La Baita

Heavy rain and bad traffic in Chingford one weekday evening brought us to the door of La Baita...and we've been doing a bit of an Italian restaurant tour in the local area recently so we thought why not! Just based on this one visit - La Baita beats all the other Italian restaurants we've been to in Wanstead, Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell, Loughton and Snaresbrook combined. We're definitely coming back. Fresh food, really attentive staff, a great menu an interesting specials board and a friendly family run atmosphere.

Great food, but could be presented better. Bread, with dishes was just plain white. A selection would have been nicer. Service was very good, staff were very pleasant and friendly. Would definitely come again.

Had just been to the dentist & as I come from central London , I thought I would make it a day out & let's face it you can't go wrong with Italian , & I was not wrong it was fabulous & the aperiol spritz went down a treat

Classic Italian food in general. Very good service and impeccable dining environment .Food: 4/5

Fab old school Italian... Every course was sublime.... Missed this place and will be back!Food: 5/5

Very nice Italian restaurant. Feels as if one is in good hands.

We have been going to the restaurant for just over 30 years. I know since I just had my 30th anniversary meal there with family and we had lunch there the day before our wedding. A family run restaurant, good quality products, cooked well, served by friendly, attentive and we'll informed staff. A gem to be loved and supported... And the food is excellent as well!!!!

Fabulous food and friendly service. My favourite place to eat. Recommend the Skate.
