Really enjoyed our meal at this fun neighbourhood place. From the outside it looks nice enough but inside its really lovely, plenty of space but also not too big. The food is really fantastic, we had baked mushrooms, Greek salad, lasagnati, sage and butter ravioli, and cheesecake for dessert. The wine, especially the dessert wine, was great. Can't fault the service either, really friendly. Great little place.

Friends of Flavours is a charming Italian restaurant in Penge. We had such tasty food this evening: goats cheese salad with raspberry dressing and walnuts and baked mushrooms in Gorgonzola sauce served with garlic bread to start. Our mains were incredible - the Lasagnati (with beef Bolognese cream, Mozzarella & Parmigiano) and Ravioli spinach and ricotta in butter, Parmesan and sage sauce - were really beautiful plates of food. Dessert - the Bruno cheesecake - was so creamy and delicious and the dessert wine sublime. Service was very professional and charming and I really enjoyed the music too - a great evening.

Cute restaurant off main Penge High Street. My Milanese chicken was great - huge piece of chicken in a crispy batter. Delicious. But I wasn’t so keen on the linguini with cherry tomatoes as the tomato skins remained in the sauce. Hub enjoyed the pollo cacciatore which was again huge. For big eaters.

The food is divine and filling... I enjoyed every bite... 👒 off to the chef Unfortunately the service was intense. Sitting at the front i found restaurant is quite small and the staff just stared at us, which I found awkward especially while eating, it was very uncomfortable, as well as the lady making a discussion based around paying the tips. I think people fail to realise as much as prices are going up as a customer I do not have to pay extra for the service by choice. Its not to be discussed, its quite insulting. I'd appreciate paying for what I have ordered. The staff were pleasant but I found the experience uncomfortable. But to be fair I'd return to the restaurant for the food and hope for a more smooth relaxed experience in future 😌 The Kids Ate It All which is definitely a PLUS ➕

Used to be much better place. Not sure... Maybe the owner on management changed, but from one of the best Italian restaurant in the area they went to average i would say. Food it's still good but not as great as used to. Service from super friendly and chatty went to again average. Can't say that it was bad experience but we used to really enjoy visiting that place. Our last visit wasn't that welcoming in my opinion. Hopefully it was just a one time situation and our next visit will be as good at it used to

In my experience, the food superb, atmosphere okay, service poor. So, putting some meat on the bones, arrived at 7:30 and drinks,starters and mains all done by 8:10. Hadn't even sat down and taken our coats off and we were asked what drinks we wanted. Starters and mains literally asked for within 5 mins of arrival. We were hoping to celebrate our daughter's new job but we felt rushed out the door. Maybe we will try again, the food was amazing though.

We first came to this restaurant back in 2014 and 2015 and we both really enjoyed our visits - not sure why we haven't come back until now. Can't say if there are new owners as we don't remember but we do know the interior has changed. It's lovely and bright! Last night we ordered from the specials menu. Superb. The tempura crab was delightful, visually it is something I've not seen before so if you see it on the menu you must try it😀 Our mains and dessert were really good too, Ravioli and steamed Sea Bass followed by pannecote and tiramisu. Service was good albeit a little too quick for our liking but that's a personal preference! Having said that, we were in no way made to feel hurried out once we had finished eating and so stayed a couple of hours. Our waiters were very friendly. I would say the pricing is fair. Although it's not cheap the quality of the food justifies the pricing (I've paid more elsewhere for similar food). Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Arrived at the restaurant when it was less than 50% full without a reservation. Someone clearly having a bad day said nothing apart from ‘no… no’ whilst shaking his head at us. We then left and walked way from the restaurant. The other staff realising the situation came running out after us saying we could eat there but by that stage we didn’t feel much like eating at this establishment. Sort out your customer service.

A second visit to this restaurant. Enjoyed both times. The italian dishes are very good. Service was good, although they gave my friend the wrong prawn dish for starters, but it was changed quite quickly. My linguine main course was quite substantial. The wine list is good and we enjoyed two bottles of the falanghina, which was very drinkable. The cost was just over £150 for 3, including service.

*change in service levels as noted by other reviewers* I regularly come to this restaurant, at least once a month and often bring new friends as the food has always been consistent, reasonably priced and the service pleasing. However, during the last visit with my friend on a Thursday we received unusual service from one particular waiter (short with shaved head). The restaurant was not even half full so it wasn't a typical busy night here. We were seated at the table we had booked but the table was sprayed and cleaned while we sat there (not pleasant having disinfectant sprayed near the face!). Despite ordering mains and a good priced bottle of wine between us, we sensed the waiter was unhappy when we didn't order dessert, however, we had planned to order more wine to the table. This did not happen because he put the bill on our table (even though we hadn't requested this) and chased us up to pay. It was very odd as other diners were still eating and the restaurant was still open for another hour. We didn't understand why we were rushed to pay and leave. While waiting by the door for our uber (to keep warm) we heard him complaining about us in Italian to a colleague, hearing the word "rude" several times but unable to make out the rest. It is such a terrible shame that one waiter has affected repeat business from a loyal customer of 4 years. He made us feel unwelcome and sadly we won't be returning again. I am leaving 2 stars instead of 1 for the hard working chefs behind the scenes who delivered good food.

We had a meal on a Saturday night. Service was very friendly and welcoming. The menu without being extensive had a broad variety of options and the wine list was equally good - we had a nice quality bottle of red. Our food came quickly - garlic bread and olives to start followed by 2 raviolis and the sea bass special. Presentation and taste were all to a high standard and we very much enjoyed all dishes. We had a tirimisu for dessert which is my husband's favorite and it did not disappoint, it both looked and tasted amazing. We worked out that it was approx £35 a head which considering the great ambiance, service, food and drink, was exceptional value. The team are doing a wonderful job with this little gem of a restaurant and I can't wait to go back for another meal soon. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Me and my partner visited your restaurant for my birthday as we have a few times. We love the food so much but unfortunately our experience this time was bad. Yes we understand the restaurant was busy and we were patient and waiting 45 mins for our starter even when 1 was forgotten. Wrong drinks were given and waited even longer for mains. We did not complain at all. At the end when paying, we mentioned we are not prepared to pay the service charge which was between £5 - £10. Our bill came to £55 without the service charge which we were happy to pay. The server proceeded to tell us to never come back and was EXTREAMLY RUDE! Even after paying £55 and having poor service I couldn't believe it. Completely ruined my birthday dinner. Such a shame as I loved the food.

Was there tonight with my son. I will start with the good news. Food was lovely. Calves liver cooked to perfection. Lasagnati had perfect pasta and great flavour. Now the bad news. Lasagnati came with added plastic!! Waiter placed in serviette to take to kitchen. Chef said probably cling film but thickness of plastic suggested food packaging. Serviette not replaced. Son dropped spoon, waiter did not offer to replace. I asked for bread for mopping up remainder of calves liver sauce, crostini arrived. When finished, plates collected but oily table not cleaned. I cleaned myself with one remaining used serviette. When bill came, the crostini was not charged for, in recognition of plastic in food. I said I would not be paying for Lasagnati or service. These were removed from bill and crostini cost reinstated. The service was poor at best but plastic wrapping in food is plain dangerous. How they think they can still charge for this dish is beyond me. I won't be returning and I would not recommend to anyone else, purely based on service, not food as this was tasty

It was an incredible experience after having been let down immensely by fish union they went out of their way to accommodate us and our 2 babies in the pram for our fust mother day. So service 10/5 food had great presentation and exceptional tast3 maintaining Italian character and combining it with British element. The manager Christos and all the staff made our experience amazing helping before we even asked. A nice selection of Italian wines as well!! Would definitely recommend!!!
