouldn’t have this problem and I was right. The pizzas arrived hot and crispy and delightful at our table. We had one with jalapeño and sausage, one with pear (!) and ham, and one with rocket and ham. They were all really delicious, especially the jalapeño one. The pear one was such a unique flavor, and i really enjoyed it too. The prices here are reasonable and the quality of food is very good. Just don’t order delivery — enjoy a meal out.

Love the pizza here so much that I haven’t managed to get myself into Datte Foco to try theirs, even though I am dying to.
Il Bacio never lets you down, its good food everytime, no matter what you it. I have always gone for the pizzas, big love for one with goats cheese on it, not that I have a clue whats its called though.
The wine is good too.
The décor and art work are a little random, but not terrible. And traditional Stoke /​Dalston style, there is a massive picture of a prodigal boy child taking pride of place (see Somine for further examples of child photo art examples)!

I was really torn as to what to rate this place — I went there last night and had a fantastic night with excellent food and impeccable service but there was something a little odd about this place. I had been told this place was a Champagne and Seafood bar but there was not a drop of the sparkly good stuff in sight — although I did have some lovely Rossinis!
It describes itself as a «seafood boutique» which is fair enough as there was a hell of a lot of fish on the menu but to tell you the truth I think they may have go this place wrong — it’s trying to be classy and in some ways it works but with a club/​bar in the basement it seemed a little chavy.
I did really enjoy myself and yes I felt it was a romantic meal but and there is a but I can’t give this place 5 stars — not yet anyway!

Il Bacio makes one of the best pizzas I have ever had. As a student in NYC, I have tasted my fair share of famous pizzerias and I have even had pizza in Naples and Rome! Finding a place like this while I was living in London (a place that does not really do pizza well) for four months was a miracle. I actually miss this pizza.
Their sauce is perfect, their crust is amazing and the food tastes so fresh.
The toppings are where this place really shines! They change their specials every few months and come up with some really unique and tasty combinations. I was obsessed with their goats cheese and mozzarella pizza that came with avocado and grilled veggies.
The only reason I gave Il Bacio 4 stars instead of 5 is because they messed up my order a few times. Erre on the side of caution when it comes to ordering something you want to slightly change. It was a bit annoying. However, the staff was always apologetic and more than willing to fix the mistake.
The atmosphere is great and you can get some reasonably priced house wine with your meal.
Definitely an amazing place!
