I’ve had this guide to the best halal Italian restaurants in London for a while now, especially since I’ve started living in London and Rome both.
While I think of Italian food as some of the best in the world, we are missing options for really good halal Italian pizza and pasta dishes.
It’s easier to find a delicious halal steak in London, halal breakfast or amazing restaurants around Covent Garden and Mayfair.
However, the halal places I’ll mention here today are some of the utter best, perfect if you crave a good cacio e pepe or Italian desserts!
15 Best Halal Italian Restaurants in London (+ Pizza Spots)
Finding a halal Italian in London is something of a miracle, or so it seems. There are lots of spots for halal food in Central London, we know that now.
Even in Soho and Chinatown, which used to be places where halal food was scarce, you can now find amazing halal restaurants like Good Friend Chicken, which offers some of the best halal fried chicken in London (for real).
But today, I really wanted to share with you the best halal Italian restaurants in London, so if you’re looking for delicious Neapolitan halal pizza or halal pasta in London, you’re all set.
In this guide, I’ll be mentioning halal food in Canary Wharf, as well as some joints in West London and halal restaurants in London around Central.
A little disclaimer before we get started:
As much as possible, I will tell you here if the restaurant is HMC certified, and if they do serve pork/alcohol.
As usual, I would always recommend calling or checking the restaurant’s website/social media before booking or walking in, as they can change suppliers without notice.
Without further ado, let’s get on and find you your next favorite halal Italian restaurant in London!
Best Halal Italian Restaurants in London: Fiore dell’Amore
I wrote about the best hot chocolate in London at Dark Sugars Brick Lane a few days ago, and if you’re looking for the best halal Italian restaurant in London, stay in Brick Lane.
At the beginning of the street near Bethnal Green, you’ll find Fiore dell’Amore.
Not only does this halal Italian restaurant offer some of the best halal pasta in London, but it is also, seemingly, one of the most instagrammable restaurants in London.
Flowers galore decorate this oh-too-underrated halal Italian in London, and if you’re ever around East London, you’ve got a hidden gem in Fiore dell’Amore.
You’ll find on the menu plenty of halal pizza and halal pasta dishes, along with classic Italian entrees: crispy squid, bruschetta, calamari, and Caprese all sit proudly on the menu.
Although the halal Italian food served at Fiore dell’Amore is classic, you’ll also find some halal Full English options on the menu – always good to know if you’re after a halal breakfast in East London.

Best Halal Italian in London: Adora Pizza
One of the saddest things about finding Italian food in London is realizing it’s not really classic Italian food, or to the standards of ‘real’ Italian food.
Adora Pizza on Kensington High Street, not too far from all the best charity shops in Chelsea, definitely is a halal Italian restaurant in London that deserves a bit of the spotlight.
On the menu, are some of the most classic Italian street food, with arancini and burrata.
The Kensington halal Italian food spot is quite affordable, too, and whether you need halal food, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free, rest assured that Adora Pizza has all those options on offer.

Best Halal Italian Restaurant in London: La Fenice
Update: This restaurant is now closed.
Among all the halal Italian restaurants in London I’m mentioning here today, I have to admit that La Fenice in King’s Cross is one of the best spots.
Why? Aside from offering a fully halal Italian menu, there is much more than just pizza and pasta on the menu.
And that diversity is what makes me say that La Fenice probably is the one halal Italian in London you should visit as soon as you can.
On the menu, are fried tortellini, crispy squid, arancini, and calzone, with beef carbonara, a twist specifically made to be all-inclusive.
If you’re ever looking for halal places to eat near King’s Cross, La Fenice definitely is one of the best halal Italian restaurants in London.

With its ultra-central location on Savile Row, Sartoria is one of the halal Italian restaurants in London that offer one of the finest dining experiences.
