Italian Bistro in Lambeth

Fantastic pizza. Amazing value for money. Great service. Cafe culture, with authentic flavours and a great vibe. Go! Enjoy! Well done Italian Bistro.

Impressed. We had a birthday party at a nearby pub and needed some pizzas for a bunch of kids and were let down at the last minute so had to order (and collect) from Italian Bistro. The pizzas were ready on time. Very good value for money. Very tasty and the garlic bread had a well judged amount of garlic and the pizzas were excellent. All in all thank you - will use you for takeaways in future though we want to try Brava Ragazzi as well.

Hands down the best pizza - and incredible lunch time deals. Have been going back here multiple times a month. Staff are always lovely too

Ambiente pulito e personale gentile si va in un posto che si mangia italiano e se gli parli in italiano ti rispondono in italiano questo e’ bello

Just cannot recommend this place more. Gorgeous food and beautifully made. So, so helpful, and family friendly. We always know this restaurant is pleased to see us and that we will LOVE the experience.

One of the best Pizza’s that I have had in the UK. As close as you can get to a pizza from Naples. Fresh ingredients bring this to life after going into the wood burning oven. Very tasty and will be going back very soon.

Arrived early. It was a very quaint looking but fairly quiet Italian restaurant to meet our cousins from London. They recommended the place and boy where they right. We were not rushed even though the restaurant filled up while we were there. Spent a couple of hours eating appetizers and finishing off our lunch with one of the best tasting pizzas we had in London and the prices were fantastic (if you don't mind spice try the Diabolo). For a local family run wonderful dining experience, I can highly recommend the Italian Bistro. Well worth hunting it out as it is a little bit away from the center of London.

We came as a group of 7. Meal was wonderful - great menu selection - everyone was happy with their meal from teens to grandma. Service was fantastic - even my mom-in-law had a great time. Liked the new cocktail glasses. Highly recommended.

First time visit and really impressed with the authentic Pizza’s which were as near perfect as you would get in Italy. The ingredients such as the San Marzano tomatoes really made the taste buds zing. We will definitely be going back again soon.

Lovely atmosphere, very delicious pizza and good service . I’ll be definitely back . Highly recommend

Ordered a delivery via Uber eats possibly the worst meal I have ever had the misfortune to receive !! The dough balls were not even cooked and the lasagne was disgusting no cheese sauce at all and freezing cold had better from Tesco !! Avoid at all costs

Lovely place. Extremely reasonable, great food, nice atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again!

Amazing pizza, great pasta andike smashed tomates woth egg on toast. Large cocktails - just wonderful for sunny Friday.

What a great find for lunch. This is a true family run restaurant serving great value for money food. The pizza was tasty and delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked al dente style. Fresh juices were delicious and made to order. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. The owner even got out the lemoncello at the end of the meal for us to try.

Came here for a farewell trip with friends and it was a great evening - even though there was a large table of us we were looked after brilliantly and the food was great too, would definitely come back here again in future!

My partner and I have eaten at Italian Bistro many times, both dining in and take-out. The food is always delicious, it’s great service, and the manager/owner is warm and has always made us feel very welcome. It feels like a family-run business because you can tell that he wants everyone to have a really nice evening. There’s lots of food options, we’re vegan and the vegan pizzas and starters we’ve tried have all been amazing, they always add on extra bits that they know will taste good too! 5 stars, we love it and it’s our fave in the area.

I came in on Saturday (05/02/22) approximately 5:45pm, and was seated by the manager I believe. As he had walked off, me and my two sisters wanted to move seats given we were by the door and did so. When the manager had returned and saw that we had moved, he aggressively said "I decide where you sit, you don't" without giving us an opportunity to speak. Due to his rude aggressive response we decided to leave and as we were exiting my sister said to him that he did not need to be so rude about it. This was followed with further aggression, he then came in close proximity with my face and continued to be so rude. He then told us "Go, leave" and "Shut up". This man's behaviour was completely unprovoked and his rage did not match the situation at hand. Nobody in the restaurant said anything to him of course and instead just silently watched as he shouted. I honestly wonder whether he would have hit me if we had stayed in the restaurant any longer. I see most of the reviews are quite good however, that may be down to the food rather than the customer service which was frankly outrageous.

My sisters and I came to this restaurant for dinner. We walked in and wanted to sit at a different table than what was offered. The place was not busy only a few other people. We couldn’t get the attention of the manager so sat at a different table. The manager aggressively put the water down and said you don’t get to pick where u sit I do. We sat contemplating for 10 minutes whether we should stay after an hostile encounter from the MANAGER. We decided to leave and before doing so said to the manager that is no way to speak to customers. He ended up ‘shewing’ us out and telling us to shut up. He also got into our faces EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVELY and said what are you going to do, call the police. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. EXTREMELY DISGUSTING AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR FROM THE MANAGER. CANNOT BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE RUNNING RESTAURANTS.

We made an order on Uber Eats and got the wrong pizza delivered. However when we called up about the mistake they offered us 2 free pizzas to apologise. We went to collect the 2 pizzas a few weeks later and although it was a...

Do not order anything from the menu apart from the wine. Pizza was inconsistent some bits with no cheese and some with no tomato sauce and ingredients were not as stated on the menu. Calamari was cold and horrible with ‘homemade batter’ on the fried...

The bar looks quality, the staff are super efficient and the pizzas are cooked in a traditional wood fire. Infact the pizzas are so good you just cant stop eating them. The fact that this place is always busy tells you something.

Good service, friendly and helpful staff. Although terrible food. It was not what I excepted from the menu, definitely not Italian.

We were looking for somewhere to eat and this came up on an internet search. We booked a table online and within the hour we were sitting at the table. Very welcoming, friendly staff and reasonably priced cooked to order food. We would definitely come...

Visited for Streatham Festival, stayed for offer and glad we did. Lovely owner and great pizzas. Fantastic that this is our local pizzeria and surprised that they don't have a bigger profile in the area

This was a very good find and the food was very good. I have to take one star off because the food is incredibly salty but apart from that there is nothing wrong. We will be ordering again!

I live close to here and went before lockdown and it was really nice so decided to come back for my first meal out since the restrictions were eased. I felt the place was extremely clean and people were well separated. The service was great,...

Just ordered (and devoured) 2 truly delicious pizzas for takeaway as a weekend treat, one diavola and one signora with extra tomato sauce. I’m an nhs worker with photo ID and this business truly values us as indicated by their discount. Even after Coronavirus I...

The food is excellent and at a very reasonable price. You can order or eat in, both are great. Try the pizza, pasta, desserts or sides and you will be very pleased!

Italian Bistro is my favourite Italian in London, probably in the UK! The staff are wonderful and so accommodating and the food is unbelievable. I came with my friends for my birthday in February, after having told them all how great it is, and the...

I haven't been to Italy for about 6 years, but after having this pizza it was like I was back. I accidentally walked into this place thinking it was the restaurant beside, however I am so glad I made the mistake! The server was charismatic,...

Myself & my partner have tasted many pizzas within the UK, especially in London. We both have several Italian friends who have tasted and rated pizzas with us. We had both visited Italy the week before finally visiting Italian Bistro in Streatham and tried the...

If you re looking to try the proper Italian pizza this is the right place to go! My boyfriend and I have been dining here couple of times already and the food and the staff never disappointed us.

I came with a group of friends and was so impressed with my vegan pizza. Being vegan sometimes means feeling left out, but my pizza was delicious. Great food, wonderful service and a very reasonable price too. I will definitely be back.

My daughter and I were looking for somewhere to have dinner in Streatham, came across this very unassuming restaurant and discovered a little gem. Great food and friendly personal service. In my fifty plus years I've had a lot of pizza, in a lot of...

We love this place. Delicious food and a versatile choice of pizza and pasta. Proper italian fresh ingredients and lovely atmosphere. The staff is treating you like the part of their family. The place lockated on the high street, however, the price is very afordable....

My wife and I shared a couple starters, which were excellent (I recommend the mozzarella and cure meats, it's enormous) with a couple glasses of wine and shared a main. The meal was excellent value and the atmosphere was brilliant, topped off with attentive and...

We visited this restaurant mid week (afternoon) for a friends birthday lunch. We were very warmly greeted-ordered our drinks and food and were given some chips and mayo whilst waiting-the waiter RANIERO was very attentive and made us feel so welcome. The food was extremely...

This sour dough pizza is some of the best I have ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough. It is great value for money as well.

Visited the restaurant for the second time in April 19 after a previous visit in November. Amazing pizza on both occasions and such good value - two huge pizzas, an aperol spritz and a beer for £24! Doesn't get the custom it deserves.

I went for a meal with a friend. The restaurant is on the main street so easy to find and get to. Food was delicious and even though the night we went was relatively quiet it had a lovely ambience.

This is the reincarnation of Azzurri. The pizzas are amazing - light and fluffy sourdough bases and interesting toppings. Extremely good value too.

What an amazing restaurant! Lovely fresh food , very friendly service and a wonderful atmosphere. The owner was extremely attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

This understated restaurant, adjacent to a chain pizza house, is an independent gem. Strangers to the district , we examined the menu outside and decided it was just what we wanted at prices we could afford, not always the case in London. We shared deep...

Me and my family came here on Christmas eve for an easy meal. The pizzas were delicious and the service was amazing. Friendly & hospitable, I would 100% recommend if you're looking for a quick bite to eat!

Heading to Pizza Express on Streatham High Road, we passed the Italian Bistro next door and thought we'd give it a go. I can't recommend it enough - we had delicious tomato bruschetta and calamari (and the best courgette fries), and then pizzas which I...

Fantastic service and fabulous delicious food. Found by chance will definitely return. What a find! x

This place is great!! Would highly recommend choosing here over the pizza express next door!! We had delicious pizza and bruschetta and it is very good value.

I popped in to get food to take away for some family members. Had pizza, salad, chicken milano and fries. All tasty, well-presented and great value for money. The staff were welcoming and really wen the extra mile by making sure the food was well-wrapped...
