Anima e Cuore in Camden

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.

This place is truly a gem! They don't go in for decor but everything on the menu is truly delicious.. and the staff are a delight. Love the bread they give you to start and the pappardelle with ragu is my personal fave dish.

This is shameful to have 4.6 stars with such a bad service! What a pity. It used to be great but now it has turned into a little Italian restaurant run by the most arrogant, disgusting and rude guy ever. He shouted at us as a welcome only because we didn't advise someone else might be joining the table when the restaurant was completely empty!

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!

Food was really good, if a bit pricey. But the place and the long waits completely let it down.Place is kind of weird. It’s in the back of a cafe which sounds quite cool, but it was actually just not that nice a place to sit and have a meal. There weren’t any actual lights for some reason, so it was all fluorescent like being in B&Q. It also seemed like maybe the place had just had a leak, as well as being pretty cold and drafty.We had to wait a long time between courses. They ended up not bringing one of the desserts at all, and made more of an excuse than an apology. There was also no drinks menu, soft drinks or alcohol, and had to pay in cash. We left feeling a bit like we’d been fleeced.

Not what it used to be! Having enjoyed amazing food since it catered for a handful of guests...This visit was truly an underwhelming experience and expensive at best. Pasta dish (appeared to have been heated in a microwave as too hot to have come from the stove and pass) was nice, short rib tough and chewy with a strange cold pumpkin combination! Menu was limited, one fish option and generally a limited menu was overall disappointing. A meal for 2 with 5 dishes in total costing in excess of £100 (without vino), limited staff (2 for all covers and no explanation as to the dish ingredients or menu), other complaints in earshot left us feeling the old magic seems to have been lost...

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.

BYOB even for soft drinks and cash payment only! Not the nicest looking or atmospheric restaurant. The food was fine, if a bit expensive for what and where it was being served.

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

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