Most Disliked
While La Baita receives overwhelming praise, some patrons mention that the restaurant can get busy during peak hours, leading to longer wait times. This might be challenging for those craving a quick meal or finding a spot during lunch or dinner rushes. Some reviews suggest that the portion sizes for certain dishes could be more generous, especially for eager pasta fans.
A few diners have noted that they would prefer more variety in the daily specials, indicating that incorporating new items could enhance the overall dining experience. Additionally, while the prices are generally considered fair, some guests feel that a wider range of budget options would make the restaurant even more appealing.

This place has very nice food and the staff are also good. Pizzas are very tasty and extra thin base type which is good and the lasagna is 10/10. The calamari is nice and the restaurant is clean and tidy. I like to say very good overall and prices are fair and reasonable for meal, not cheap but ok… 🙂

We had a great meal at La Baita. We’ve lived in Chingford for just over a year now and this was our first visit. Having tried several restaurants on Station Road, La Baita is now one of my favourites and certainly the most reasonably priced. Great food, friendly staff and lively atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.

Stopped off for a quick bite to eat, ended up having a 2 course meal with wine. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was extremely high quality, and the atmosphere was perfect. Found this restaurant by accident but will returning deliberately.

Highly recommend the skate wing with capers and butter. The tiramisu is homemade and the best I’ve had in London.

My favourite Italian restaurant. Highly recommend the skate, swordfish and any pasta dish that takes your fancy. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly. No matter how full I am I have to have the homemade Tiramisu...it's delicious!
