Wedding At Lizzies Cucina

 

We’ve known for a long time now that one of Londons best restaurants is to be found out here in Enfield. We would always choose Lizzie’s for special occasions like birthdays, and when it came time to plan our wedding it seemed like the obvious choice - we wanted a small forty person wedding with only our closest family and friends, and to have it in a venue we really loved that was actually a part of our lives was perfect. Besides the people, the all important ingredient for a special occasion for us is the food. We are both extremely passionate about Italian food, and to have a talent like Carmelo cook for our most important day was a dream come true. We were treated to a true feast of the finest Italian cuisine, the memory of which has turned into the stuff of legend amongst our guests. 

The cocktails, wines and canapés served at the reception were exquisite and there was plenty of space to mingle in the garden. 

Carmelo, Franca, Arian and the whole Lizzie’s team were amazing (as they always are) and gave us an unforgettable day that we will never forget. Thank you Lizzie’s!

I came with my friend who wanted to visit Lizzies Cucina and I have to say I was blown away! As a vegetarian I often fine that restaurants offer little in the way of options and it can be disappointing but this Italian Gem did not disappoint in any way! The Dishes were delicious and reasonably priced. I had Cacio & Pepe! Yum Scrum! I did also try my friends Asparagus Risotto which gave food envy!! I greedily wanted both. We also had some nice wine and a Sicilian Cup for sweet! I think its fair to say that I will be back.

Possibly the best restaurant food I've ever had – and I'm in my 50s. I always thought the place was a cafe from the unassuming front on the street and the decor inside slightly worried me – a bit mad. Piggy banks, heads, plates, It wasn't my idea to come here but I'm glad I went! We were a party of 10. Everyone left the restaurant astonished. The chef's a genius. He should be cooking for royalty. Maybe he does! I had seafood ravioli with king prawns. I don't know how much further it could have gone from the Heinz Ravioli in a tin I occasionally eat. It was beyond wonderful. It's pricey, but I truly believe that in this instance the cost justified what we were served. Even the wine was the best I've ever tasted. I'd give this place 6 out of 5 if I could.

Wedding At Lizzie Cucina

 

Lizzie’s became our comfort place and so familiar without knowing that they cater wedding receptions/special occasions at the restaurant. So when they said yes and confirmed their availability, WE FINALLY FOUND IT and it’s been here the whole time! Luckily weather is also ideal to use their garden for the reception.

 

From the planning, set up and actual reception-I think kind words won’t give justice to what the team pulled off! 


The MENU: We’ve selected our favourite wines from their list (specific brand of red, white and Prosecco), perfect for Chef Carmelo’s antipasti, steak with truffle sauce, seafood pasta and roasted sea bass fillet (three of our fav). Gave them the freedom to surprise us with canapé selection - and we’re not only surprised with how good it is, but with generous portions as well. You just have to taste their food and it will speak for itself.

They made our wedding day so special and never let us worry about anything else. For couples that are looking for wedding reception, I would definitely recommend Lizzie's Cucina.

My friend and I came here for the first time on Friday, as I’ve just moved to the area. The exterior is modest however, we had read the great reviews and decided to give it a try. All I can say is WOW!! It totally exceeded our expectations. The food was just fabulous; fresh, homemade pastas, quality ingredients and an amazing wine list. The service was very professional and attentive. Great for lunch and dinner, and there’s outdoor seating for the warmer days. I have already told several friends and neighbours about Lizzie’s Cucina and I plan to return once a week. What a find in Oakwood!

This was our third trip to Lizzie's Cucina, and every time the food and wine have been excellent. I had the burrata starter which was very fresh and flavourful. For the main course I had the grilled scampi, again delicious. My partner didn't want to share her seafood passa! The wine list is extensive, reasonably priced, and features small growers from Italy. Top that all with friendly and timely service and you get a restaurant that's a great addition to our area, well worth a visit.
