Anima e cuore gelateria/cafe

Lovely gelato. I chose mango and passion fruit flavour and also the chocolate flavour. They tasted very rich and natural. Staff service was excellent as well. What a neighbourhood hidden gem!

4.5 stars. Very very nice fresh Italian food. Located half way between Camden town and Kentish town tube stations on the Northern line. I was a little worried from the street but inside was nice and there is even an outdoor section. Food was well presented (see photos) and delicious. Service was friendly. A touch on the expensive side as it was £70 without alcohol but byo is available. Price justified by the quality of food. Happily recommend.

Outstanding food, great service. Freshly made pasta, very casual atmosphere which I loved. Recommend it 100% !

This is the best restaurant i've been to in ages!!!!!!

The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. Prices were decent, for that food I would have paid more!

Fresh food and the waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!

The food here is nothing short of extraordinary. And the grocery store is a neighborhood gem. Pasta ala norma as good as in Sicily. Everything is elevated and wonderful. Ambience will transport you to the brightest lit most sparingly decorated trattoria in Italy. I would go in eyes wide open and enjoy the food. Also they used to be BYOB and cash only but now they have wonderful wines and take credit cards.

Also pro tip. Best gelato in the neighborhood. And you can get it in large containers to go.

Looking for good Italian food and service? Here’s the place.

Love this place, the most delicious and authentic Italian food. Really lovely service! Has become one of my favourite Italian places :)))

Excellent homemade ice cream, I tried hazelnut and pistachio and could feel the ground pieces.

Tagliolini with truffles in Kentish Town? Great. Love the fact it's BYO as well, therefore the wine was expertly chosen and very reasonably priced, because I brought it with me.

Hands down the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Absolutely outstanding, every course. Stunningly beautiful. And incredibly lovely staff. Can’t wait to come back.

Restaurants are primarily about food and that is why 5 stars! Location, environment and comfort might put you off but don't let it as this tiny restaurant's staff more than make up for any perceived shortfalls. Bring your own wine (no corkage) and cash only so don't say you were not warned!

Amazing place, my favourite restaurant in London. Great service, incredible food. I can't recommend it enough.

Delicious pasta and heartwarming atmosphere. Highly recommend the cacio e pepe and their home-made cherry trifle gelato!

Visited again today, found some delicious new additions to the menu. Worth trying the fois gras with pickled blackberries, and the fregola (a Sicilian specialty) with mussels and crab. All pasta and bread is made on site, delicious! Cash only and BYO.
Previously...Oct 2021: A very enjoyable evening, nice people and excellent food. The menu changes slightly week to week, and over several months we've tasted, or watched with envy most dishes. For starters the traditional italian dishes are all excellent but venture to the scallops gratin, or cod and zucchini. Pasta is made in the restaurant, the ravioli with cherry tomatoes is delicious, but honestly all the offerings are excellent. Last night I had the swordfish which was new, and delicious. Good selection of Italian desserts. Its BYO, so you can bring something extra nice to compliment the high quality of food. Note its cash only. We will be going again.

Really good Italian food at very low prices.
Its difficult to be restrained.
And the home made gelato is some of the best in London

I was truly surprised, amazing quality food. Will start bringing my guests here for dinner.

Simply fantastic. A hidden gem.

We had the best Italian I’ve eaten all year (and having been to Italy that’s no small feat!) Food was en point, service friendly and informal and the shop a few doors down (Italian one) sold wine that was great at only £10-15.

Even better was the value for money.

Will be back and have already told people about it.

Anima e Cuore hosted our wedding lunch for our families last week, and it was perfect! The staff are so friendly, and it was super easy to plan private dining with them remotely. Everyone commented how delicious the meal was, how hard it was to choose a starter given all the amazing options, the truffle pasta, the rib eye steak, and even harder to choose between all the flavours of gelato which are so fresh. You guys are the best!

What more is there to say? This place is amazing and for the money you'd be hard pressed to find a better meal anywhere in London 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯

Wowza! What a place! Unbelievably nice cafe style resto serving Michelin style food for cheaps! #donotmiss
