Numero Uno in Wandsworth

Great service, well tasting food and accommodating on a busy Friday night!

The mushroom ravioli is to die for we all enjoyed our food I will be back for sure

Excellent food and experience. Felt authentically Italian. Would highly recommend!!

One of the most honest restaurants around- never had a bad meal in 30 years… And the menu hasn’t changed, happily- if it works, why fix it! Highly recommended! 😀

Been here for ever. Still fantastic!

Been here for ever. Still fantastic!

Fantastic, quintessential Italian dishes, generous portions, attentive and polite staff with a traditional Italian atmosphere. Lovely.

Great food as always. Haven’t visited for a number of years but the olive tapenade and calves liver with sage iare still amazing!

The most wonderful local restaurant. We are so lucky to have it on our doorstep. It’s Cosy, the staff are friendly and the food is delicious.

Best place in Battersea. Never disappoints. Exceptional food, service, ambience and value.

Delicious food and amazing services. We had a great night.

Such a wonderful place, food is incredible and service is amazing! Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to visit again!!

Lovely meal. Best Italian in Clapham

This is one of our favourite restaurants and we are so lucky it’s on our doorstep. Feels like you’re transported to Italy. Incredible food, friendly staff and efficient service. Would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic spot with with high-end Italian food but with a real local feel

Best food ever could come every day of my life

This was one of the best dinners I had in London in a while. We tried 3 different pastas and the portions were so big that we could not finish between 3 of us. And they were absolutely delicious!!! Also the wine was the best I ever had. The staff were very fun and lovely. Will definitely be back!

It was great to be back at Numero Uno. Not been for a few years. But won’t leave it as long again. My mum and I both had pasta - both dishes were delicious. And such a lovely team - some have been there for many years and it was great to see them again!

One of my favourite Italians in London good menu great service

Went to Numero Uno at weekend with our 4.5 year old. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Food and service are outstanding. By far the best Italian in South London. Excellent with children, our boy was given extra attention and treats…highly recommend!

Really tasty food wonderful staff!

Definitely one of our favourite restaurants on Northcote Road, always constantly good food and a warm and friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic staff and really good food would definitely recommend

Superb food and service. Excellent risotto. Glad we picked this place above the many alternatives on NR.

The perfect place; tastiest food, nicest people!!

First time back here in a decade and as good as ever. London is so lucky to have so many great family run Italian restaurants and Clapham is b lucky to have Numero Uno

Manager is very rude and does know how to converse properly. Food was very average

I eat here all the time..The veal Numero Uno is the daddy

Wonderful place,Nice food excellent service.I thoroughly enjoyed it

Delicious food - good service on what was a very busy Sunday afternoon.

Nuestra primera visita a este restaurante. Gran bienvenida por ambos miembros del equipo de espera con una sonrisa. La comida era excelente bien presentado y lleno de sabor. Guarda espacio para el pudín. El tiramisú fue uno de los mejores que he probado fuera de Italia.

Great food and service. One of the few high quality Italian restaurants on Northcote Road.

Lovely local Italian restaurant, was able to sit outside on a Sunday evening which was wonderful. I had the fagioli soup to start followed by the orecchiette with sausage and broccoli which were delicious. The tiramisu to finish had a little too much cocoa powder for me but otherwise was a lovely end to the meal. Also put a shot of limoncello on the house for us each - where else do you get that service in London?! Would highly recommend!

Always the best. We come here most weeks and find it hard to go elsewhere. The pasta is superb. The service is great. If you want authentic Italian, this is the place.

A beautiful place, with an even more beautiful environment and staff. The food came at a good pace - it didn’t take long at all, but it wasn’t rushed at all. Every dish was perfectly cooked, no cold bits or non-fresh ingredients in sight! Personally, ordered the Spaghetti Vongole and….perfect. The only word I’d use. As mentioned before, all the food was fresh and delicious. The drinks were refreshing, and overall very, very good. In terms of atmosphere, it’s cosy and relaxing. At one point the lights dimmed, and everything became, somehow, more comforting and intimate. Despite the noise of other customers, everyone in the group I was with felt at ease. All the cutlery and plates were pristine, and we were given citrus scented wipes after our mains - which were very helpful. The tables had tablecloths, which is always amazing as nowadays they no longer seem to be used as much. Lastly, the staff. Everyone was absolutely delightful, greeting us the minute we walked in and not hesitating for some banter as food was delivered and brought away. We had the absolute pleasure of talking a lot with Daniele, and he was more than amazing! Laughter all around, and made our dining experience even better. Overall, very amazing place. Would definitely recommend coming here either with family or dates! Atmosphere is lovely, food is to die for, and just nice all around. 10/10.

Nice buzzy ambience on a busy Sat. Food was alright, but service was terribky slow! We had to wait an hr. for our main course and they didn't even bother asking if we wanted to have dessert! When after hrs. of waiting we asked for dessert menu, response was 'you want to have dessert?'. I understand Saturdays are busy, but expected a better service than this.

Food is tasty , service is excellent Wine menu is very basic ! Could do with some better wines. Kids food was so hot took 20 mins to cool down

I have been coming here for years. There are few places in London which serve authentic, delicious Italian food consistently. If you get the chance you must go.

Perfect early dinner with my family.

Very welcoming and lovely pastas, smart place. The house red is delicious

Very nice restaurant and good food. Nuce service and the guys are very kind.

Had such a lovely experience here! Food amazing and staff delightful!

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Such a lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, beautiful food! Can’t wait to come back ♥️ Thank you to all of the wonderful accommodating staff and chefs at número uno 😊

Great food, specially the Milanese. Great selection of food, wine and desserts. The lemon tart has room to improve as the lemon was not good quality but overall was great. 100% recommended

Have been coming since I was a young child and still love it just as much

Fabulous service and exquisite food. A really Enjoyable evening.

Feeling home! Gino number one absolutely, service very good, food very good! Lovley place

Considering it is on our doorstep, I would really love this place but sadly I can't. I have been there a number of times and having lived in Italy I find the food really disappointing and average. However, the final straw was the lobster spaghetti that was so salty that it was inedible(and I love salt). The waiter came over to ask how our food was and we told him it was too salty to eat and he just left with no comment. The last time I went to that place.

Fabulous and popular (best to book) neighbourhood Italian offering flawless execution of all the classic dishes. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Great to have on your doorstep but worth a journey too. Looking forward to coming back. Nice atmosphere.

Lovely food and fantastic service. Genuinely up there with the best service I’ve ever experienced at a London restaurant. Attentive and helpful without being over bearing. Can’t wait to go again!

Il ristorante e elegante il personale cordiale.Il cibo era fantastico ottima pasta,pesce delizioso tutto preparato con amore.

Very nice meal and attentive waiters.

The attention is professional and the atmosphere is unique

Attended for a work party dinner this weekend, i grew up in Italy so I have a high expectation of Italian restaurants in England and Numero Uno did not disappoint. Questo e il miglior cibo italiano che abbia mai mangiato in Inghilterra. Gino is a fantastic manager and host. Complimenti~!

We were a large group accommodated So kindly. Excellent food.

Food is great, so many dishes to try on the menu. Best service in town. Will be back soon. Thank you

Great food - feels like a quintessential Italian - was a pleasant surprise !

The Northcote Road is well worth a visit at lunchtime. The problem is that there are too many alternatives so Numero Uno gets just 4 stars, simply because there are a couple of better places nearby. Overall the food is good and the place is clean and welcoming. Well worth a visit.

Ok approach you think it's fancy When seated it's all a bit tired (incl the staff) But then the food is absolutely spot on, the staff is very friendly and know what to do. Highly recommended!

It’s one of those restaurants where you order food by randomly sticking your finger on the menu and it would turn out awesome. Service is great. If you like small family run restaurants, this is the place to go.

Highly recommend the aubergine parmigiana! Cheesy, melt in your mouth, crispy and smooth, it is a must order every time we visit. The pasta never fails to be hearty in portion and filling. Very fresh and overall delicious Italian food.

We booked a table for 4 people 3 weeks before our reservation date, and we were called to ask if we wanted the booking 1 hour before as they were full, we confirmed the booking and when we arrived we were the only table there and sat directly next to the staff who were eating lunch. The manager of the restaurant served us but kept making remarks about silly things. We ignored him but found his attitude very invasive. When the main course came, I asked for Parmesan cheese and the manager told me how can I out parmesan cheese on my pasta dish, that he would not put parmesan cheese on the pasta dish I was eating, and he never even offered to the other guests who were eating pasta dishes. When I asked why there was a problem he huffed and then they changed to a lovely waitress who was so pleasant. I sent my dish back, as it was dry lacked flavour and tasted like butter and butter was not an ingredient. When I ordered the bill the manager argued with me and told me I have to pay for the dish I sent back, and that parmesan does not go with the dish. I explained to him that he is causing a scene because I asked for parmesan cheese in an Italian restaurant. I paid the full price for the sake of peace, but genuinely as someone with Italian roots, this food is not great and the service is bad. JUST FOR FUN IF YOU GO I DARE YOU TO ASK FOR EXTRA PARMESAN CHEESE.

Incredible food, authentic Italian place that is run by people who really care about food! It shows in every dish. Fantastic experience all around.

Great to come back here again. Food and service excellent as always 🙂

Such a refreshing change from the usual chain restaurants in London! The moment we stepped in on a Friday evening, we were transported to Italy with its authentic ambiance and busy Italian atmosphere. The food was very good. If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience away from the ordinary, this restaurant is a must-visit gem in Wandsworth.

Great experience, very traditional Italian restaurant with delicious but basic Italian food.

Great food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Try the wild boar pasta. It’s a knock out!

Good food and better service. They are one of the best restaurants at Northcote Road

Lovely Italian. Rather expensive for the level of food, but always consistent

I’ve been coming to Numero Uno for many years and they always deliver a tasty meal, good portions and efficient friendly service. See you again

A local institution, we've been coming here for decades! Charming staff and great old fashioned, delicious Italian faire.

Excellent food and service. The place was buzzing

We were there for a late lunch and this is a beautiful little restaurant with lots of home-made options and great service. Wonderful wine selection, but we chose house wine which was very good and reasonable. Calamari fritti, veal scaloppine and branzino fish specials were delicious. We had a lovely conversation with the Manager who was very attentive and funny.

Great food and amazing service.

Great staff. Traditional family run Italian restaurant. Super food and wine.

We had a lovely client dinner. I booked this based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was divine and the staff were lovely. It had a real buzz and we will definitely come again. Our dishes ranged from pasta (vegetarian) pasta with fish and lamb. Everyone was happy

Yet another great experience at Numero Uno. It’s delicious food and great service are so consistent. Thanks again and see you soon.

Nice evening, food have been good but not outstanding. We’ve had the osso bucco which have been nice and the truffle pasta, which have been average.

Astonishing quality of food - I was there with my two daughters who are both somewhat fussy eaters, with no complaints at all. Beautifully presented and nice staff. Definitely recommended.

Extremely overpriced for what is at best average food. My pasta was completely bland and tasteless, almost impressively so. Also male wait staff will happily push and lean into your body when serving the table, which is unnecessary and made many of us feel very uncomfortable.

Authentic Italian restaurant located ion Northcote road. Fantastic service and quality of food - we will be back!

Nice restaurant with table cloths. Good food and house red wine. Had the seafood risotto which was pretty good.

Sweet little Italian, great atmosphere, wonderful staff who truly want you to have the best experience possible. Will be returning.

Great italian restaurant. They have a lot of different hand made pastas and nice desserts. Be aware that service charge is NOT included on the bill. During payment you can choose the tip you want to give. (This was not obvious for me so I didn't tip and didn't pay service charge either. Sorry for this, Numero Uno)

This place hasn’t changed in years. It’s a very good Italian neighbourhood restaurant which primarily focuses on the traditional. Food is well-cooked, portions are plentiful and prices aren’t exorbitant. Service was attentive, courteous and efficient. It’s a nice place.

Quite friendly place but something has happened to the food: over-spiced, over-cooked pasta; unpleasant and over-oiled swordfish; very ordinary sea bass; school-lunch style veg. It’s a shame because we remembered it as better than the dreadful lunch we just had, but I’m afraid we won’t be coming back again.

We had a table on the terrace side of the entrance - very pleasant when sunny! Service was good and staff was clued and onboard. Food we had for 4 plus 2 children was fine. I would say slightly expensive for the what you get imho. It was good but lacked a little aroma. Overall the experience was very good and wine was decently priced. Would recommend when on northcoate Rd. Try it!

I have been going to Numero Uno for over 30 years. I recently went back (August 2022) and had the same dish I always had - Mozzarella in Carrozza and the veal in mushroom and cream sauce. Sensational. It was as I remembered - perfect . Still the best Italian restaurant in my humble opinion

Numero Uno indeed! This is my new favourite Italian restaurant. Lovely hot food and great sized portions, good lighting, clean and great service; speed/efficiency and service with a smile.

If you want to be treated like your ex employer and pay £15 for below average burrata, this is your spot! In the heart of Northcote Road, this little gem serves locally bought tomatoes from the co-op further up the road. Deffo worth a visit! 😊😊

Just came out extremely bland , left most of the food and as we are so polite did not want to complain, but would of done if had been asked HOW WAS OUR FOOD :(

Just had an amazing lunch at Numero Uno. Service was great and they accommodated our asks to have salads with mains rather than veg. I had a rack of lamb and this was a serious rack, not just a couple of cutlets ! My friend had beautifully cooked swordfish. Just simply delicious and no problem at all. Thank you so much everyone at the restaurant, it was wonderful. Gracie …

Walk past all the time and thought it looked nice so booked in to take family. Unfortunately it was a pretty underwhelming experience and I was a little embarrassed about having picked the place. The food was pretty mediocre with my seafood risotto in particular lacking taste. The service was poor and made us feel uncomfortable - my sister in law said the staff were rude to her on arrival, I asked 5 or 6 times for salt and didn’t get it until I walked into the restaurant myself to pick it out, at the end of the meal we asked for an itemised bill so we could split the cost which they refused to provide and just told us it wasn’t much money so why were we worrying. Much better Italians in close proximity

Real authentic local Italian. Been coming for 10 years and never had a bad experience.

The food is good but the service is so so. The place needs a bit of refreshing.

I had a cheese cake and it was off Out of date cheesecake

Outstanding meal. Authentic Italian food. Highly recommend this long serving and traditional restaurant and Northcote Road.

We’ve been to numero uno on numerous occasions over the past three years, as we enjoyed the food, it was in a good location and a nice place to eat with friends. Sadly our past two visits have made us all vow to never return. The staff have been unbelievably rude to us and acted like we were an inconvenience. The tables are so packed in it’s difficult to move around and obviously creates a noise issue. Last night a family of Italians kept staring at our table - we were a group having a dinner to celebrate a friends birthday and were talking and laughing but not being unreasonable (also note how close the tables are!). This family then spilt red wine over a friends brand new white shirt and coat and neither management nor the guests offered a meaningful apology or to cover dry cleaning etc. We were obviously annoyed as any of us would have instantly apologised and tried to offer some way of helping. The management then got quite aggressive with us while speaking in Italian with the other table. The other guests made comments about us having had three bottle of wine (between five guests over three courses!!!), the quality of the clothes (it may not be Gucci but the shirt did cost over £100) and even said ‘typical British people’ (even though we were not all British…). We regularly dine out together and have had no issues at all? Management egged them on somewhat or at least offered no help. We had a similar poor and disrespectful last time we visited and have decided to end our trips there. The food is alright but there are plenty of lovely Italian restaurants in the area where we feel valued as patrons. Super disappointing.
