Osteria Antica Bologna in Wandsworth

This was the most amazing ravioli with spinach and sage and butter I had ever - and I had a few 😁 sooo light and creamy and buttery

Second time here, food and service was excellent, we spent a lovely afternoon at a table outside. Staff were attentive and gave great wine recommendations, there was no rush for us to leave even though the lunch service had finished sometime before we left.

Really loved this place. There are hundreds of Italian restaurants in London, but few manage to transport you to Italy like Antica Bologna does. Great atmosphere, lovely food. I'm a coeliac and catered brilliantly for gluten free.

Today I had the best chicken (paillarde) of my life. Take the first bite and you know. Simple food is the most difficult to get right. This was sensational as was everything - service, goats cheese, courgette, tiramisu. Don’t tell your friends as it is busy enough as it is. Keep it a secret.

Love this place. Excellent menu of quality food. Friendly and efficient staff.

Great food, fabulous atmosphere and gorgeous staff who obviously love their restaurant. What a gem - thanks so much.

We have always enjoyed our outings to Antica Bologna, just wish we didn’t live so far away or we would be there more often. The food is really delicious (always eat far too much) and the service excellent. Look forward to our next visit.

We eat here a lot as it’s our favourite local restaurant. One can’t fault the service and the food. Love it!

Revisited an old favourite from bygone years which was packed with diners of all ages! Glad to see that the service is still friendly and courteous without being intrusive however missed my snip of Limoncello! Maybe next time.

Great family run restaurant with very friendly staff. Good atmosphere . We were a table of 5 on Friday evening. Food amazing, just good old fashioned Italian done to a very high standard. We shared a few starters for the table and then we all had pasta mains and they were all delicious. Highly recommend the crab linguine.

Great food, excellent service and pleasant ambience. Thanks

I was disappointed by the food, small portions and quite bland.

A really friendly Italian with delicious food and a very ‘can do’ attitude.

As always we were made very welcome, the food was excellent t and the staff relaxed, amiable and very nice. We will come again - and again.

A wonderful evening! Brilliant food (ravioli and ragu were both delicious!) and service was very good, we felt attended to and looked after. Will definitely be back!

FABULOUS!!! The sea bream was cooked to perfection and was just the right texture . So tasty ! And it was just the right amount and so healthy! We could all really learn a thing or two from the Italians about healthy tasty food! No wonder they live long lives! Great service and lovely family, rustic ambience . Coming again!

Absolutely fabulous. We ate here @ 20 years ago…we had small kids so hardly went out. But we loved everything. Food like in Bologna. Lovely, friendly service. The room is so cozy. Fairly noisy (I’m half deaf) but it was just a lovely lunch. Treat yourself.

Delicious lunch, wonderful service and great value for money thank you very much again

As usual couldn't fault it - despite it being busy, the kitchen and foh staff did a good job. My daughter was pleased to have her birthday acknowledged too!

Really lovely. Very authentic Italian food. The zucchini fritti are highly recommended!

Great Italian and very buzzy atmosphere just before Christmas. Good Negroni and very good crab linguine. I didn’t have it but the lady dining at the next table had Minestrone soup which looked amazing and she confirmed it was.

Love the changing specials. Foods great and staff are very nice.

Delicious food and wine at a good price. Friendly and efficient service too. A great first visit!

Very enjoyable lunch using fixed price menu - provided very good value overall.

Good food and restaurant - great place for a family lunch.

Traditional local Italian restaurant. Staff very friendly and attentive without being in your face. Very professional outfit. Food amazing.

Ottimo pranzo Cibo buonissimo è di qualità Porzioni adeguatissime Ottima scelta Grazie Ottimo pranzo a Londra......

Tuve mi almuerzo de cumpleaños aquí. El restaurante estaba muy ocupado pero el servicio era atento y amable y la comida, como siempre, estaba cocinada a la perfección y bien presentada.

Excellent service and lots of good humour; fabulous food and generous portion sizes. Always a favourite.

Lovely atmosphere and excellent Italian dishes with a carafe of tasty red wine.

I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. They still make the best zucchini fritti in London. The friends I was with (Putney and Pimlico) wished they had as good an Italian close to them!

Top quality food at a fair price. Thoroughly recommend

Great good Great service Great ambience Fabulous vibe

Fantastic food, great specials as well. Service was great, highly recommend as an authentic Italian restaurant

This old stalwart continues to deliver. More comfortable than its early days with barrels for tables. £19 set lunch with plenty of choice is extraordinary value. Very friendly service too

Very good Italian restaurant. Slightly rushed through as we were a 1.45pm booking on a Friday lunchtime but it was a good meal and the atmosphere was good.

Staff and service were great. Loved the crab linguine but wasn’t all that keen on the deep fried seafood starter but overall it was a great time dining here.

Had the lunchtime menu 2 courses for £19.00. Fried courgette strips to start followed by Sea Snapper on spinach. Excellent

Lovely place to have a dinner. Food was delicious and well presented.

The Osteria never fails to be fun, for a local (Battersea) restaurant it is superb.

Waiters seem to want to get rid of us. Constantly coming to the table to ask if we were finished! We sat, menu was given not a minute later we were asked if ready to order, we weren’t, a second waiter came within a minute or so, and then the third. The food was really poor, not much taste, the pannacota was soft and tasted of milk and the ravioli overcooked. The table was minute, just space for the plates, we were squeezed between tables, and the noise was horrendous as there must have been 30 people or more in that tiny front room. I booked it to meet up with my friend for her birthday, what a disappointment!!

Lovely food, lovely staff and impeccable service. Many thanks!

Everything was delicious and lots of flavour - good vegetarian options and specials

I have not been to the restaurant for some time. My recent visit was outstanding!

Excellent service and amazing food! Highly recommend, one of the best Italians restaurants I've been in London.

Spectacularly delicious authentic food in a restaurant that envelopes you in warmth and exceptional service. We used to go to this lovely treat of a restaurant 25 years ago, and it lived up to and beyond our memories and expectations

Love this place. But sadly just too noisy. Service is 5*

My favourite restaurant! Feels like a little escape to Italy on northcote Road. We always walk around intending to try somewhere new but get drawn back to this wonderful homely spot with fab service, incredible food and great wines too.

Great little Italian restaurant on Northcoat Road, thoughtful original Menu supplemented with a few daily specials. Vitello Tomato starter followed by Cod served on spinach with cannellini beans was excellent, fish was perfect. Some Gavi white wine and Spaghetti bolognese for the kids. Highly recommend.

We are regular diners at Osteria and for good reason. Always a warm welcome, excellent food and lovely ambience. The lunch menu is great value too.

Food and service excellent. Lunch menu good value. Wines on the pricey side. Tables cramped and close together with noise level high. But I suppose that is part of its charm.

Tasty food in a bustling, cosy setting. Top tip - the house wine (Fiano) is great, which is as it should be, but so often isn't in other places. Seafood dishes strong. Pineapple carpacio a surprise, in a good way! Bill reasonable for the area.

Love this Italian- it’s an independent I think so good all cooked fresh, excellent menu not too long. Drinks and wines are good. Great service & atmosphere. I come here regularly with my son who lives in London. We had to go further up the road when they closed for a week or so but came straight back when they reopened! Keep doing what you’re doing!

Food was really delicious, but portions were rather small. Service was amazing and atmosphere is nice, but can get a little noisy.

Thank you Elena and Lili for a great night!

Great Italian food and service! Strongly recommend!

Osteria Antica Bologna is a gem, and never lets us down. A varied set lunch menu, excellent fare, attentive and helpful serving staff. No airs and graces, simply a destination for exceptional food and ambience.

Excellent, authentic Italian restaurant. Always great food and wine and very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Whilst we've been here many times this will probably be our last visit for the foreseeable future. We felt very rushed and the tables are so close together it was hard to talk and listen. Vegetarian options also not as good as usual.

Incredible food but even more amazing service, Lily was so attentive and the whole team were so attentive. Perfect evening, will be going back for sure!

Amazing good and lovely warm and excellent service

Excellent service and delicious food from their very reasonable set lunch menu

Good but noisy. Food and service great. Wine good.

As lovely as ever - my favourite Northcote Road restaurant!

Local, neighbourhood gem. It was out first visit. There was a little mix-up with our table, but the manager sorted everything out. Wonderful, delicious food.

A very enjoyable evening, friendly and efficient service and very good food.

Absolutely amazing service, probably the best I've experienced in London. Food was great as well and the wine selection is affordable yet delicious. Highly reccomend!

Really good food, friendly service

Although I've lived in the area for many years and knew about this restaurant I had never been there. I was definitely missing out - welcoming service, delicious home-cooked food, great lunchtime deal, fantastic all round! Can't wait to go again.

Delicious food, bustling atmosphere and PROPER SERVICE from friendly, professional staff. I've been here over many years and it's always consistent - highly recommend!

Cena con amigos un viernes por la noche. Es un restaurante muy concurrido con un ambiente muy animado. Calamari para empezar y ternera cutlet para principal. La comida era de lo más agradable y no nos pareció lento el servicio a pesar de que el restaurante estaba lleno. Sin duda volveremos pronto.

First visit to this popular Italian in Northcote Road. Three course family meal. Very pleasant

Delicious ...fritto misto , Octopus, Panacotta with strawberries

I had a Saturday dinner here before they went for refurbishment. The food was really good especially the zucchini fries and the tiramisu but everything was above average. We had their tagliata di manzo and a pasta both were good. It’s though a bit pricier than all the other restaurants on Northcote and you must make a reservation as it can come up to an hour of wait.

Horrible, leaves a lot to be desired.

You're on the safe side here... flavors that will remain etched in your memories for years, I say this as an Italian

Exceptional staff and service. Food is always delicious, freshly prepared and served impeccably. Excellent in all regards, fantastic value!

High quality authentic Italian food.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Delicious food and wine. Throughly recommend.

Nos mostraron a una mesa apretada en la parte trasera del restaurante, que no recomendaría, pero reservamos tarde, así que nos quedamos muy contentos de que nos encajaron. Nos dejaron sentados en la mesa durante más de 20 minutos, nadie vino a darnos menús ni a ofrecernos bebidas. Salimos y fuimos al restaurante italiano de enfrente, donde nos sentamos en una mesa mucho mejor, nos sirvieron rápidamente y tuvimos una muy buena comida.

Third visit in 7 days! 🙂 Birthday celebrations… all 3 times the food was excellent… welcoming team. I hadn’t been for a few years. Lovely afternoon. Very friendly welcome and excellent service. Thanks all, Steph

We loved it here! Nice atmosphere, great food, friendly service and good value. My partner had the wild boar raging which was absolutely delicious. I had the crab linguini which was fresh and summery. Checked all our boxes and we’d definitely go back.

Busy, charming, long-established restaurant serving good quality food. Service a little haphazard - starter and mains arrived almost at the same time and one drink was forgotten.

Food was awful. Had a steak. It was tasteless, fatty and dry. Service wasn't great. I beg to differ over the positive reviews this place has because our experience was dreadful and a waste of money!

Estábamos de visita en Londres y nos reunimos con familiares y amigos para cenar. La comida era excelente. Tomé risotto con langostinos, para el desierto - pannacotta y fue el mejor que he tenido, ligero como una pluma. Mi marido tenía una chuleta de ternera que era muy tierna y sabrosa. El servicio era muy bueno, nos recibieron en la puerta y todo el personal era muy servicial y atento. El servicio obviamente mejora con respecto a las revisiones anteriores.

It was ok. The steak was quite nice. The wine was amazing. The service was friendly. The restaurant ambience was decent

Real Italian good good in this mall restaurant.

Delicious, modern, authentic Italian food. Always very enjoyable.

Such a great neighbourhood restaurant! My Linguine alle vongole was perfect. The front section can be a bit noisy (depending on other diners!) but it was nicely calm in the rear section.

The open front/outside seating was lovely for a sunny lunchtime - airy but not in full glaring sunshine. The staff were attentive but not intrusive, and the food was delicious.

Great place ! The waitress , if im not wrong , Giada was her name , was incredible. We felt like home thanks to her and was by far the best attention we had in our month in London . Thank you and thanks Giada 🙂.

We had such a fantastic meal here - all the food was absolutely delicious and it really felt like we'd gone on holiday to Italy. Definitely will be coming back and recommending to friends!

My favourite restaurant in London. Delicious authentic Italian food and great service. Delicious tiramisu

Always fabulous. Fantastic quality for a local restaurant and lovely staff.

Excellent food and service in lovely traditional restaurant.

Great food and fantastic service. A great dining experience the food was amazing.

Osteria Antica Bologna is a firm local favourite of ours. It is easily the best Italian restaurant around Northcote. Food is always delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. As always, it never disappoints.

What a find, excellent food, wonderful service and great atmosphere.

Always great food and service at Osteria. Very relaxed atmosphere and particularly good when weather allows the front to be opened up.

Excellent- good service and tip top fare We dined al fresco, balmy atmosphere with some chilled Italian rosé to complement the cod. Delicious.
