Absolutely smashing Italian restaurant just off Tooting Bec. The sweet pork pizza was pretty special as were the pasta dishes. Staff are super helpful and the buzz in the place is great.
We had a really warm welcome. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Really fresh food. Good quality and traditional. Amazing friendly service. A good selection of food on the menu. Very good selection of wine by the glass also available which is a bonus. Highly recommend.
Lovely food, atmosphere, always refreshing menus, lovely staff.
Highly recommend and will come again!
I cannot believe I have not rated this place before now.. It is a true find in Tooting (Bec).. Truely the best Italian restaurant for miles.. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly.. I think it is owner operated (wife and husband) and you can tell.
The food is out of this world.. We went the other night, and they had a new menu (pizza here is my go to, big and unbelievably good).. There was so much choice we took 15 minutes of discussion about everyone was going to have.

.. Quick update.. Went again last night and yet again it was awesome.. The food is amazing, but the service is exceptional as well.. Yes I am a fan boy, but it is well deserved praise.. We will be back again soon.
Absolutely exceptional dining experience! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure every need was met. The menu was a delightful blend of flavors. Each course was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly shone through. A must-visit for anyone seeking a top-notch culinary journey!
Me and my partner have been here twice now and had lovely times. Most recently for a New Year’s Eve meal. The service was really great despite it being busy. People have left reviews about everyone being too close together but I think that this adds to the atmosphere of eating out! The only reason this wasn’t 5 stars is because I thought the scallops were so small for the price (although tasty) and the lemon pasta was just slightly odd, tasted a bit like lemon meringue but some people might like that! I’ve had the seafood pasta twice now and really enjoyed it. I think there could have been a few more mussels/prawns in there though but overall flavour was fab. Steak tartare was so fresh, recommend that one!!
I live so local to this place and always have walked passed it..it’s looks great and always is busy. I finally when and it was amazing. The inside is well decorated and gives the right atmosphere alongside the friendly and wonderful staff who provided an excellent service. Now saving the best till last….the food! The food is seasonal which is great which means I just have to keep coming back 😝. The food was excellent and good size portion…the quality gave me flash backs from my time
In Italy. I recommend this place..but be sure to book in advance as it’s not a big place. I’ve put a few photos up.
Very delicious! great service, loved the food, desert (ice cream) and I tried a beer that was light and refreshing. I’ll definitely be back!
Lovely local Italian restaurant. The food is tasty and well presented and the service is attentive and friendly. The main room can get quite noisy, so better to go in the smaller one if you want a calmer atmosphere. Recommended.
We have dined here quite a few times before, but also had our small wedding reception here in December in their new private room 😍. The experience was great! Food was super tasty, service was excellent and communication with Giovanni before our big day was smooth as well. We'll be back ☺️
One of the best Italian restaurant in London as it offers an authentic Italian dining experience in a very welcoming atmosphere. The menu showcases a variety of traditional Italian dishes, from pasta to seafood and wood-fired pizzas. The attentive staff and knowledgeable servers enhance the dining experience, providing recommendations and ensuring a pleasant visit. Great selection of wines and interesting desserts available on the menu.
I’d begun to suspect that this kind of restaurant didn’t exist anymore: a cosy, local independent where the food is prepared with skill & dedication, the wine is both excellent and affordable and the service is professional, attentive & welcoming. And to cap it all, it’s very reasonably priced. This place is a huge asset for the area. Long may they thrive. It’s certainly going to become a regular for us.
Fantastic dough balls starter. Gorgeous Apple Muffin and Custard dessert. Superb bookends to our lovely meal here. Service was good with our wine always being topped up despite having to be miles away due to the way they packed out space in restaurant.
Only lost a star as we were by the window where actually leg room was non existent.
A wonderful meal that was so well priced for the quality of food. The service was the best I’ve experienced in such a long time. Felt very personal and very much felt like a family run business. We cannot wait to visit again soon.
An absolute gem of Tooting!
The food… excellent. Stay away from the Gnocchetti crema, it’s INCREDIBLE!!!! The menu has such a great variety of traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist!
When we went the restaurant was pretty busy and waiting time for food was spot on, we had our starters and the mains came at the perfect time. Like wise with the deserts!
The service was wonderful. Our waitress was so attentive and every recommendation was just perfect.
The ambiance is so relaxing and chilled.
Overall, incredible dining experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all FANTASTIC. We will be back again… and again!
