Fantastic and personal service. Food is good but not the best I’ve ever had. Quite expensive for what it is. Great ambience restaurant and service makes it a 4 star however.
Phenomenal. Great atmosphere, and even better food. The starters and sharing plates were sumptuous, and didn’t last long. The pasta took me all the way back to Italy. Special shout out to the service too; I could not recommend a better place if you’re in the area!
Had the most amazing time at Osteria Mbare. I did the pasta making class with a couple of my friends to celebrate a birthday.
It was a very hands on, yet personalised experience, with the instructor coming to our station and showing us not only how the pasta is meant to be made, but also why things are done that way, and the food science behind it.
While the class did take around 3 hours, it didn't feel like it. We were treated to a welcome drink, and even made our own little antipasto - some bruschetta in this case - which had the freshest, most delicious cheese.
After making our pasta we were given the opportunity to watch the chef cook it with the sauce. As our group was the last to finish making the pasta, we were even invited into the kitchen to try our hand at cooking the pasta and making the sauce.
As someone who is not a big fam of tomato based sauces, I truly appreciate them accommodating us.
We were then led to the dining area, where we feasted on our creations (plenty of cheese of course).
The lovely team even treated us to a tiramisu on the house and sang Happy Birthday with us for our birthday girl.
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and would definitely recommend it to a anyone willing to try something new!
Amazing food and lovely staff! We also attended the bottomless brunch once which I really recommend as a way to try all the different dishes the offer! Every dish was amazing! Pictured is the starter platter which was fabulous!
Absolutely brilliant experience! We came for the bottomless Prosecco and Pasta and we weren’t expecting to have more than three servings or glasses but within 30 minutes we had 8 servings between us and we had to request the pasta to stop because we couldn’t eat anymore! Six glasses of Prosecco each which came peach and orange juice was constantly filled by our brilliant waiter! We were quite luckily that we were the only table to serve when we arrived but the atmosphere was still really enjoyable and the music was perfect to our taste. The food, cooked by Adonis I believe, was absolutely amazing particularly the one with butternut squash and blue cheese and another with red sauce and pork cheek. The waiter, Jonas, was consistently making us laugh with his brilliant sense of humour and kept our drinks constantly full. We also got a free tiramisu for our anniversary which tasted amazing and would’ve been finished if we hadn’t filled up so much on pasta. Overall perfect experience and we will definitely come back maybe even to do the pasta making experience!
This restaurant has the best service in Clapham!
The waiters are SO friendly, they are really knowledgable about the food and are very helpful. It was a breath of fresh air in London.
The starters are delicious and the nonnas pasta was amazing.
The ravioli was a bit heavy on the sauce and pasta quite thick.
Aperols were also great and the decoration is lovely.
Great fun here - we had a really good meal and some excellent cocktails. Service was very friendly and warm. The platter we had was delicious and the desserts were lovely too. Glad we did the wine pairing also.
We had a fantastic time at Osteria Mbare - fabulous food, fabulous service, fabulous music, fabulous atmosphere! The bottomless brunch is insanely good value and really really great quality. Nothing was too much hassle and they even did a birthday treat! I’d go back in a heartbeat.
I went with my boyfriend for a Diner on Saturday. The welcome was warn and made us feel straight away special. The service was lovely: very attentive and smiling waiters. The food was delicious and special mention to the barman who serve us some amazing cocktails! We will definitely come back again!
I tried their new picnic boxes and they did not disappoint! Such a lovely idea for taking to the park or to eat at home. Great value for money, delicious food and we treated ourselves to the extra aperol! All easily transportable to wherever you are going and so much easier than preparing your own picnic!
The bottomless pasta brunch was phenomenal. They take into account your dislikes and likes, 6 plates of absolutely heavenly pasta. I would recommend this to everyone and anyone.
Very nicely organised.
The food was very tasty.
Service was very attentive.
The restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated. Very welcoming and warm.
We came here for bottomless brunch and it was lovely! Lovely selection of different pasta (loads of veggie options also) and constantly having our drinks topped up. Great value for money and all of the staff were super friendly and attentive! Liam was also extra helpful and made sure we got seated at the bar and looked after, even after our brunch time was up! :) Would deffo recommend!
We visited for their new pasta masterclass and it was so much fun! The interior is beautiful, and we all had our own table with everything we needed. We made bruschetta and then delicious pappardelle as they led us through each step, while pouring us lots of Prosecco. I’d definitely recommend a visit, and we’ll be back to try their menu!
Carbs and Bubbles Experience
Decided to try out this restaurant after seeing an Instagram ad - because who wouldn't want unlimited pasta and prosecco?
To clarify, once seated we were asked our drink of choice and then filled up right away then the pasta dishes came out around every 10-15 minutes offering a selection of the chef's signature dishes. Personally, I would have liked a little more control over our food choices as we nearly missed out on my favourite of all the dishes - it was brought out after we asked for one more at the end! Additionally, we were waiting for quite a long time for the first dish to appear as we came at the height of the lunch rush.
However, everything tasted delicious and the drinks kept flowing throughout. Special thanks to Liam who was a very attentive server!!
You can tell from the second you walk into this place that you're going to love it. Food, great. Bottomless food and prosecco, can't lose. Pasta that's absolute 🔥🔥🔥, and damn I know I'll be coming back here.
Of all the veggie things I ate here, the butternut squash pasta... Yikes. Genuinely amazing.
Super kid friendly, super dog friendly. Super generous with the food.
Don't know what more I can say. I'll be back. The very next time I'm in Clapham. That's for sure.
Come here. Eat. Enjoy the service.
The venue itself is beautiful and the service really good . But there was both multiple food and drinks not available on the menu and the Ragu pasta was underwhelming. Brilliant Espresso Martini and the desserts were delicious . The cannoli is dreamy!
