500 Restaurant
About 500 Restaurant
In ever popular Archway, in a central Holloway Road position, you'll find 500, a cute little Italian place which has diners coming back for more again and again. It's bright and breezy café-esque vibe, complete with airy wood floored interior, is complimented by equally welcoming staff and a gorgeous menu of Italian classics. With a team headed by Chef Mario Magli and manager Giorgio Pili, the 500 team is passionate about Italian food which is reflected in the menu which in it's carefully considered selection of dishes brings to mind leisurely evenings in a Roman restaurant or long lunches on the Amalfi coast.
