L'affamato in Elmbridge

Just had a lovely evening with friends in this very friendly local Italian - great choices on the menu (lots of things I would like to try), super attentive and friendly staff, and we all had delicious meals. The pizzas were excellent - lots of toppings and tasty dough. Nice wine too. I will be coming back soon!

É sempre nossa primeira opção quando estamos em Londres. Já fomos inúmeras vezes e é sempre maravilhoso! Atendimento nota 10!

Had a lovely birthday meal here after hearing great things from locals about this restaurant. I have been meaning to visit here for quite some time but am glad to say the restaurant lived up to it’s reputation. The menu had a great selection and offered some different options from the usual Italian menu choices, but still appears to do the classics very well. I can definitely recommend the Saltimbocca (Veal wrapped in Prosciutto and Sage) everyone at the table was equally as impressed with their choices all the plates looked delicious. Pizzas in particular ! The service was great, very polite and friendly and the staff were genuinely interested of what we though of our meals. I would recommend booking as it does seem to be busy of an evening despite being quiet when we turned up initially - unsurprising as it is a popular go to for many. I am glad I finally got around to visiting here and would certainly recommend to Italian foodie fans.

This beautiful restaurant serves excellent fresh Italian food. The seafood risotto was delicious! Highly recommend it!

Will not allow a baby and pram into the restaurant!

This is such a lovely restaurant. The food is great and servers are lovely. They have even done a great job of decorating. BUT why do they insist on having bright lights shining so you feel like you’re in a canteen? This restaurant is on our doorstep and we would go all the time but the atmosphere is diluted by these canteen style lights. They still seam to get busy so it obviously doesn’t bother everyone but I wish they would change it so we could go there more often

Freshly made, piping hot and very well prepared. Lovely, polite staff! My husband had the Frutti Del Mar and I had the veal. Both very delicious!

Totul a fost de foarte buna calitate, atat mancarea cat si serviciile de servire

A lovely three generations 'girls night out', perfect friendly service with just enough attention but not over bearing, great food, perfectly cooked and at a really good price. We had the calamari, gamberoni (sauce to die for) couple of pizzas which were really tasty and seafood linguine, thoroughly enjoyable all round and environment was warm and just right to be able to have a good old catch up. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again

Staff, host and more importantly food, all perfectly cooked from fresh, simply great food well cooked, they just get it right!.

A hidden Gem. The owner and staff were so attentive and courteous. Food superb and substantial Has to be placed on my 'to go again' list

Really enjoyed our family meal. Food was excellent and service was friendly. Would definitely recommend.

This is the best restaurant in the area, great food and friendly service every time I've been.

Great food and service, would go back,

You would have to pay me to eat here again. Hair in food but argued it was a fibre and still wanted payment. Oh that makes it ok then. Lasagne very watery and sloppy. Manager taking orders for everything and staff with trainee in huge letters across their back ( how degrading for them) only allowed to bring out food or drink. No wonder they go through so many staff. In at 7.30 mains after 9pm

Love the food here , we always enjoy it, the lady that serves is very friendly and helpful.

Great Restaurant, great food, lovely setting and very welcoming staff, best italian so far. Well recommended, book in advance to get a table

Tentative and lovely. Food speaka for itselfa. Lol. 5 stars ✨

We were a family party of 10 who came in for lunch - it was delicious. Great service, lovely table by the window and all the food delicious. It’s great to be able to support local independence restaurants like this

Fantastic meal from start to finish 👌 Great food and service Most definitely coming again xx

My favourite stater calmares so yummy and filing. The main meal was perfectly cooked and to top it my favourite apple crumble with custard. I'm old fashioned, I love apple crumble since I was a kid and as a pudding it always my first choice.

I brought some old friends here for supper and we had a lovely meal. The food was delicious as ever and Sandra looked after us beautifully. On the strength of this visit we plan to come back with more friends for a birthday celebration next month.

Beautiful food and lovely staff! Personal favourite is the crab salad

My first visit to this lovely restaurant. The service was excellent , thank you Sandra. Food equally excellent. Will recommend to family and friends with no hesitation.

Very good food reasonably priced. Very friendly feel to the restaurant.

The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. We were welcomed by a very friendly lady (not sure if she is the Owner or Manager) but she made us feel very much at home. Good selection on the menu and they offer Gluten Free pizza and pasta. I had the GF Spaghetti Carbonara and I can honestly say it was the most delicious GF pasta I have ever eaten. We were not rushed at all - something I enjoy as a diner. Desserts were yummy. I would highly recommend visiting and I will definitely be back. Thank you so much L'affamato for a lovely evening!!

Such attentive service in this beautiful restaurant. The lady serving us went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our experience. Food was divine with a selection to cater for all tastes and preferences. Can't believe I've only just discovered this gorgeous restaurant having lived in Walton so long. Will 100% return.

Yet another lovely evening here with excellent food and service. Their homemade Tiramisu is second to none, absolutely excellent, never had better !

I’ve been to L’affamato with my wife many times. It is our preferred restaurant when we come to the UK to visit our daughter. We love the “spaghetti a carbonara” and the “seafood risotto”. Both are unforgettable. We will return always.

Fantastic evening spent with friends. Food was delicious. We have eaten at L'affamato many times before and never failed to disappoint, the food is amazing. Sandra is the perfect host and very accomodating. Thank you and will be back very soon.

Used to love this place and was my favourite local but has gone significantly down hill. Terrible staff and service-rude, unfriendly and incompetent. The female manager is absolutely vile and should not be in a customer service role.

We’ve been coming here for years and loved it. Recently their service and experience is abysmal, ordered from them via Deliveroo which arrived beyond wrong and was then made to like it was our fault when we drove the incorrect order back to the restaurant - avoid the staff simply do not care, the French lady in charge isn’t a patch on the older staff, she’s rude and condescending. We will never be coming back

Really great food and nice staff

Delicious food and warm, charming service. First visit but will definitely be back.

I had flies flying around my food and landing on my plate. I don't recommend this place if you like to eat without pests in your food.

We love this restaurant! The food is delicious and freshly cooked to order. The service is excellent - we had a lovely young lad who was a trainee under the guidance of the delightful host, Sandra, and he was very attentive and efficient. Thoroughly recommend this little gem tucked away on Halfway, away from the centre of Walton.

Fantastic fresh Italian food in a lovely relaxed setting - we’ve been here twice recently with our family and friends and both times everyone has commented how wonderful their food is ! So fresh and tasteful ! Pizza and pasta really lovely ! Chocolate desssert incredible ! Our friend who had gluten free pasta thoroughly enjoyed here too ! Nice ambience in the restaurant and all the staff are lovely - We look forward to going again !

We love this restaurant. The host Sandra is very friendly and welcoming. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is warm and calm. Highly recommend

We love this restaurant. Sandra the host is very friendly and welcoming, the food cooked by her husband is just amazing every time. Highly recommend

First time visit. Nice atmosphere and feel really welcoming place. Service is great but a little slow as not enough staff. After the main course waited for 50mins before we can order dessert. My daughter love the pizza

Good coffee and good atmosphere!👌🏻💯

Super good food and impeccable service. Wonderful people! ❤❤❤

The best Italian restaurant in the area

Massive fans of this place. SO family friendly. Can’t wait until our next visit.

Great food and incredibly welcoming staff👍🏻

Really nice little restaurant. Food was great and at a good price!

Nice staff, lovely atmosphere, service was a bit slow but they were very busy and we were a big group. Would go again

Loved it and will be going back, also very good value

Great food, great service a great experience

Our first visit but it won't be our last. What a great find, delicious food, really nice wine and superbly friendly and efficient staff.

This is what an Italian restaurant should be, noisy, bustling, and very good food. Service was a bit slow, serving staff seemed to concentrate on the regulars, it was almost empty when we arrived, took ages to order a drink.

Had a fantastic meal here last weekend - really tasty pasta and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I had the pesto chicken pasta and look forward to trying something new next time.

Best pizza in Walton Highly recommend

Very poor service and very expensive for what we had i wont go back again we were there for 4 hours for a two course meal and charged service as well very disappointing.

We visited last night ( 2nd time round for me) we got there at 7.00 & sat us at a table right at the back by the pizza oven, it was boiling hot & air conditioning didn’t seem to be on because the big windows were open, we waited 45 minutes before we could order drinks, the food itself we didn’t get to order till a half hour later, the food came unexpectedly quickly after ordering, the table was half cleared & we were just left, I cleared the rest of the plates & piled them to one side as I got fed up with them there, we then managed to order dessert & coffee, dessert came quickly after we ordered, coffee took. forever, we wanted to leave without it. We didn’t finish till 11.00 that’s one course, dessert & coffee, 4 hours, they’re very understaffed, lady was really nice but service was appalling, I think someone is needed just behind the bar & she could just take the orders, it’s such a shame, lovely food, they were extremely busy but obviously cannot cope with that amount of people, the last time I visited was during the week, not so busy so all was good, my husband would not go there again.

Great fish & Chips. would have been 5 Star but for the mushy peas a bit vinegary for me.

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. The food was exceptional, from starters to pudding, and the service was exemplary. Warm and friendly with a relaxing vibe. Please go and eat here.

Very disappointing service, won’t be returning.

We have just experienced an excellent meal at this restaurant. We were made to feel very welcome, recognised as previous customers and had an excellent meal with so much choice. We will go again. I had <elanzane, chicken with asparagus and apple pie and ice...

Great food, service was excellent. Tables nicely spaced so it doesn't feel like you have other people at your table. Nice lighting as well.

Visited the restaurant on Saturday night, we live just round the corner and always thought the restaurant looked very nice and keen to support local businesses so we took some friends there. My boyfriend joined us late, and we had already ordered mains. When he...

Very noisy couldn't hear my group of friends, not loud but loud echos, extremely long wait for drinks and food seemed like they needed more staff.

Incredible independent Italian. Visited a couple of times this month and the food is fantastic. Amazing place newly done up. The menu has so much choice from pizzas, pastas, meats and salad dishes - they offer delivery too. Good price and the garlic bread was delicious. I'll certainly be back! Thank you

Our first time experience in this italian restaurant has been great, super friendly staff, quality food and beautiful red wine.

Really good. Nice, limited menu. Excellent service. Been twice and pretty much faultless so far.

This is a great little local restaurant. We had one of our best meals for a long time there tonight. Thoroughly recommended.

Dined here lunchtime today. Wonderful lunch, food very tasty, well prepared and presented. No hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Wonderful service and great food.

Only 1 star we booked a table walked in was sat there for over 10mins , finally get asked of we want any drinks , then we are waiting another 10mins no drinks still then we get told they have 2 new staff who have just started tonight, then my Mrs notice the woman behind the bar was polishing glasses and still no drinks , the owner came over to us apologised to us and said she is the only one who can serve us drinks and she still have 2 table to srve before us , so we left other wise it would of been a long night , in future train your staff before having start on a busy night

We booked a table for 8pm on Friday night. Unfortunately when we got there we had to show ourselves to a table and then had to sit and wait at least 10 mins before being told that the staff were all training so service was slow, we asked for some drinks at that point and sat for another 15 mins watching a lady behind the bar slowly polish glasses and hold them up to the lights, then repeat the process. Eventually the lady came over to explain the new staff can't serve drinks and she had 2 tables of drinks to serve before us. At this point we decided to just leave as it was already gone 8:30pm. We understood that staff need to train but felt that they should of refused our booking, or maybe not let the restaurant become so busy on a day they knew they didn't have staff. As understanding as we can be, this did ruin our evening so unfortunately we have to be honest in our review. Hopefully their staff will be trained up soon as its a shame to have to leave a bad review for a local restaurant.

Came here for the first time a few weeks ago for my father in law’s 70th birthday. It was a lovely meal and everyone enjoyed their dish. Friendly attentive staff which made the whole experience better

First visit to this restaurant and I am so glad I chose it for my birthday gathering with the family. We visited on a Sunday, early evening and received a warm welcome. The restaurant itself had a very mediterranean feel, especially with the bi-folding windows...

Very tasty food , due to current staffing difficulties everywhere the service was a understandably a little slow

Beautiful local Italian restaurant to me. Very well run, extremely friendly staff. Great value for the quality and flavours of the food. I Will definitely be back soon!

Food was ok, but the service was very very poor. I understand that at time restaurants can be busy, that's the time to chat to your clients and manage their expectations so they know things are a bit slow. Not just ignore tables and focus on the take away pick ups. Pity, because I had hopes of an enjoyable family meal.

Amazing food and great atmosphere with a lovely staff

Great service and food was fab. It was also very reasonable £126.00 including tip for 4 of us, two courses each and a bottle of wine.

Good food, good service. Highly recommend.

So good food🎉love the pasta and the waitress was so kind ..For sure I will go again with my family

A small family run restaurant. We visited on a Monday evening so the restaurant was very quiet but they were still quite busy with takeaways. The tables were well spaced and sanitiser was available as you entered. Staff wore masks and it felt very Covid secure. There was a varied wine list of mainly red and white wines although there were two or three Rosé available and of course some fizz. All were reasonably priced ranging from £16 a bottle. We shared starters of garlic bread and calamari which were well presented with rocket and tomatoes - a good start. For mains I opted for spaghetti in a creamy saffron sauce with salmon and baby prawns whilst my husband had spaghetti with crab and our friend the homemade lasagne. All were piping hot, well presented and delicious. Portions were quite large so we didn't look at the dessert menu! The owner was very friendly and welcoming, spending time with us to get our feed back. We'll certainly be going back again.

Amazing food, so delicious. Chef is really passionate about the food and certainly you can taste it. Stake was out of this world so tender and pasta with seafood so tasty. The Manager was very attentive and made our anniversary very special. Deffinately will go...

Very bad treating people .if you are delivery man then no respect. Stay out side .no pick up point .very bad management

The “L’affamato” is a charming, small family run Italian restaurant a 5minute walk from Walton-on-Thanes railway station. We had a lovely welcome- indeed all the staff were very friendly-service with a smile! There was a large range of starters, mains and sweets available and portions...

I order regularly in this place. Very decent Italian food weather it’s pizza, pasta or simply salad. Always delivered fast and delicious.

We've been to the restaurant before but this was our first takeaway. Fantastic food and service; swift delivery, well-packed and still really hot when it arrived. Absolutely delicious and highly recommended!

Great Italian cooking. Every dish I have tried has delivered. Friendly staff. Recommended.

Lovely fresh food and visited several times. The restaurant is nicely decorated and enjoyable to visit.

Ordered on Uber eats. So good, can’t recommend enough

I’ve been here countless times & Pizzas are fantastic either eat in or takeaway. Service is quick, friendly and efficient. The best pizza place in Walton by a mile.

A small Italian restaurant....friendly staff and a good, varied menu. Surprisingly a bowl of chips and an Italian beer, when in a hurry, is not a problem. At weekends it's wise to book beforehand!

The food was amazing, service was great, and staff were really friendly and helpful.

Fab family meal, wonderful service and terrific food. Marvellous local restaurant to support during these strange times

Good food with good price. Crabmeat avocado salad was amazing. And seafood was fresh.

Very busy last night but staff were very attentive. The food the 4 of us had was excellent, especially the spaghetti bolognase. Will definitely visit again

Fabulous food and fantastic service

We had an excellent meal as a family of 2 adults and 3 children. The portions are very generous, an extensive menu with lots of choices, and everything was delicious. The baked salmon was particularly great, and the pizzas fantastic (if perhaps a little salty)....

Fantastic food at this Italian family restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, delicious starters and main courses and excellent service too.

The food was amazing! Our children thoroughly enjoyed the pizza and pasta. Highly recommended

Our first meal out in a restaurant after lockdown. Two adults and three young children. Wonderfully welcoming and warm service. Food was fantastic. Will definitely be regular customers.

Excellent first couple of takeaway experiences. Food was ready on time for collection, hot, fresh, tasty and plentiful. Received complementary margherita pizza but couldn’t eat what we had! Takes care of tomorrow’s lunch 👍🏻. Highly recommend and can’t wait for the next one.
