Flavours of Naples in Southwark

Great Italian food, great atmosphere, really friendly staff! Best Italian food I had in a long time! Absolutely recommend it!!!

Gran comida, acogedor y gran ambiente y siempre agradable personal - me sentí como de vuelta en Italia por unas horas - gracias chef Ciro para otra buena noche, sin duda volveré

Nice little restaurant a couple of minutes from Borough tube station..Simple and tasty flavours. Quality ingredients. Specialises in seafood. Neapolitan pastiera the pick of the desserts. Friendly service. Enjoyed it. Pricey.

Great food, great wine, great music, great staff - if only every restaurant could be like this. They specialise in sea food, I had the pasta and seafood platter; my companion the wild boar.

We arrived when they had just opened to a very enthusiastic welcome by the owner. The menu was explained- and the food was delicious . We will definitely return when in London next.

Visiting the Southwark Playhouse down the street, we looked for a quiet place to eat before the theatre. The host was charming, the food and wine excellent - it really felt like Italy.

A great cosy, local Italian only marred by the Specials board not revealing the cost of them and a vegetable canneloni main dish which was miniscule. When pointed out to the manager he was quite aggressive and said it was only £13 which slightly missed the point. There was a disconnect between him and the serving staff which may explain his initial reaction but me friends will not return. The billnalso charged us for 2 anneloni's but luckily we spotted their mostake. Great shame as nice food.

Outstanding food, to call it delicious doesn't do it justice. As wonderful as being back in Italy!!!

Absolutely wonderful. We passed it on the street and are so so happy we did! The food is fantastic, there was a singer who was equally great. I cannot recommend it highly enough

A lovely Italian restaurant serving fabulous food. Service was excellent. Pizzas were fabulous as were the pasta options.

This is quite the little gem. Food was perfect, homely but as good as any outside Naples😀. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend

Went on a Friday night, it is small and was packed but they managed to squeeze us in. The other dinners seemed to be Italian which I guess is a good sign. Really enjoyed the food, the menu is small but just right. No disrespect to anything else but the bread was fantastic. They also have an opera singer which really added to the ambiance. Will go again

We decided to have a pre-theatre meal here and were persuaded by the waiter to try the day’s specials, we were not disappointed. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The only off note to our visit was when the very attentive waiter came with the bill. It was not the cost but rather it was the waiter attempting to persuade us that despite “service” being incorporated into bill we should also provide him with an additional “tip”. Had we been tourists we may have been coerced by his insistence, it left us metaphorically bruised and despite the excellent food unlikely to make a return visit.

This was the best meal we had in London…and all of where we visited in the UK. I’m not a big fish eater, but my husband and I decided to share the sea bass special. If all fish meals were like this one, I’d only eat fish. We also shared a pasta dish that was on par with my grandmother’s cooking. That says a lot. I wish we weren’t leaving tomorrow, because I would go back!

Lovely place! The staff are so friendly and the food was great. The opera singer was incredible, really passionate.

What a great night and we're still here enjoying great italian food, writing this review whislt listening to Krysia solo jazz singer amazing voice. Highly recommend booking!!

Incredible find! Food authentic and beautiful. Staff welcoming, accommodating, knowledgable and friendly. Lovely to have chef come out and make personal recs. Felt like I was in Italy. Best meal I’ve had in London a long time.

Great little restaurant near Borough tube station. Dinner on St. Valentine’s Day. Friendly, welcoming staff. Live cabaret singer providing some lovely background classic numbers. Excellent menu choices: we chose very generous cold hams/ cheese platter followed by pasta with rabbit sauce. Great atmosphere/ perfect evening!

Good food and livello atmosfera. Chef ist 100%% . Livello top!! Chef ist Great ottima cucina italiana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice, small place with interesting decor. We had broccoli soup, beef carpaccio and vegetarian pasta and everything was perfect. Very friendly service from Spanish waiter. Thank you so much for everything and see you soon

Great place, great food, great staff. Went here with my friends and had a lovely time. Highly recommend.

We wandered past and saw this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try....and I'm so pleased we did. Two of our party are coeliac and the chef came out to talk through what they could do gluten free (lots of options). The food was...

A little bit of Italy in Borough! The food is genuinely authentic, with daily specials always on slate. The food is cooked to order so super fresh, and served by attentive and friendly staff. The wine list is perfect, with a suitable wine to accompany...

Beautiful, tasty, classy, generous dishes. Relaxed and intimate atmosphere. A real treat for us to have this place on our doorstep!

The best fish stew ever. The sauce was delicious. An impressive portion. Simple surroundings. Lovely service. Great price. I would go back

A true piece of Italy in the Elephant and Castle district. With high quality Italian ingredients (only pasta di Gragnano or hand made) and the Italian cookery and warmth from Ciro and Stefano, this place will make you feel less nostalgic for the old country…glad...

Delicious food, amazing live opera, super evening! Ciro even kindly made a special dish for our daughter.

Staying nearby for business and couldn't get a delivery so ventured and found this little gem. Food excellent, lovely waitress, would really recommend this place for family dinners, meeting friends or just people watching if you're on your own. These independent restaurants are the lifeblood...

Me and my girlfriend went here yesterday (22/05) and it was without a doubt some of the nicest food we have ever had. I had one of the specials of the day (rigatoni w/ wild boar ragu) and she had a ravioli w/ crab and...

We had a wonderful Lamb ragout takeaway yesterday. So pleased Flavour of Naples is open again, their food is always a delight

I have now been to this restaurant on at least 6 occasions and we are never disappointed by the food. Always an enjoyable night with fantastic food. Such great flavours.

Off the beaten track, a delightful find, excellent Italian food. We arrived at just after 1 pm it was very quiet we timed it well it was soon busy. Authentic Italian cuisine.

We went to this restaurant couple of nights ago and despite I'm not the kind of person who write this kinda of review I felt that I had to. The atmosphere was really bad since the restaurant is really small (8 tables max) and we...

45 minute wait for seafood linguine - which as seafood had one piece of calamari and a prawn for decoration. Taste was fine - but overall poor value for money at £18.

Really attentive, courteous service at this local. Excellent lunch well priced (Ciro's salad recommended). Cannot fault the food or the service.

Sublime homemade ravioli! Amazing service. Said grace as thanks for such great food like my italian grandmother made.

Lovely italian restaurant with added entertainment. Food was lovely , a little bit salty, but that might be because I cook with very little salt. Delicious dessert, everything tastes fresh and the olive oil provided is very nice.

We stumbled upon this place one Saturday night and are so glad we did. Lovely little restaurant with super friendly staff, tasty food and fantastic atmosphere. We were even serenaded! Cannot recommend enough.

Outstanding food in a lovey small family feel restaurant. Food with specials were amazing and a live singer was an added special touch. Will return great experience!

Popped in for breakfast as a group of 4 - superb latte and the scrambled eggs with pancetta was superb.

Nice little gem of an Italian with a great selection of food and great service. On a very hot day I was almost tempted by the selection of specials but settled for a cooling but tasty salad. I’d go back anytime.

This was a corporate lunch order through the Deliveroo website. Firstly, the food is MASSIVELY over priced for what you get. The taste was poor, the quantity per portion was all over the place and the whole order wasn't even delivered. When I complained to...

I loved the food , atmosphere and staff, authentic homemade pasta, best experience in London ever. !

The food was absolutely amazing! One of the best pasta meals I have eaten in quite sometime. The service was also amazing! The waiter noticed I was chilled and he immediately closed the door for me. We didn’t try the dessert, only because we were...

Charming little restaurant, close to Shard, lovely staff , great atmosphere and food great value for money. As a bonus live singer made the night special after a theatre visit.

We hadn't visited for a year. Nothing has changed. The food is just excellent - quality, preparation and presentation, as is the service, great drinks selection and a lady singing excerpts from Operas. What could be better? A really great place for an excellent night...

We were very disappointed here. We ordered one of the four specials, to be told after 5 minutes that was not yet ready (at 6 pm on a Saturday!) we reordered and then waited nearly 4p minutes for a very indifferent meal. I had seafood...

Sometimes you just strike lucky. We picked out Flavours of Naples mainly for the location (a short walk from Southwark Playhouse) so really didn't deserve to eat as excellently as we did. The welcome was very friendly and the cooking was truly terrific. They produce...

We had dinner here before going to the Southwark Playhouse. I had read the reviews which were mostly very good. From the street the premises does not look very inspiring and we almost didn't go in. Inside is another matter entirely - delicious authentic food,...

This charming restaurant has the best Italian food I’ve ever had! The atmosphere and staff are fabulous.

Ordered a takeaway from this restaurant and was extremely disappointed with what I received, it should not have even left the kitchen. Note picture below

We were visiting London for the weekend and were looking for somewhere to book dinner that was a little different and off the beaten track. Following a search on Trip Advisor, this little Italian restaurant came highly recommended so we booked a table. After a...

Cute and authentic Italian with generous portions. Though the soup could have done with being a bit warmer, the main pasta dishes were hearty and delicious. Dessert was tasty too!

This is a little and cosy Italian restaurant with authentic flavours from Naples, simple menu very warm service good pastas.

I have eaten here before and the food is truly delicious. It is not fancy just like being in someones hone with lots of lovely good Italian food, The portions are generous I had a lasagne with a side salad nd dome bread. At £9.00...

If you want white plates with small portions and immaculate service this is not the place for you! It’s the sort of Italian that has been edged out by chains and rising rents, but has somehow survived that reminds you of a local place in...

Really impressed with the food, service and entertainment here this evening. The menu is carefully put together and I would happily have chosen any of the options. The Wild Boar Papperdelle from the specials menu was delicious. Towards the end of our meal a fantastic...

The only Italian restaurant where you can eat pizza and defrost. For having worked there I advise against

Unfortunately after receiving the confirmation of your booking email, when we arrived at the restaurant there was no table for us. The error was blamed an another member of staff not there. Really poor service that left 3 of us stranded looking for food late...

We popped in before going to the Southwark Playhouse. Food was great and home cooked. Service was friendly and helpful. Very nice little restaurant. We live near London Bridge so I'm sure we will return!

Flavours of Naples is a small Italian gem on Borough High Street within easy walking distance from London Bridge Station and close to Southwark Playhouse. The chef does a great job creating ‘home cooked’ taste in a tiny kitchen and the team provides friendly efficient...

Lovely home cooking with live opera on a Friday night. Very welcoming and good fun. The best aubergine parmigiana I have eaten. The cheese board was enough for two and even the bread and olives were just that bit different and excellent. Strongly recommend but...

We have all been in restaurants or pubs where you feel they are doing you a favour by serving you? - see some of my other reviewslol - well, this is just the opposite. Gnuine, friendly welcome, marvellous food, unpretentious and lively atmosphere. Found this...

An unpretentious exterior for a delightful restaurant. The menu is not extensive but an extensive menu is generally rather a bad sign anyway. The service was friendly, the prices reasonable, the food was delicious and the background music was perfect too. I go to the...

We walked into this small restaurant near by our rental flat . The food is so authentic, just like those We had in Italy ! The home made beef ravioli is mouth watering , the pasta is like “ grand mom’s food” , the desert...

It was a small menu! Everything were fresh and we really enjoyed it! Service a bit slow! Very good price for value. There was a singer that was rather too loud for us:/

Possibly one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Fresh Italian ingredients imported from Italy, served with a smile and topped off with a delicious number of pastries and superb coffee. What more could you want?! I highly recommend the Contadina Salad. Smoked mozzarella,...

This small restaurant located on a non -touristic street/area deserve that you make a stop. The manager, Ciro, is a nice guy. The chief in the kitchen is a master of pasta cooking. We took a plate of antipasti as a startet, and madone.... it...

Real food with real ingredients south Italy hospitality. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the decor the food is most excellent. One of the group said it was just like in Rome ,but the Naples flair made it better. Portions hearty,choice range good but...

I had a wonderful seafood linguini. I cannot complain about the food at all. It was just wonderful. A very small restaurant with an intimate setting. Perfect for our double date. We popped in on a whim after a theatre experience in the local area....

spontaneously dropped in for lunch looking for a tasty bite and had a delicious cold salad for myself and pasta for my colleague. delicious and thank you. Ian S

Had a three course meal here, incredible fritto misto of calamari, prawns and salmon wth vegetables. Lovely wine. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. They have these wonderful opera nights with a live opera singer, 3 course menu and it was very enjoyable. Top quality food...

In tourism trip in London we are going to This restorant without informations A very good cosy ambience fresh and very good food. Friendly services Very good adress

Fought the bitter cold weather of last night to have dinner at Flavours of Naples. I was craving for Aubergine Parmigiana and I knew that they would not fail. I have been coming to this restaurant now for a while and I can always count...

Flavours of Naples happens to be our neighbourhood local but if it weren't we'd travel across London to eat there. I've lived in London (north and south) for 30 years, and can't think of another restaurant that feels so much like dining in your Italian...

Booked Flavour of Naples for a networking dinner after a training course and the next day received a round of applause from the delegates - everyone was best pleased with the quality and the quantity of the food. It is a very small place but...

Looks very simple from outside but the quality of the food is excellent. Walk in and you could really be in a trattoria in the heart of Naples. Good quality Burrata and cold meats as an antipasto, followed by amazing pasta... both the linguine with...

This is a gem of an Italian restaurant. The food is amazing, the staff are great and the coffee is the best in Borough!!! We ❤️flavours of Naples!

Really nice food, everything is home made, even the pasta ! The tiramisu was excellent and the tenant was really welcoming.

Lunch at this restaurant was truly delicious. From the outside it looks like a straightforward cafe but don't be fooled. The cuisine is delicious southern Italian. The staff are helpful and friendly. Altogether a great experience.

Found myself staying over on business and booked into a hotel by London Bridge. Wanting to avoid the bustle of Borough Market I wandered down towards Southwark and stumbled on this wee place. It's very authentic and with the informality of a cafe. Lovely warm...

Want a wonderful local restaurant close to Borough market (but without its prices!) or just up the road from the Southwark Playhouse - then this is for you. Traditional Italian dishes, freshly prepared, and lovingly served by charming and pleasant staff. My wife had a...

All I ask for is a good coffee in the morning and a proper bowl of pasta for lunch or dinner. How hard can it be? Well, there are lots of amazing places in Borough High Street where you can get this sort of service...

Staff was very careful and the place tide and clean.The food it was lovely and super delicious . Ciro (the owner) was very friendly and always talk with us

All I got was a coffee and both members of staff striked a conversation with me and were very friendly. They explained to me the dishes they have and made recommendations. I will definitely be coming back for more! highly recommended

Unpretentious restaurant with small menu. However, the food is exceptional; it tastes home cooked and is very flavoursome and well presented. The pastas are lovely, and the ribeye steak is the best steak we have had for years! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The...

Be at flavours of Naples is always a jump back home for me, the great friend of mine Ciro and his staff are always lovely people to spend a night with. Today i went there once again and a had an awesome wildboar tagliatelle, truly...

Almost missed it as we thought it was just a cafe. Really good genuine Italian food staffed by Italians. Great service. Really good value, and so close to the Southwark Playhouse theatre so it's ideally placed for a pre-theatre meal. Yes, they're really quick if...

On our way back from brilliant play at Southwark Playhouse (The Islands) have come across this wonderful little Italian restaurant. Lovely warm and friendly staff (thank you Meirielly!) and delicious food full of flavour and reasonably priced particularly for this area. The menu changes daily....

Charming restaurant with a small bar in the middle.. You can have a really good meal or just some coffee or a drink. It's really a peace of Italy in London. Drink the sparkling Italian water, it's incredible!!!

In search of some Italian food, we left the over populated Mercato Metropolitano and were delighted to find Flavours of Naples. Beautiful buffalo mozzarella to begin with followed by delicious spinach&ricotta cannelloni and tasty squid. And best of all, the unexpected performance from a mezzo-soprano!...

What a great find this place was! We went here on a recommendation and we weren't disappointed... Coming from an Italian family I know good Italian good and this place has oodles of great authentic dishes! In our party of 6 some had salads, lasagnes,...

We have recently been to this little gem on a Friday evening: this is not just a restaurant, this is an "opera d'arte"! This is a cosy Italian restaurant, where people can enjoy not only the genuine food, such as carpaccio beef, carpaccio salmon, pappardelle...

This local restaurant is consistently good, serving tasty Italian home cooking with very fresh ingredients and great coffee The staff are lovely and friendly and it's always a pleasure to eat here You can also buy pasta, sauces and oils on the shelves There is...

Feels very authentic. I have been there a few times for quick and uncomplicated dinners and have bought cured meats or panini from the deli before. The selection is simple but interesting, the cuisine is great. Staff is really friendly and knows nearly every guest...

Awesome food and service. A real taste of Italy in London. The range and quality is second to none!!!

This place is right next door to my dentist. I don't go here very often but when I do I enjoy strong coffee and Italian cake that I've never seen anywhere else. The staff are very friendly and you can sit outside. I can't vouch...

I been very happy to eat the traditional food of this place, it remind me the traditional cousin of my mother mixed with the innovation of London . I defnitely recomend

I ordered a take away through deliver and when I received the food I thought there was a mistake. The Parmigiana was ok, but the Ciro's salad was not very good, not sure about the freshness of its products. The worst wha the Cannolo Siciliano!...

Nice cosy place; the food is ok. nothing out of this world but good for a quick lunch or dinner. I went there 2-3 times so far so i guess that means its ok and in a convenient location- just not great.
