Figli Del Vesuvio in Wandsworth

We really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the snarky staff and the sneaky approach to charging customers has completely put us off - they charge £2 for Parmesan cheese to have with your pasta (!) and also £2.50 for a bottle of tap water (daylight robbery.) None of this is explained to you so you leave feeling rather fleeced - much like the very despondent patron who was shouting at management for most of our meal. The food didn’t make up for it either. Entirely mediocre. Unfortunately one to miss specially with the many other options on Garrett lane.

We popped in for dinner whilst we charged our car at the local Lidl. The restaurant was empty and we wondered why....Our pizza was soggy and not good value for money. Spaghetti Carbonara was very heavy without much flavour.

Amazing, authentic, great value food with friendly staff. We’ve visit as often as we can. So nice to come here for a casual meal and drink after work, or for a treat at the weekend.

We visited the restaurant as driven past a couple of times & it looked busy so thought would give it a try that was a huge mistake walked in we didn’t receive the friendliest welcome & was seated on a wonky table service was quite fast for starters I had Bruschetta which was burnt so not a great start then for main I had carbonara it’s the worst I’ve ever tried it was not thick & creamy instead it was dry tasteless & there was no sign of ham or bacon instead it looked a grey mince absolutely vile - we also ordered pizza one of which was more like a flat bread with salad rather than a pizza it literally had 3 small pieces of Ham loads of rocket & some shaved cheese on top very dry & tasteless not what I would call a pizza no tomato base no melted cheese & very little ham definitely would not recommend or return

I’m Italian and the pizza here is genuinely amazing! So delicious! Definitely recommend. Very genuine

Man this pizza is good! Delicious tomato base, plenty cheese, not greasy at all, perfect base and certainly seems authentic to me compared to a lot of other pizza places around. Ordered via deliveroo, only £11 which is excellent value. I won’t go anywhere else for pizza now, can’t recommend enough.

Stumbled across this place when looking for somewhere for lunch! Pizzas were so delicious, bruschetta amazing and the staff so welcoming, smiley and friendly! Amazing place!

This isn't authentic Italian. This is Italian food reinterpreted for a British audience. Re-interpreting Italian food is like interpolating music but off of cassette quality recordings. Something gets lost along the way. It's Italian food after it comes out the back. However, this is a great place if you're going with family for a quick, cheap bite. Have fun!

Great place with great food, what more is there to say. Went with my girlfriend to pick up some pizzas for the evening and was greeted with great customer service and a genuine smile.

excellent saltimbocca nice crunchy and tasty quality ingredients and precise delivery even though it was Saturday night 👌

Per me la pizza è Napoletana, e dai figli del vesuvio è la vera pizza napoletana. Quando vado nei locali oltre che mangiare mi piace parlare con lo staff per capire la loro idea di cucina ,e in questo caso ho capito che le idee sono chiare fare la pizza buona. Bravi veramente una pizza eccellente

This is a proper Italian pizzeria. Fabulous authentic pizza, great selection of other Italian dishes, good Italian wine and beer. Unpretentious, authentic and brilliant. I hope it never ends.

Our favourite pizzaria - Great for takeaway or eating. Our daughter loves the pasta and the staff are great with kids.

One of the best neapolitan pizzas in London. Consistently good and authentic. The ingredients despite other reviews, are fresh and staff is friendly, anyone pizza lovers must

The paste was so burned and black I could only eat the toppings or it tasted like charcoal. I would rather order from Well-Kneaded pizza instead since the price point is the same and the quality of ingredients so much higher and tastier!

Ieri sera ho cenato dai figli del Vesuvio con un amica.. Che dire ambiente familiare caloroso alla mano ma professionale pulito gli ingredienti sono proprio mediterranei.. La simpatia allegria la senti appena entri.. Ottima location facile da trovare mi sono trovato benissimo.. Ps lo gnocco e un qualcosa da non credere...il baba poi ha chiuso in bellezza.. Ci tornerò

When you missing at proper pizza and you don't have chance to get flight back at home because you busy with work and you only want top pizza. Yes as I say proper top pizza from naples you can find in London are something amazing especially if is on Christmas periods. I only want to say thank you to this wonderful family pizzeria here in London not far from tooting. The pizza are made following the proper way and originality. Again and again thank you for let me discovery this bellissima and buonissima pizzeria.

I loved the parmigiana it was delicious , but the blonde waitress irritated me as she was constantly looking at my fiancé and quite rude with me. Please get rid of her

This restaurant brings the taste of Napoli to London. The entire experience is not to be missed from the pizza dough preparation to the cooking in the traditional wood fired oven. Buonissimo ❣️

Great selection of starters and very good pizza. Been there twice and would like to go again. There's chance to watch some Serie A games too. Highly recommended.

Easy to park location. Restaurant is clean and cosy and there is outdoor seating which isn't too bad as traffic was quite light on Saturday night. Staff are attentive and pizzas are delicious. Great alternative to the big pizza chains on high street. Menu does...

We are regulars at this great little restaurant close to our house. I always have the Margherita with mushrooms, as they make the best pizzas – thin, thin base but chewy (as far removed from a cracker as you can get!), with their great sauce...

Pizza is amazing. Service is 100% what you want, not too much and not too little. Perfect little Italian restaurant. Such a hidden gem! Will always be returning.

It was our first time and a recommendation by an Italian friend. The pizza was the best we had in SW London. Service was good enough and the atmosphere is humble but authentic. Will definitely go back.

Tasty, reasonably priced stone baked pizzas - never had a problem collecting after ordering over the phone!

I have been to this restaurant in person and thought it was great, which is why I chose to order from them when I wanted a takeaway. They clearly do not put as much effort into their takeaway pizzas as they do the pizzas they...

Excellent traditional pizza with a great selection and variety to choose from. Cool pizza oven in the middle of the restaurant, very authentic

Authentically melt in your mouth Napalese pizza! The fastest service ever, I literally ordered, sat down, looked for some money in my pocket, looked up and my pizza was ready!

Very good Pizza and the best dessert "Baba'" in London. the Pizzas are autenthinc Italian and I suggest to leave a space for a dessert we had tested few and all of them were amazing. The ambience is nice and in tipcal Italian style. The...

We had a lovely Saturday evening here. Staff are very nice and attentive. Pizzas are delicious! Can recommend 👍

I go to figli del Vesuvio almost every weekend and my favourite dish is gnocchi with sausages and gorgonzola cheese . My husband loves calamari and zucchine and sciatiello with frutti di mare . Sometimes we have pizza which is also excellent. The place is...

When we first came to Figli Del Vesuvio, we were instantly greeted. The food came very quick and the food was very nice with not too much oil and a good Cheese to Sauce ratio. 👍🍕

This amazing warmly welcomed restaurant is delivering amazing pizzas! It’s simply delicious with fresh ingredients and really tasty and trust me, I feel like to be in Italy... no wait.. IT’S BETTER!

Don't be fooled by the appearance of this restaurant - the food is amazing and you must visit! Its worth the journey, wherever you are coming from! The pizza's are amazing - pasta was delicious! Go, go go! Bold statement but I would say its...

When we came in we were met by a waitress showing us to our seats. The seats were very comfortable. The tables were set out nicely. The table service was on point, the second we ordered our drinks the waitress was right on it. The...

You just can’t beat it. Very chilled atmosphere and authentic Italian. Tasty dough and as they say, 101% fresh!

We have been here several times. Fantastic pizza! Just like the original Neapolitan ones! Good service. We travel 45 mins through the London traffic to enjoy their pizza!

I’ve been here few times, and I’m so happy and pleased every time. Pizza is great, the sourdough is well cooked, not raw like few places, ingredients are fresh and well cooked. The waitress is awesome, lovely service, smiley, friendly and kind. Best pizza I’ve...

We were just walking down garrat Lane and we saw this place. We ordered one salad (the one with tuna) and two pizza. Salad generous portion and fresh. Pizzas were Naple style and excellent. Real mozzarella and not the fake replacement they use sometime in...

Now a regular here and just have to add a few more menu recommendations after the last few visits! The pizzas are excellent, but for me the assemble-yourself tapas/meze from assorted starters is the way to go... A’ Frittura (croquette, arancino, frittatina, mozzarellina): quick-fried croquettes...

We visited here as a Father’s day treat. Pizza is pizza you say! Well this was significantly better than some well known Italian restaurants I could mention. The pizzas are made be Italians from the home of pizza in Naples. They were delicious and there...

After a distinctly disappointing drop-in to the nearby Leather Bottle the day before (see separate review) because this place was closed, we made it here for lunch on Wed 23rd May 2018. It's a throwback in the best possible way to the trattorias of the...

On YouTube a saw a video of the pizzaiolo of Figli del Vesuvio and the pizzas looked good so I was keen to try sometime. The pizzeria is down to earth in an unassuming area, but we received a friendly welcome and the stone oven...

Finally a really good place that preserves the real pizza not putting bizarre extratopping as pineapple or lamb! The real Italian yesterday with very good prices and a large of choice of starters, main and pizza! Is not central but it worths. 100% adviced!

Me and my friend decided to go at Figli del Vesuvio for Easter lunch and the service was unacceptable. The waitress wasn't give us any attention because she was busy spending her own Easter Lunch with member of the staff. She didn't give to us...

Figli Del Vesuvio is the BEST pizza I had in London in 6 years! I’m Neapolitan so ... I can arrogantly and confidently say I know my pizzas ... and this pizza is amazing. From the dough to the baking ... from the tomato to...

I have been to Figli Del Vesuvio on numerous occasions and always return as they do the best pizza I have ever had On this occasion, I decided to have the a'scusumata pizza but as this is a four cheese pizza with no tomato sauce...

I went here with my partner for our monthly date night as it had been recommended to us by our friends who had used the take away service. The pizza was really nice, can’t fault it and the portion sizes were good. The only issue...

Second time here. Did not disappoint. Authentic honest Italian feel (Italian tv channel playing in corner!). Delicious pizzas all round. Will definitely come again

This neighbourhood pizza parlour is excellent. The pizza choice is very varied and the starters are exceptional. Get a reservation as there are only +/-30. The staff is efficient friendly and accurate. Great family meal!

Visited with family on a Sunday lunchtime. The restaurant itself is pretty basic but the food is delicious. Freshly cooked to order, very generous portions and not to heavy on the purse strings. Staff were very welcoming too! We shared the O’ bruschettone and then...

Amazing homemade pizza made by proper Naples guys. The taste of it is simply great thanks to the fresh food used on it. Wonderful environment and the place is kindly decorated by italian (Naples) stuffs that make the Pizza shop different from style. Definitely I...

We are huge pizza lovers. We thought we had hit most of the best places in London. I saw Figli del Vesuvio recommended in a Timeout article last Tuesday so suggested to the missus we head down there and try it out. We did just...

Although the outside of the restaurant looks a bit basic the welcome was great and the food better. I had the Penne Amatriciano which was full of flavour and delicious! I then had a lemon sponge pudding which light and a nice ending to the...

Literally incredible! Food tastes amazing and staff are lovely! One of my favourite places to eat in London!

I born in south italy and I know very well the Pizza and I didn’t think that in this Pizzeria mades one pizza so good! If you can eat a good pizza came here!

They are not sons of Vesuvius: they don't know how to make a proper pizza! We ordered a pizza supposedly with buffalo mozzarella except it wasn't, plus the tomatoes were very acidic and salty. The saltimbocca parmigiana had one tiny piece of aubergine inside and...

Staying at a friend's for the weekend in Tooting Broadway we decided to try out Figli del Vesuvio. Small well run Italian pizzeria, with excellent ingredients and no queue unlike more mainstream places (franco manca, pizza pilgrims). Pizzas are truly originals and we have been...

If you want great pizza - thin but chewy base, with tasty tomato sauce, melting mozzerella, and lovely toppings, then you must try this place! They do a good glass (or two!) of prosecco as well :0) The staff are super quick, very effecient and...

I would thoroughly recommend a'frittura (spelling?) for starter and the a'cafone pizza. Good value food and charming service for us, seemed to be as thriving as ever!

Best Neapolitan Pizza in London, Fabio the co owner Pizza Chef is from Napoli and truly trained in Naples, most of the ingredients are from Italy and the wood fired oven has been imported directly from Naples! If you want a truly Neapolitan pizzeria experience...

So sad to see this excellent local Pizza place has closed down. A real loss to the area. Hoping it might it appear..rumour has it they hadn't paid bills.

Visited as two families and delighted to find plenty of Italian customers.. always a good sign. Starter of deep fried calamari and courgettes is delicious and we shared three plates between 8 of us.. We then all had pizza and they are fabulous. Crisp and...

I have been to this authentic Italian restaurant today to celebrate my sister Birthday. I heard already nice things about their pizza and I finally tried it... It's just amazing! I am originally from Naples (the city where the pizza has been created) and I...

Really excellent, authentic pizza, friendly team, really mice little place. The pizzas are the main event, and superb they are too. Great choices. Other dishes are available, nice pastas and salads, also this place is licensed.

Great food - some of the best calamari I've ever had and the pizza is to die for! Very lucky to have this place on my doorstep - great to see it's expanded to create a more comfortable dining experience.

Some of the best pizza we've eaten. The calzonne was the best. I had the aforte with spicy salami. There was a bitter kind of broccoli I loved. Youngest daughter has pasta carbanara, not bad, but not great but it went down well. Placed in...

Excellent pizza, friendly atmosphere and great desserts ... I'm satisfied. I recommend it to all Italians and not looking for a real Neapolitan pizza in London.

I was here on a Saturday evening and it was good to arrive and be seated straight away as the place wasn't very busy. I am not sure they are always busy but no harm in booking a table. They have a proper pizza oven...

We went here a number of times when there were just a few tables and had good pizza and quick service. We have been twice since it expanded into the shop next door and have been really disappointed. The service is now poor. The last...

Very poor. Having been several times, i probably will never go again. Have given the place numerous chances to be as good as it should and as it once was. Biggest problem is the lady who does front of house, she should definitely be back...

This is a nice little restaurant that does pizza and pasta very well good ingredients very good prices good service really really worth a look

I have been in many wood-fired pizzerias with genuine Neapolitan products in London, this was a bit disappointing. It's a bit in the middle of nowhere but ok if you live nearby. The waitress was fairly kind but the rest of the staff looked quite...

Proper Neapolitan pizza, highly recommended! Certainly one of the best in London, and I have tried quite a lot of them!

I always enjoy having a dinner with my family at figlidelvesuvio ! I really love carbonara pasta , and my kids obviously loved the pizza Highly recommended !!!

The pizza is just truly astonishing. Time after time the fresh quality is repeated. Easily the best I've tasted in London, and quite likely anywhere (including Italy). The rest of the menu is also great (rustic starters are like being in Italy), but it's so...

Best ital food ever! we love Italy and Italian food. i loved the parmigiana with aubergine, my wife always gets the pizza as this pizza reminds her the pizza we tried in Sorrento highly recommend this place. One think they should improve is the look...

You don't really need to go to Naples to have a delicious pizza anymore. You can now go to Figli del Vesuvio and you will not be disappointed. If you like a thin yet soft tasty pizza, look no further and give them a try....

I had never eaten food so good in all of London. great pizza and wonderful frittura. 100% Italian place definitely i will come back

We have been here a few times and the pizzas are consistently good. Very freshly cooked, tasty, cooked on a wood fired oven and genuinely Italian. It's a no frills restaurant but well worth it and more spacious too now they have expanded into the...

They are the best!!! You wont find a better place to eat, they make the best pizzas in London every time over and over again always the top, ciaooooo

Really the best napolitan pizza in London!! Wood fired oven, fresh ingredients and the super skilled pizza chef Fabio, nothingelse needed!

Been there multiple times recently. I can definitely recommend this place, the pizza is absolutely amazing, true authentic Neapolitan pizza, which is BTW not the same you might get in the north of Italy - more crunchy and thinner - and definitely not the type...

It has been a long time that I try to know if the lack in London of a good honest pizza, but only self proclaiming "real Italian" staff, depends, in this are of globalization, on market, water, wheat or what else. Now my trouble is...

I ordered takeaway from here last week and can honestly, hand on heart, say this is the worst pizza I have ever had. The pizzas we ordered were the Polpettona and the Lazzarella. Is was almost as though the bases had been chucked in the...

I love this place. The best pizza in London without a doubt. Such an authentic Italian flavour. Repeat customer a few time since to. Awesome place

I had never eaten food so good in all of London. great pizza and wonderful frittura. 100% Italian place definitely i will come back

I haven’t visited all London’s Neapolitan pizzeria by a long way but – so far – this is the best in terms of a genuine Naples experience. Can’t fault it in any way... well, it’s not exactly a glitzy venue, and the trek out here...

If you have ever wondered how having a pizza in Naples might be, then you should really try this place! Their pizza is so soft and so tasty, that if you have a bite and you close your eyes for a moment, you could really...

I loved the food and the pizza for me was the best in London . I had fried calamari with courgettes and my husband eat the parmigiana With aubergine and they where delicious ! We will definitely go again as me and my family loved...

Had the pizza for take away and once got home it was still amazing crunchy crust, super fresh ingredients great mozzarella best I've had in London for sure and I'm really fussy with food.

The menu is truly reflective of napolitan cuisine. Loved the pizza, but not the best calzone I've had. The service was friendly and the dessert menu reasonable

I had try many pizzeria (franco manca,bravi ragazzi,santa maria) but Figli del Vesuvio is simply THE BEST, and it s just next door to where I live! I recommend everyone to try it and I m sure you will never change anymore!

This restaurant has a warm friendly atmosphere. The two men who run their restaurant are committed to making a success of their business. The food is organic and superb tasting. You really do feel that you have dined in Naples. Reasonably priced and good portions...

I rarely review restaurants but just wanted to say what a great truly Italian meal we had at Figli del Vesuvio. Don't be put off by the modest decor: the pizzas are authentic Italian and the pasta very tasty. The aubergine parmigiana was the best...

I don't like reviewing places twice but I felt like four stars hadn't done this resturant justice so after a second visit I have decided to rate them again! This place is an all round five star resturant! Great food, good value, friendly staff and...

What a tasty pizza I had! Highly recommend this pizzeria. I have been there with friends. We had a mix of antipasti to share and a pizza after those. We all really enjoyed the pizza. Was to our likening...fresh tomato, buffalo mozzarella, etc... Anyway all...

This place is brilliant! I read about it in timeout and after realising how close I lived I knew I had to try it. I thought having been in timeout it would be a typical over priced pizza place but it wasn't at all! The...

We live a few doors down from this delicious italian restaurant and when we (me and my partner) have had a stressful week and do not fancy cooking dinner, we will pop down to the pizzeria and order two pizzas for collection. They never disappoint....

Living just a few hundred yards away as we do from this place we had mourned the loss of two excellent Italian eateries in the last year or so. Despite what the main road suggests to other reviewers on here said summerstown is a very...
