Authentic Venetian home cooking in Kentish Town
Delicious by Franco is the kind of place you stumble upon and immediately bookmark for future visits. The Venetian family behind it clearly knows their stuff—this isn't just another Italian chain with a chalkboard menu. The bresola sharer for two is a standout, and if you haven't tried their Nutella bread dessert, you're missing out on something that's simultaneously indulgent and perfect.
The service is consistently good, whether you're dining in or ordering takeaway. They've mastered the art of delivery pasta—it doesn't arrive soggy like so many other places. The carbonara is genuinely solid, and the staff often throw in a complimentary bottle of prosecco when you order online. It's not fancy, but it's honest, delicious food in a neighbourhood that could use more spots like this.

Delicious by Franco, c'est ce genre d'adresse qu'on découvre par hasard et qu'on garde précieusement dans ses favoris. La famille vénitienne qui tient le restaurant connaît vraiment son métier—pas juste une autre chaîne italienne avec un menu au tableau. Le bresola à partager pour deux est un must, et si vous n'avez pas essayé leur dessert au pain Nutella, vous ratez quelque chose d'indulgent et parfait.
Le service est toujours bon, que vous mangiez sur place ou commandiez à emporter. Ils ont maîtrisé l'art des pâtes à emporter—elles n'arrivent pas détrempées comme chez beaucoup d'autres. La carbonara est vraiment solide, et le personnel offre souvent une bouteille de prosecco quand vous commandez en ligne. Ce n'est pas chic, mais c'est une cuisine honnête et délicieuse dans un quartier qui a besoin de plus d'endroits comme celui-ci.
