A taste of Sardinia can be found in Nuraghe at Tufnell Park. You wouldn't think Tufnell park to be a gastro district but Nuraghe makes it such in my eyes. Simple design - hand painted walls, seashore thematics, light wooden chairs and tables - none of the Michelin pomp.
You get a real taste of Italy though - the chef is proper Italian, language speakers can distinctly hear him occasionally bitch at the staff.
The food is great. I've been there numerous times and every time it held the mark. Traditional pasta with meat, spaghetti with clams, fresh tiger prawns, wafer thin pizza, ravioli with walnuts... all make your mouth water. Last time I had one of the specials - a massive mullet. The flesh was tender and succulent and the lemon sauce simple and zesty. Absolutely delicious.
Without a doubt Nuraghe has the best food I've tried in London. Every time I got there I get excited to try something new and be blown away.
