Cento Uno in Kingston upon Thames

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at Cento Uno last night. The food was exceptional—especially the meatballs and the sausage pasta, which were perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. However, what truly made the night special was the warm and outstanding service from Giuseppe. His attention and friendliness created a wonderful family atmosphere that elevated the evening. I can’t recommend Cento Uno enough for both its fantastic cuisine and the genuine hospitality. A perfect spot for a memorable night out!

lovely evening☺️food and the service was wonderful too xx

Probably one of the best pizza in London. Relaxed atmosphere, welcoming staff. Can never go wrong with diavola pizza and a glass of primitivo wine.

Delicious food and great service. Food came fast, and everything tasted amazing. Staff were great and happy to make recommendations when asked. I can’t wait to go back! We foolishly didn't book in advance and they were full but they made a reservation for us to return within the hour which was much appreciated - it was so worth the wait!

amazing service lovely workers amazing environment

Such a lovely authentic Italian! I’ve lived nearby for 20+ years and only just discovered it. Had delicious food, a lovely wine and amazing service. Will definitely be coming back!

Light local Italian with passionate simple food

Came here for a big birthday with 14 of us and everything was superb. Staff are super friendly and service was outstanding. Food was very authentic and the Tiramisu was one of the best 👌 - highly recommend

I recently dined at a small Italian restaurant where the squid was the highlight—perfectly cooked and flavourful. The pasta was good, though not outstanding, and the pizza fell short of expectations. Service was friendly but a bit disorganised. Despite not being busy, the server asked us to repeat our order and brought the wrong drink. The restaurant is also quite small, with tables uncomfortably close together. While the food was enjoyable, the tight space and service hiccups didn’t fully justify the higher prices. Overall, a decent experience but room for improvement.

This is the first time I have been there and was hugely disappointed as my starter a bruschetta was more pizza dough then tomato’s on top and the spaghetti carbonara was frankly inedible as the pasta was only half cooked. I sent it back and it was replaced with one only marginally better cooked. This was not al dente it was tough and chewy. The price of the meal plus the house ie cheapest white wine, my companion had similar food to me came to £110.00 without service. I shall never return

Had dinner with friends on a Friday evening. Our food was amazing, but I still had menu envy for what others were having. Service was impeccable. Reasonably priced, will definitely go back.

Wonderful atmosphere, very vibey but chilled, really friendly and attentive staff. Food was amazing! And great selection of wines and cocktails. Perfect for any occasion but a special one.

Nice food excellent service and reasonable price

Amazing service to say the least, followed by top quality products and the eggs poached to perfection. Highly recommend!

Our favourite local pizza spot - can’t fault them for their dine-in experience, all their dishes (including pasta and starters) are delicious and service is always very friendly. Their reliability when it comes to collection orders lets them down - have ordered twice for collection, and both times when we have turned up at the collection time (not early), our order had not been started by the chef, so we ended up waiting 10-15 minutes for the pizzas to be ready - defeats the point in ordering in advance really! If it wasn’t for this I would easily score them 5 starts on all fronts.

Excellent tasty fresh food, great hospitality from the pleasant friendly and efficient staff. The tiramisu is said to be exceptional... I must agree 😉👍🏻.

The photo on muddy stilettos website shows a lovely covered outdoor area - this is not the case!!!!! Outdoor means sat on the pavement! Hugely misleading. Waited 15 mins to order our drinks and another 10 mins for them to arrive. Asked for the bill at the end and it took 20 mins to arrive. Awful service. Food is excellent but should be at those prices. Please be aware when you book outdoors that it is not as advertised on Google search, it is a table on the pavement!

Exceptional restaurant. Service, food, atmosphere, all brilliant. Even packed on a Wednesday! Cracking place to spend a nice evening.

Excellent pizzas. And gave my grandmother a happy birthday ice cream! Really appreciate it and will come again!

Turned up without a booking (pub on river had taken 40 mins just to bring a drink so left) & what a find! Fantastic pizza, delicious (tasted like fresh) pasta. Choice of complimentary still or sparkling water. Reasonable price. Lovely front of house lady. Just excellent!

The food is amazing, and the staff are helpful and attentive. We came at around 7 pm, and the place is full and felt that made the wait time for the food longer than expected. Our seat is outside, and given the wait time is long and they do not have the outdoor heater, it made the experience a bit uncomfortable. On the other hand there are blankets which sort of made it more tolerable

Amazing Italian food and excellent service.

Always enjoy going to Cente Uno and it's our go to date night spot. The staff are always super friendly and the food incredible. The place for Italian!

Amazing pizza, carbonara and beer!

I can not say enough good things about this place. Went for my birthday last night and wow, what a fantastic experience! We have many different requirements in our group, vegan, halal and celiac and the staff were just out of this world. The care and attention that was given to make sure everyone was happy and catered for was amazing. The food was fantastic and the place creates a very cool vibe with great music and lighting. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks to the whole team for making my birthday a night to remember ❤️

We love Cento Uno. Giuseppe and the rest of the team always make us feel very welcome, the atmosphere is great and the food delicious. They aglio et olio pasta is to die for. Lovely little restaurant!

Always delicious pizza with really friendly and welcoming service. Best spot in the neighbourhood.

Delicious pizza! Even provided vegan cheese at no extra cost! Thank you for the complimentary drink!

The chap who runs this place is fantastic. Friendly, fun and can't do enough for you. Great atmosphere, with quality authentic food. My favourite restaurant in Surbiton.

A fantastic little place. I’m slightly reticent to write this review as it’s becoming increasingly more and more difficult to reserve a table at short notice. For good reason. Food first. A short but extremely well executed menu. The Carbonara is truly exceptional. Made with mild bogglingly good guanciale and no cream, heaven forbid - (shame on you AlForno). Pizzas are decent and children very well looked after. My only criticism is that the truly sublime calves liver was taken off the menu. Please bring it back! Service next. If you have the A-Team it is exemplary. Guiseppe, the restaurant manager is a legend. Andrea Riva at his much touted restaurant in Barnes could take a masterclass from Guiseppe. If it’s the B-Team service can be a bit sketchy. Finally, the owners are fully engaged and open to feedback.

charming delivery man, good pizza

perf! have had many birthday gatherings here and it’s great fun. the carbonara in particular is fantastic - if you’re going in a two, i reccomend sharing a pasta and a pizza to get the best of both!

Great atmosphere, delicious food and attentive staff. One of the best places to eat this side of Surbiton. Recommend!

This was my first time coming to Cento Uno and the staff members were friendly and accommodating. I had the carbonara - I’m super fussy about carbonara and hate when it’s packed with loads of cream - but it was tasty and authentic, very similar to one you’d find in Italy. Prices weren’t unreasonable either! Will definitely be back :)

Great food, including the amazing brunch options! Staff is very attentive, with great service.

Lovely Italian restaurant on Surbiton, all fresh and yummy. I WOULD RECOMMEND it

Amazing food, was the best carbonara I've ever had and my partner really enjoyed her pizza. The service was also incredible, thank you for being so accommodating with us and our 10 month old, really enjoyed our lunch. Will be returning in the near future.

Best Carbonara ever, best service. Highly recommended. Definitely visit again

Best Carbonara ever, best service. Highly recommended. Definitely visit again, friendly staff, great location... .

Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Lovely evening

What a lovely restaurant! Such amazing food and the service was stellar. We recently had American friends come into town and they loved this place. My girlfriend said that she loved the carbonara and I have to agree, it was delicious. The only issue we had was when we recently tried to walk in, the online maps time said the place was open until midnight but when we went in to sit, they informed us they stopped serving food after 9:30 and we needed a reservation. As it gets really busy, I can understand but hopefully the time can be amended so other don’t make that mistake

Wonderful Italian restaurant and coming from an Italian is a true complement! The menu offers classic Italian dishes like bolognese and superb pizzas but also sophisticated seasonal like polenta and guanciale. And the Ferrero dessert is superb. Giuseppe the owner makes you feel at home. Grazie mille!

Cento Uno is one of my favourite restaurants - not just in the Greater London area, but also in the UK! The delicious Italian food is made by Italians who are so passionate about cooking and serving the best tasting fare they can. And it shows. They look into and assess EVERY detail on the menu and each dish on it. But it's not just the gorgeous food that makes me and others keep coming back here time and time again. It's also the wonderful vibe and the superbly warm, engaging and professional service. Cento is a truly special place. And you have to go there...so you too can enjoy this excellent restaurant as much as I and so many others do time after time. I love it! And so will you!

Food is great and the portions are good. It's not the cheapest place, but you definitely get what you pay for. The atmosphere could use a bit better music I think.

Definitely the best “proper” pizza in the area if you don’t fancy one of the big chain options.

Excellent service and excellent pizzas. We went on a Friday evening and as always it was packed. Atmosphere was warm and homely.

Incredible food and the staff are friendly and welcoming

Great service but not impressed with the pizza. The pizza dough was very tough and the toppings were a strange combinations. We all left over half of our pizza’s and for the price unimpressed! Should have gone to pizza express!

Came for dinner here with girlfriends Thursday 5th October and the food was soooo good! Would highly recommend! Still dreaming about the food! Great service too. I didn’t get to thank the staff for a lovely meal on the night as had to rush off, so thank you.

I have to agree with other reviewers, the menu is changing and not for the better. There used to be a fantastic fixed price menu - no more. There used to be Italians working here, but not any more. The flair and refinement of the old menu has been replaced with larger portions. It’s not bad, but sadly a once great restaurant is now just a quite good restaurant. Oh well.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in the area. Margarita with extra onion and chili.

Service was terrible, the waiter didn’t bring enough menus for everyone, didn’t bring the drinks without being promoted, had zero patience and was surly and unwelcoming. We didn’t see a single smile or friendly gesture from the waiter and were made to feel unwelcome. The food was ok but not great, it feels like the quality has slipped but the prices have gone up. Not everything was that hot and the dressing in the salad was very sweet. The beers weren’t very cold and the wine took an age to come and required several prompts before it came to the table. The resturant was very loud and the overall atmosphere wasn’t very welcoming.

It was OK, nothing special. Good portion size for a pizza.

What a awful place, loud back ground music, expensive food and wine, limited menu, packed in like sardines.' much better places to eat in Surbiton

Food was pretty good and prices weren't unreasonable (except for the starters - they were overpriced). Service could have been better. Was given just a spoon to eat the carbonara which was a bit odd! I'd visit again though.

I enjoyed my pizza, and the wine. I also thought the service was pleasant, and the decor good. My friend wasn't as keen on her dish, although I think that may have been more of a personal taste issue, rather than the food itself being bad. The only complaint I have is the lack of vegetarian options.

Kailin was fantastic - particularly patient with our friend and excellent service from start to finish. A wonderful experience - thank you so much!

Very reasonable prices, good food and friendly staff X

Attentive service, starters good, pizza lacking taste and overpriced, nice ambience...expect better from a restaurant in the No.97 stable .

Kailin offered excellence service and made my sisters birthday so special. The food and wine complimented each other so well. Would definitely recommend

Great Italian pizza! Definitely recommend

Very refreshing, firstly the food, that does a great job, I really enjoyed my food and I will happily come back for more. What I enjoyed the most though was the service, they were brilliant, attentive without being invasive, accommodating and really nothing was too much. That they were all young staff, willing and eager was a blast of fresh air, I could not complement them enough, amazing people and that made this evening very memorable. If only we could get this kind of service in other places, they have set the bar so very high we will have to come back for more.

Order the Tricolore pasta and you will be hooked. Friendly staff and with some Italian customers sitting behinds us, we felt we were in Italy.

UPDATE: Ate there last week and not of the same quality any more, pizza was nowhere near as good as it used to be. Wine list had also gone down hill, cost of living crisis I assume. Sad really... The diavola pizza is a work of art. Huge hat tip to Fabio on creating the best pizza I have ever had in the UK, I look forward to many more. Staff are fantastic and the ambiance is that of a family run Italian Trattoria, all round great dining experience.

The service in this restaurant is amazing and the food is so so good! I came from central London to meet some friends and was beyond satisfied with everything about this place. Peter who works there went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. Will 1000% be going back!

Good spot for food in Surbiton, pizzas and cocktails are brilliant.

Nice local restaurant with upmarket prices

Fab place, big portions of tasty food, great service and atmosphere with funky music.

Disclaimer: this was an Uber eats delivery. Was excited to try Cento Uno as been recommended by a friend. Left quite disappointed The diavola pizza turned up cold. I had to warm it up in the air fryer. I only live a few minutes away. The toppings were lop sided. Half the pizza had topping on the other half was very bare. The side that had topping on was nice though. Ordered (& paid for) extra cheese but literally seemed just like a normal cheese portion Ordered (& paid for) extra garlic sauce. I didn't get any garlic sauce at all. Not sure I'll be ordering from here again. Maybe better service and experience in the restaurant

Our absolute favorite spot for dinner. The food is delicious - you must get the Cento Uno pizza and/or the carbonara. They take such good care of us every time we’re there!!

Enjoyed a lovely dinner at Cento Uno, sat at the bar which was cozy and had a view of the pizza master. Everything on the menu is well composed - arancini was tasty with the sauces complimenting the spinach and cheeses inside, prawn and crab pasta was brimming with a lovely briny seafood sauce with a nice punch of chili (special request). The service is very relaxed and friendly with Giuseppe manning the front of the house and making everyone feel like they are dining at a friend's place. Wines are reasonable and the options are a nice compliment to the dishes. Parking is easy on Maple Road, and we will be back again soon!

Gluten free pizzas are so good here (and non-gf ones too!). They also make amazing cocktails.

Great food and atmosphere, would definitely return.

Great food, amazing atmosphere. Always a great night at Cento!!!

Great food, even better service, especially by Peter who catered to all of our needs!

Great food with abysmal service. Will claim to have gluten & dairy free but when you arrive it is unavailable. Also when ordering a take away or pick up it can take over 2 hours & they will offer you a complimentary drink for your troubles

Been here a couple of times. Always a good place, but this recent visit was great which is why I’m writing this review. Peter really took care of me and my mates who haven’t been to this restaurant before. We were all so impressed and had a great time with him. Go visit, and ask for Peter. He’ll treat you well.

The best spot for an authentic Italian dinner. Visited last night top food and top service, our server was very friendly and the manager made sure we felt welcome from the begining to the end of our visit, lovely to meet you Peter, you certainly are a huge asset to the business. Will definitely come back!

Visited tonight with some friends, and we had a wonderful night. The food was delicious but what we enjoyed the most was Peter’s charisma, so fun chatting to him and thanks for keeping up with the whole of us. Deffo will be back!

Absolutely stone cold. A shame - looks like a nice pizza. (Also not sliced, which is a bit inconvenient.)

Family meal to celebrate, food was delicious & staff were super lovely!

Real Italian food. Just great! Well worth it

Great food, atmosphere and the best service.

Great evening, thank you. Delicious pizza and welcoming staff

Delivery time kept being pushed back and food was stone cold by the time it arrived. The food is always amazing from cento uno so this is a delivery issue only.

Fantastic last-minute celebration! Delicious food and very accommodating. Grazie.

My friend and I had a very disappointing experience at Cento Uno. We were served swiftly by a waitress and managed to order our food (olives and two pizzas) with no problem. There was a good atmosphere, the restaurant was packed but after 40 minutes...

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. All boxes checked! Love this place.

We visited last Saturday evening and were shocked at the racket!!! A table of about 30 fellas on our left that were so loud we could hardly hear one another! Then a table of 8 behind shouting and screaming. Could the staff have requested that...

Warm welcome, ordered food, and drinks swiftly. Starters came, and we had meatballs and layered aubergine. The meatballs were weird, and the aubergine was tasteless. Then we had the meat calzone that wasn't cooked long enough to even melt the cheese. The sausage pasta was...

The pasta is very tasty; rich sauces; overall very good service

Very tasty pasta but a rather small portion. The toilet facilities are limited as the ladies was closed off and it was the only one available which wasn't ideal. The waiting staff couldn't have been more helpful.

The food was 15 mins early. We thought that it was great quality but the arancini needs to either be a larger portion for the same price or the same portion for a lower price - not good value for money as it stands. Great mixed salads perfectly dressed.

We had a fantastic meal here recently and it’s highly recommended. When we booked we let them know it was one of our birthdays, and when we arrived there was a personalised birthday card on the table, which was a lovely gesture. The atmosphere was great. It’s small, so feels really intimate and like a family run place. The food was also delicious. Fern and all the staff were so on-it and friendly, they really made it a special evening. Excellent restaurant - can’t wait to go again!

The staff is friendly , the place also look nice and I do believe that the food from the kitchen is pretty good . Unfortunately the pizza dough is really disappointing . I was expecting much much more from the pizza .

Absolutely wonderful pizzas with very friendly, knowledgeable staff

I have been excited to try this restaurant for ages as we are huge fans of No.97. It was very busy on a Weds night so clearly very popular. The service was friendly and attentive and the wine was really nice. We felt a little...

Ordered the set menu, with appetisers being good although a little salty. The main was very large and flavour was average however I'm sure ordering off the à la carte would be better. For £40 each I expected better quality but by no means bad...

What a pizza - I will be back for sure! Just eat coming up with the goods on this one!
