Italian taste cafe in Kingston upon Thames

wow!....spotless and bright with reasonable prices for a London coffee shop. I was at the unattended laundry close by and needed change. graciously given change and 2 cookies with my (HOT) latte while I waited for the clothes dryer. I will be back for sure and I thank the owners for their hospitality on a very cold, wet London day....

Local informal Italian cafe/restaurant. Past and Panini.

Excellently run Italian in the centre of Surbiton. Great selection of reasonably priced wines, and the food is always top notch.

Terrible service, elderly man slams food plate on the other side of the table, wouldn’t even expect that treatment in prison being served a meal. Have been to funerals with more cheerful atmosphere. Certainly won’t be returning ever!

Owner with Pony Tail Shouted at me when Food tasted Expired - "I am Owner, You are just a Poor Customer". Shut this Arrogant Owner Down! I was left Crying :(

My favourite place to go during lunch break with very friendly staffs. Highly exceptional service!

great for uni students, cheap, great for takeaways and dine in. staff are really lovely too!!

Nice small place with good pasta, it's homemade and the owners are lovely! The price is also good, great for students.

Від італійського, тільки усміхнена пані і назва закладу. Сеньйор взагалі злий не привітний, хам, і не відомо що він там робить, виглядає наче відчуває там кару.

Staff were so friendly and nice, and food was very tasty!

I went in here with my Mum and it's such a lovely little place. There is tons on the menu, lots of great homemade dishes and breakfasts, and huge choice of cakes. Very reasonable prices. The owner was also so lovely, saying that my Mum (who is in her eighties) could go and sit in there anytime without a pressure to buy anything. It really is a great cafe.

I have been getting my lunch from this cafe for 4 years - all through my undergraduate degree and now on my MSc course. I specifically went there for lunch today as a treat to celebrate a good grade I just received (that’s how delicious the food is!) I got an egg mayonnaise sandwich on white bread and I think it might be the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten! Doesn’t get any fresher then watching the server peel the eggs to make the egg mayo! Everything I have eaten in there is delicious, the interior is absolutely beautiful, especially since they had a revamp, and the staff are always polite, helpful and quick with their service! I never write reviews but this place 100% deserves it!

I got the special lobster tortellini and tiramisu amazing food!!

A hidden gem. Cosy, friendly, spotlessly clean wonderful friendly staff. Coffee and food very good too.

Really dry bacon the staff doesnt really get engaged with customers they don't talk they don't smile looks like they not happy to be there

The breakfast was quite good and so were the cakes.

I honestly had one of the best pasta in my life in your shop. I would like to say Thankyou very much for your service and for looking after me. You’ve made the experience very special for me. Best customer service and a homely atmosphere. Looking forward to eat at your shop again

Avoid. Asked for a simple jacket potato - arrived 30 mins later despite the cafe not being busy. What was worse was that it was rock hard in the middle, cold and overpriced. Won’t eat here again.

A wonderfully warm and welcoming place with tasty food and friendly service

Lovely service and homely atmosphere. I had the avocado toast and a latte -- both were nice and comforting. The owners are incredibly kind and have amazing senses of humour. Would certainly recommend for any students looking to have something to eat after classes.

Amazing place, amazing good and amazing service! The prices are really cheap and the portions plentiful!

Quiet place where you can eat your breakfast, pasta and drink a good coffee.

Let’s just say…I will never go back to this cafe. Horrible experience! If I could I would not even give it one star.

The service and food was incredible. Great prices aswell 😊

Good quantity of servings and very friendly staff

Thaaanks a lot you made my day, as Great atmosphere, Amazing service, delicious food and drinks and I totally recommend this place to everyone.

I am a Uni student and have been to this place few times , the ladies at the counter are friendly but there is a man with a pony , he is very rude and unfriendly . He needs to attend a good customer service skills course

The food was very nice and affordable, the staff was so nice and helpful

Great staff, and lovely food. Affordable for students!

Best club sandwich I've ever eaten! So lovely speaking to the owner who seems extremely proud of his restaurant (as he should be) and was very keen to tell us all about his future plans for the place. There is also a lovely seating area out the back! Will definitely be back to try the homemade lasagne which looked amazing.

Really nice food and friendly staff

I’ve only been in this cafe twice in the last 6 months but both times the male owner has been rude and aggressive. The first time I walked out because he told me off for closing the door in winter when I was the only customer there, and was really pedantic and rude during conversation. The 2nd time I visited, he was shouting at the staff. Customers don’t want to hear that and it’s wrong anyway. It’s a shame because the food is excellent and the other staff are lovely. In summary, don’t give this man your custom, he is toxic and I fear for his staff/family.

Below average food Most of the items in the menu not available. Service not satisfactory

Extremely disrespectful restaurant owner and bad food. Although we ordered pasta in an Italian restaurant, they brought us a soup-like dish, and it tasted awful. After that, the manager, who thought that the smell of weed coming from the outside came from us, spoke to us with racist gestures, walked over us, do not visit this restaurant.

The restaurant owner’s behavior extremely rude for us, he shout us like a crazy. Bad foods, terrible services and poor quality employees. Already reported to the police, also we will report another places related to food industry. I hope this place close soon. no one deserves extremely rude behavior.

I love it but kinda agree with the prices is very expensive or otherwise I'll be going here everyday is that good!

Beautiful Italian coffee shop. Lovely morning listening to their music. The lady was so friendly. So glad I was too early for the shop to be open otherwise I would never of stopped in here.

I've been going to this café on and off for 10 years and it's seen a lot of changes in that time, the breakfast used to be a lot bigger and cost a lot less than it does now and at the current prices I won't be going back. At nearly £10 for a traditional breakfast and a coffee almost double what it used to cost it now no longer equates to good value for money which is a shame as the owners are very nice. You can get a lot more for a lot less and the same quality food ( BREAKFAST) at the Sunshine café on Tolworth Broadway. A sad day indeed but goodbye from a once loyal happy customer. PS The food at this café is good if you're happy to pay the prices, I'm not.

Lovely friendly staff, good service, good food and very reasonable.

Have been going here off and on for 10 years. I went in after nearly 2 years and they still remembered me. Food is good and plenty of options. Recommend!

Pizza: tasty but way too small for the price Pasta: bland Salad: weak and watery

Cute little cafe, lovely veggie breakfast and great staff :)

Lovely little find, pleasant survive, excellent value for money

Great place for morning breakfast and coffe

Just had lunch with my sister and the food was very tasty! I had a spicy chicken panini which was recommended by the lovely man who works there and my sister had the meatballs which she loved! If your looking for good tasty food with a great service look no further. Just to add they have a lovely area to eat out back so I’ll be sitting there on my next visit!!!

Picked up a Mocha with my daughter, the lady serving was very friendly and approachable. I would recommend and visit again. Thank you!

Very rude staff, I cancelled the order and left

Best food and best service. Always a warm welcome. Homemade bakes are irresistible !!

Im extremely sorry as I posted this review under wrong cafe. I've been at your place once and the food was so delicious. Thank you!

Friendly service. Delicious Panini. Good price too. Recommended!

Excellent customer service, we celebrated a meeting with 15 people and the staff was so kind we us and all the coffees was perfect, thank you

Great home made lasagne and friendly owner

We were working outside his shop last night, and the kind owner offered us free drinks, in my book that deserves a 5 star rating

Great cafe for some breakfast/brunch/lunch, the sandwiches are pretty tasty and breakfast options are good. The coffee here tastes great too. They have good breakfast and lunch deals served with a hot/cold drink for a decent price. The staff here are also super lovely!

Simply the best food around town !!!!

Always the best coffee ! Just delicious and so many options to choose from. A nice and cosy place. Just lovely

Best omelette ever and wonderful bread

Such a hidden gem! Wonderful food for so cheap. I couldn't believe i was still in London

Lovely food, friendly staff. Would recommend!

Lovely buttery toast served with our food. Extras clearly marked on the board but menu board crowded so not clear. Food tasty and atmosphere relaxed.

Hearty food, brilliant service and a lovely atmosphere to be in. Perfect for students as well!!!!

Yummy food, good music, great staff

Nice family run cafe. Very friendly and accomodating owners.food was good and coffees were fresh!

I really enjoyed the salad with fried chicken. I often go and eat there because staffs are joyful and the place looks clean. They provide wonderful customer service.

Very delicious food, large portion sizes. Good for hangovers

Small family run cafe with a good selection of food. Great place for breakfast or lunch. Offers probably the best sandwiches you can get locally to eat in or take away.

My local cafe to work, absolutely amazing service, staff are all very friendly, everything done with a warm friendly smile! All the food has a homemade taste to it and the menu has a great selection of wide ranging food. Highly recommended!

Great food, great toasts! Very affordable prices, highly recommend it!:)

Truly authentic Italian cafe !! They serve great food and staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely the best cafe I’ve been to. Must visit 👍🏼 Highly recommended !!!!!!

I'm a student from Kingston University and I've recently been visiting this cafe. The English Breakfast meal was simple but delicious,the portion size was great and the staffs were always quite friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and if you're a student , they offer discounts as well.

I come to this cafe every weekday during my break, as I study at the University. Aunty and Uncle always look after me and my friends. Highly recommend this place as the food is delicious and the staff are welcoming and friendly! 10/10

Amazing food one of the best places I’ve been to if not the best. Very friendly and welcoming people, I really enjoyed my time and I would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Amazing food at a great price, with very friendly service

Don’t go there, service was so so so bad, hygiene and food was even worse. Someone had recommended this place to me so I listened and went. I was treated so badly, ignored and was kept waiting for a long time. I was spoken to so rudely. Not to mention the food is overpriced for the portion size! They left pasta out in bowls for a long time, uncovered and I saw fruit flies in the glass window (to which they proceeded to warm in the microwave and serve on a plate) I deffo would advise never to go there.

Horrible customer service, staff were disgustingly rude, would not recommend. Only go there if you want to waste your money, eat overpriced, dry and unseasoned food and want to be ignored and not served.

Amazing + cheap food and the staff are super friendly would definitely recommend!

Great little cafe, very friendly and welcoming staff / owners, and good food.

A hidden gem, the breakfast is always delicious and amazing value. And as strange as it may sound the toast is really good!

The food is amazballs and the staff are accommodating

love the restaraunt! Very fast service and friendly staff!!

Great traditional Italian café. Fabulous food for the hungry and a nice atmosphere. A taste of old London that I remember.

great food, really nice staff!!

Italian taste is a great place to go to during lunch for delicious and cheap food

Great food!! Lovely service as well, the people were so nice. Highly recommend :)

Fantastic customer service and the food is amazing! I will be coming back again!

I eat in or get my lunch from here about 3-4 times a week and after trying most of the other local eateries I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Fantastic value for money, delicious food and lovely people that run it. Would highly recommended one of their pasta salads if you are hungry!

Great food, great service, great people. Definitely coming back !!!

Tasty Italian food，nice service，good atmosphere， everything is great.
