4 restaurants
Japanese Izakaya · £££ · Hampstead
Start with
Tsukune
Hardens reviewers consistently praise the 'wonderful' yakitori prepared at the grill bar; these chicken meatballs remain the gold standard for their authentic robata style.
Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.
Schnitzel · ££ · Hampstead
Start with
Aubergine Schnitzel
To the critic's surprise, this was a favorite; it is described as 'beautifully squashy, sliced through, fanned out and the tail left on prettily.'
Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.
Italian (Le Marche) · ££ · Hampstead
Start with
Olive all’ascolana
The signature snack of the Marche region—deep-fried olives stuffed with meat—praised as the best outside Italy.
Well-backed by reviews and repeat mentions.
Neapolitan Pizza · ££ · Hampstead
Start with
Pizza Nerone
A solid benchmark for their wood-fired oven, featuring a base that is 'soft and light' with limited blistering, typical of the Caserta region style.
Useful signal, but still lighter than the standouts.
