Basil & Grape in Croydon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I’ve lived in Croydon 35 years and eaten every pizza, this is the very best by a country mile

Food was ok, but overpriced for what/where it was, same for the wine. Service was pleasant but very slow, especially as it was very quiet. Won't be going back

Really nice atmosphere but £12.80 for Margherita pizza on pre-prepared pizza base!!! Really??? Terrible idea. Won't comeback there unless they will bother to make real pizza.

The cocktails are very nice and it's worth going for happy hour when it's 2 for 1. The pizza topping is really tasty, but we got the gluten free base and it was so thick, not proper Italian pizza base. Not sure if the non gluten free ones are the same, but it was really disappointing. They are also pretty pricey for the size. Over all was nice, I would go again.

best pizza croydon for sure! All the staff were really kind!

The pizza and the wine are amazing! Best I have had, the crust is crunchy but airy, toppings are all fresh and abundant. Great quality. And England Won! Thanks to Franco, the plushie mascot of basil & Grape!

Not a bad place for a glass of wine and a pinsa..

Great experience!! Really delicious pizza 😋 I ate one (ortolana) Plus they have an excellent selection of wines that I really appreciated…

Horrible service and extremely rude staff. Beware!

We found a shard of glass inside the tiramisu and when I called them to inform them so that no one else gets this tiramisu they accused me of lying. I did not even ask for a refund or exchange so I dont know what he thought I would have gained from lying but clearly you cannot trust these people. Never thought they would serve such poor quality food.

Horrible service and rude staff.

This place has been here a while but we were in town for the cinema and wanted to try somewhere different to eat - really pleased we did! Pizzas are really tasty and the drinks menu is extensive. Reasonably priced during happy hour, too. I like what they’ve done with the interior and there’s a nice and relaxed vibe in there - some lone diners, couples, people sat at the bar for a drink. A little haven on George Street!

Great food, and staff really kind, Omar's been giving us great suggestions. The tiramisu was great!

driver appeared on the map to go to the wrong part of town so food arrived cold and delayed

I love Basil & Grape, I always have the pizza and it’s delicious! The wine is great too and the waiters are brilliant!

The food was amazing. We got 2 pizzas, homemade lemonade (that was delicious), and wine. The service was both prompt and friendly. I just would like to suggest that they could have a bigger table. They also have a lovely space with a small wine tasting room. Will definitely visit again if I am in the area .

Had a wonderful experience wine tasting here - really personal experience and the staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

Really tasty pizzas, however, the service is really bad. I have ordered the pizza with truffle oil, the waiter came back to say there was no more truffle oil and they would use normal olive oil, I asked to change as I ordered that specific pizza because of the truffle oil, however I was refused to change (normal.procedure if you are missing an ingredient is to let the customer to know before and give them a choice). We were in 4 people, when the waiter brought the pizzas, he delivered the wrong pizza to my friends, after they were eating he came back and said the pizzas were exchanged. Didn't bring napkins nor offered any sauces or olive oil.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, not rushed. Brilliant service with pleasant waiters. Food was excellent.

Perfect! Really delicious meal, on time and absolutely lovely

Really great service; attentive but unhurried. Starters came quickly and there was a nice gap until the mains were served which led to an extremely pleasant dining experience. The food was excellent; hot, freshly cooked and very tasty. I’ve never been to this place before but I will certainly be back.

A great evening -very tasty food, good wines - knowledgeable and very friendly staff . Highly recommended.

Exciting new place, bringing something fresh to the high street. The staff was very nice but the food was a bit of a let down. I had the day's special which was a lasagne, it was more lasagne sheets and very little meat or sauce...I also had the tiramisu in jar and must say it ranked at the lower end of the many tiramisus I've had. My friend had the pizza and says it was good so I'll be back to try that...

Fantastic venue, with just the right amount of music. Delicious fresh food was served, we got their bruschettas and 2 pizzas with an amazing house wine. Thr food was fresh, flavourful. Omar was our host at the table and he went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. Will definitely come again for it's other experiences like wine tasting! Highly recommended.

What a little gem in the centre of Croydon. Had a fabulous meal, the food was fresh and delicious and staff were attentive.

This was a perfect little wine bar to have a few glasses of red. Will definitely go back soon!

We haven't been here for a while, but the pizza has really gone down hill. The base was dry, maybe a tad burnt, and the toppings were sparce. It's a real shame.

Outstanding service, food and wine! The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, the pizzas were delicious (the best in Croydon!!!), and the wine selection was superb. A truly memorable dining experience! Definitely coming back

Great atmosphere, great food, lovely staff.

Great dinner as always. Service is excellent, wine selection is brilliant and the pizzas are delicious!

Basil & Grape… great food, fantastic atmosphere and perfect service.

Booked a table weeks in advance for Valentine's Day. Was today emailed by Basil & Grape to say our table had been cancelled with no further explanation. There was no sign of an apology, any sincerity or professionalism. This is either the result of self serving behaviour or total ineptitude.

Top staff, lovely wine and food is excellent, fresh and waiting times are very short. The lasagne is outstanding.

Grate place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food fantastic. Good wine and cocktail list.

Best place in Croydon where to have amazing cocktails, fantastic Italian pinsa sorrounded in a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Went there for a small reunion, the food was delicious and the service was great. I was doing dry January so can't comment on the wine personally but from what my friends would recommend it.

Food is very dry and bland no taste garlic cheese was was like cheese on toast will not be going back

Wonderful service provided by our server. The food took a little while to get, but once we got it, it was lovely. I would definitely recommend a visit 😊

Food took a very long time to arrive. It was too salty. The Food did not have a wide selection as a traditional Italian restaurant, it was also a salty. It was bitter taste. The only saving grace was the dessert afrogato. Despite it taking a long time to arrive at our table.

Loved the pizza's and cocktails

Do not bother with delivery, it turned up cold and portion sizes (topping quantity) were underwhelming and it took its time. It's a shame as I was looking forward to visiting in person, not so much now.

Loved this place! Molto autentico!

I 100% agree with all the great comments about this place. Fantastic little spot, lovely staff, good food and great wine. I totally recommend it.

Good vegan options and friendly staff

Niet gezellig. De “hokjes” zijn niet fijn, je kunt daar niet lekker zitten als je met 4 personen bent. Geen pasta alleen pinsas, dus klein uitgevallen pizzas… De geitenkaas/peersade stelt maar weinig voor. We komen niet meer terug.

I was eager to try this place, the food was OK, the pizza was very oily, the staff weren't very friendly especially the waiter. I'm not in a hurry 2 return

Great food, good wine...loved the charcuterie board! We will be back!

The only thing to be wary of is the service charge. Been here several times can't fault it. The service charge should be a choice not mandatory.

We ate here with the whole volleyball team and we absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was delicious, cosy atmosphere and friendly service. We had issues with the accommodation and they let us stay until close meanwhile we were sorting it out. Great experience all around!

Very friendly little bistro with attentive friendly staff and good food in generous portions. I shared one of their sharing boards and it was super, cold meats, cheeses, olives, bread etc very tasty, especially the walnuts and goats cheese. The goats cheese salad was tasty also, if a little sparse on the goats cheese.

Eccezionale ottima cucina e bellissimo locale gestito magnificamente persone serie e profrssionali lo consiglio a tutti se passate per East croydon non potete non mangiare li almeno una volta è come andare a roma e non vedere il Colosseo da pazzi. Ci ritornerò sicuramente Ci sono tornato ragazzi e ragazza sempre al top con un nuovo dolcetto per il periodo di natale ma non lo svelo andate e provatelo voi stessi really good

Really good pizza, delivery time was accurate

Lovely cosy venue with friendly staff

I paid for extra rockets but there was no rockets

Pizza and wine before a show....pleasant evening..

If I could give more stars I would. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was equally great. I'll definitely go back next time I'm Croydon.

Really good! Went for lunch was very cute and good service

This place has great potential but the service really lets it down. It was so slow. Took ages to take orders, then ages to bring drinks then ages to bring food. We wanted a quick lunch so this was very frustrating and seemed totally unnecessary as it wasn’t even busy. However the pizza was delicious and the staff were very nice - just very slow! Also the menus were odd. The one online, the one on the wall and the menu in the restaurant were all slightly different. The menus looked old - I think this place just needs a bit of love and attention. I suspect it’s somewhere where the manager is rarely present. However on the plus side it has a lovely area for a group wine tasting which would be great for small parties/get togethers.

This place exceeded our expectations. Everything was super nice, delicious pizza, nice atmosphere & music and great service. Highly recommended it.

Let got lunch wonderful staff. Freshly made pizza. Know their wines. Definitely recommend

Absolute gem, had no idea this existed in Croydon! Delicious authentic Italian food, friendly Italian staff and great atmosphere. I recommend the 3 wine selection (rose, white, red) and the platter. And they allow dogs :)

We went to this restaurant about a month ago and had a wonderful evening; We started by trying the special pizza - a lovely mix of cheese and pistachio, served alongside a lovely bottle of wine suggested by the staff specifically to compliment our food. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were friendly - especially our server, Omar, who made sure our evening was perfect. The ambiance made this a fantastic meal and we’ll definitely be coming back

Great place, recommend sitting at the booth

Delicious, thin crust pizzas freshly cooked. Daily lunch special is very good value for money, as is the 3-wine taster- each subtle different. Ice-creams and tiramisu were also good, but forget the vegan ice-cream - awful! Would definitely go back.

Some clever architecture makes this feel like a cosy outdoor patio space. Lovely pizzas with good vegetarian options.

Awful experience my friend and i were looking forward to an afteenoon of happy hour cocktails only to find there were no strawberries fo a dakari. We were offered a mango dakeri as a replacement the glass was very small and only half full! The small measure was so disappointing we complained only to be told the measurements were correct. Having tasted it there was no sign of mango flavour! We also ordered a salad but wrre told there was no goats cheese! Anyway it waa des finately not value for money and i would not recommwnd it to anyone.

Honestly, the best pizza in Croydon. The vegan pizzas are incredible and I especially recommend the Roma. Sure the menu is limited in terms of pasta but it's a small business and you wouldn't want to miss out on the pizza anyway. Update: It's been over a year since my first visit and I still think that this is the best vegan pizza I've ever had. I've been here thrice and will make the travel for more.

What a gem of a restaurant in central Croydon. A couple of decent vegan options and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Large selection of wine and spirits, lovely décor and friendly staff. It's intimate and relaxing, worth a visit!

Locale davvero bello e ben tenuto, staff super gentile e piatti cucinati come la tradizione italiana comanda, qualità e cordialità al primo posto. Super consigliato

Loved this place. Went for their happy hour and enjoyed delicious cocktails. The star of the show though was the sharing platter and the friendly service.

Lovely pre theatre dinner here. Good service, lovely grazing board and nice red wine. Service was good. Tiramisu was good but not as good as Nonna's 😉

Really nice restaurant, and very polite employees! The food its just great, and at a really fair price to be honest. Amazing service in a nice area, definitely recommend

Bravo Basil & Grape! Your outstanding food, excellent customer service, and fair price always makes this restaurant an excellent choice. Strongly recommended.

Shout out to Omar, Muhammad Ali and the rest of the staff! Staff were very friendly and entertaining and the food was spot on! 100% recommend

Best place in Croydon! Great food and drinks and lovely staff. Good prices and promotions too. Highly recommend 😊

£5 for a bottle of red/white wine if you spend £30 on a Wednesday! I have to start my review with the above promotion scheme that this restaurant is doing, because that’s the reason why I chose this place for my family dinner. With the 3 of us, it is really easy to order £30 for our meal to qualify for the promotion. We picked a bottle of red wine (£27 in value). In terms of food, we ordered a small size cheese and ham platter (around £12) and 2 pizzas. As you can see from the picture, the cheese and ham platter looks so nice and yummy, with a lot of nuts and dried fruit. It goes really well with the wine. The pizzas are good with HUGE servings, I like how they have the white base sauce instead of just the normal red sauce. To our surprise, there is no pasta to order from the menu! And the choice of starters is quite limited, consisting mostly of bread items. Normally, if you have already ordered pizzas for main, you wouldn’t still want to have bread for starter right? The food is overall above average, the atmosphere is classy and quiet and the servers are polite. The only downside is that they have very limited menu choices – if you don’t like pizza, there is nothing for you to order.

Our new fave local ! The staff is friendly , attentive and welcoming Amazing food and cocktails - especially margaritas we always enjoy! Definitely recommend this gem in CRO

Drinks menu is extensive and expertly prepared. Food is very good, not too many options though. But then, it's mainly a bar, so keep that in mind.

Thank you had a great meal at yours for 10 people, you kindly relocated us in the room at the back. Great food, wine , and service. Thank you

Perfect for date night! Food was delicious and service was attentive and helpful. Price was reasonable as well.

Always a great experience Basil & Grape. Pizza, wines, cocktails, and excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

Omar was a brilliant waiter and looked after us well. Food is tasty and excellently priced. Will be back!

Great food, the wine was amazing! Our waiter Omar was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the food and wine served. A really nice and attentive guy. The atmosphere was great! Can’t wait to come back again.

Einfach nur super lecker und frisch.

Incredible food and friendly staff !!

Really lovely venue and friendly staff. The pizza was also delicious and there were vegan options.

The food and staff were lovely, well priced place but I want to give a special thank you to Omar who was an amazing host and really bought light to our evening, grazie

No real atmosphere . Poor food. One small basil leaf on the whole pizza . Would not return. Service was inadequate at best

Excellent food, service & restaurant ambience.

The restaurant looks so pretty and the atmosphere is amazing. The staff is great, they were chatty, super nice and really careful at everything. Pizza was really really good and the way they serve it is really unique. I will go back there 100%

Very tasty food with a good selection of wine

Had a lovely time at this Italian restaurant, the atmosphere was, cozy and inviting. There is a superb drinks selection of wine tasting or flights, all of which very reasonably priced. Even the cocktail offerings is good, before 6pm 2-4-1 which is great! The food was served in a reasonable time and the small kitchenette at the end of the bar meant you could see the chef busy at work! The menu isn’t vast but what they offer they do very well, it’s tasty, and fresh, and there’s a lovely choice. The staff are friendly, attentive and extremely courteous. We booked via the fork app and the staff automatically applied the 50% discount without prompting to our bill. Was a lovely evening and we had a pleasant evening, thank you 👌🏻

Staff not very approachable and rude.

Nice place happy to go back. Fix the glass back to the barrel please.

Lovely food great service thanks

Good pizza and service. We have been there for dinner, Omar was really professional and friendly at the same time. Definitely recommend this place.

We absolutely loved the food, drinks, and service. Highly recommended 👌

Wow what a great choice we made. A spur of the moment decision to visit. Truly great food. Massima platter fantastic as were our two pizzas with a little touch of amazing Truffle oil. Mohammed served us and was great we asked for a few extra things, he and the team were very accomodating. A couple of Peroni's and some Primitiva. Top Marks!!

Happy hour time🥳🥳 Cocktail 2 x 1 just for 10£from 12 noon to 6 pm amazing this basil&grape pizza cocktail bar. I will back soon thanks Christian the best bartender in Croydon.

Love Basil and Grape! Their pizzas are delicious, staff are friendly and it's very well priced. I visited with family and we opted for their lunch menu which is any main and glass of wine for £14 (can have a soft drink instead for £12.) Pizzas were delicious and they were so amazing at helping with a family member who is gluten free. She said it was the best gluten free pizza she has ever had! Thankyou, we will certainly be back.
