I did eat in Alfredo's a few times and tbh remember the food as being not that great. The facade and interior were great, though. I bought two mugs, still have one somewhere.
I vaguely remember the Rheidol Rooms from my time working at Islington Council. There were a couple of good places on Holloway Road, Harry's on Upper Street (really a sandwich place but a great one), and The Little Wonder Cafe opposite Ashburton Grove depot, now The Emirates Stadium.

Alfredo’s Essex road, where they stormed out of in Quadrophenia and jumped on their scooters. a chrome and formica interior and frontage.
i can’t remember the food but i bought an ‘Alfredo’s” mug from there, was sad to see it close and reopen as some sausage thing.

Mostly ate at the Rheidol rooms down the road, superb breakfasts there.
