A great local Italian in the former Lee Green post office. Family owned and run with a long menu (which normally starts alarm bells but in this case doesn’t!). The staff are amazing and great with kids while the food is hearty, tasty and very good value for money. Definitely recommended.

I needed to carb up as this was a pre London marathon meal. Wow, I didn't need to worry! The meal sizes were huge and the prices were amazing. I had a calzone, nothing too fancy as I wanted to be kind to my stomach just in case. My daughter and husband had pizzas which were huge, but they somehow managed to put them away! The service was second to none, and there were lots of birthday parties happening, so we got into the swing of singing Happy Birthday several times over the course of the evening. I had a great time, and felt like a party goer by the time we came to leave! It was not rowdy by any stretch however, and we all left feeling very happy with full bellies!

Visited our favourite restaurant to celebrate my husbands 65th birthday.As we were a bigger group with young children we opted to sit in the room off the main restaurant. I was able to decorate the room prior to the evening. We all enjoyed great food and friendly helpful service . The food was served hot and well presented . We were given time in between courses and were asked when we wanted the main course served. We went on to enjoy desserts and birthday cake. It was a fantastic evening and everyone enjoyed it , for the majority of the guests it was their first visit and they all want to return. Can highly this restaurant for family gatherings . Thank you to all the staff at Carola and we will see you soon

Beautiful food and fantastic service. We took our two nieces for dinner and the staff could not have been more attentive, they really looked after us and went out of the way to make the girls happy - even getting them a cocktail and shot (alcohol free of course) to make sure they felt included- thank you so much

My wife and I went to the restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have been past many times but had never been in. What a mistake that was! From the greeting at the door to the farewell at the end of the evening we could not have asked for a better time. Our waiter was friendly and very funny, polite and treated us as valued customers. The food was exceptional with a very wide choice. We both had the fungi with Italian blue cheese to start that was so good and HOT. My wife had Salmon and I had the rack of lamb for main with saute potatoes and vegetables. Once again beautifully cooked and presented and HOT. We were very impressed with the food being hot as this is very unusual as in most restaurants the food is generally luke warm when it gets to the table. The desserts were also brilliant. I had the banofee pie and my wife had the biscuit cake with ice cream. When the bill came we were offered a glass of limoncello which was a really nice touch. Overall a great evening, not cheap but very good value. We will definitely be going again very soon.

Despite being busy the service was on point.We asked for a short break between courses and this was adhered to so we could enjoy each course without being rushed.We all enjoyed our food, the specials of calves kidney/chicken liver starter and penne stilton were excellent.With crackers and christmas decorations on the tables, great food and service we enjoyed an excellent evening .as we say to the staff " everything is yummy.yummy".

I was very pleasantly surprised when I went inside Ristorante Carola. I’d passed it so many times and never paid much attention. It’s nicely decorated and modern inside although the outside is a bit dated looking and doesn’t match. The service was excellent, really friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend had some tasty prawns to start with. My chicken pesto gnocchi tasted good, the pasta was perfect but I wasn’t so sure on the quality of chicken. The base of the pizza my boyfriend had wasn’t good, it definitely seemed like it had been frozen but we were told that the pizza bases are made in the morning and kept in the fridge. If that’s the case then it just didn’t seem fresh – a bit soggy in the middle and hard on the crust. Prices were reasonable. Overall, with some improvements to the food I think this has potential to be a great restaurant but unfortunately I was disappointed by the food on this occasion.

Excellent Italian out of the way in south east London. Lovely decor (lights could be lower but that is Europe), EXCELLENT service by a very trained staff. Started with a layered eggplant dish that was very very good and I am just so-so on eggplant. Then the calamari which was also quite good. Homemade tartar was quite unique and delicious. Herein would lie my only minor complaint. Squid is plentiful over here and the portion was quite small and quite dear. Followed with carbonara, this portion was large and flavorful. The house made hot pepper olive oil (added at will) was a beautiful touch, in moderation. It is out of the wat but really only a 20 minute train ride from Charing Cross or Canon Street. You have driven further and longer for very good Italian and this is very good Italian.

All our food was well presented ,hot and delicious.Our waiter advised us regarding drinks etc and remembered we had requested a short wait between starters and mains, I didnt get his name but he was a portugese gentleman and very professional The four of us had a great evening and were some of the last to leave. A very good local restaurant, great service,food and wine in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

A friend booked this restaurant to celebrate my Birthday last night and we had a great time. The food was lovely. The wine was delicious and it was all very reasonably priced. The staff made sure we had a really special time, especially the lady. Sorry I didn't get her name. She was so kind, taking our photos for us, cutting and serving my cake and got what was left it all boxed and ready for me to take home. Thank you Ristorante Carola

My family and I are regular diners at Carola since we live around 5 minutes' walk away. While this certainly won't be the best Italian meal you've ever had, and while the location itself is far from being anything to write home about, dining here is a good experience made great by how affordable it is. You won't be amazed by the location, or the decorating, but the service is welcoming and friendly, with the regulars who are often dining there really adding to the feeling that this is a nice, neighbourhood restaurant. However, the star here is the food: I've only ever had pizza or calzone, but they are always made with great dough and cooked to perfection in a wood fire oven (you can actually ask to have medium or thin crust), with the ingredients used also being of great quality. There is also good variety in the menu, which includes steak and chips for those who aren't fans of Italian cuisine. In all of the times I have been, I have never been disappointed with my order, which also says a lot about how consistently great the food is - especially impressive considering that almost no item of food is priced at over £10-12. Compare that to most takeaway places, that are nowhere near as good and that will set you back around the same amount, and you start to get an idea of how good-value the place is.Overall, this is a great, family-friendly, neighbourhood pizzeria, with friendly service and and nice, laid-back atmosphere. If you're looking to have great Italian food without breaking the bank, look no further!

We were looking for a local restaurant in lee as my stepdaughter had just moved there. This was within easy walking distance and looked good on the reviews and their menu looked good on the website.Upon arrival we had a very warm greeting from the staff. We had a choice of a few tables for our party of 4. Drinks were ordered and then the choice of good food took us ages to decide. The food was freshly cooked to order, very well presented and above all, scrumptious. There wasn't a morsel left on any plate. Dessert was very good as well.Staff were attentive throughout and very friendly. Will definitely be going back on a future visit. The ambience was very good with a mixture of couples and small groups. The toilets were spotless although you couldn't swing a cat in there. All in all, a very good place to have a relaxed meal with friends or family.

The menu never changes but it doesn't matter! Friendly staff, great food, excellent value. I've brought all my friends and family here as I know it will never disappoint. One day I hope they sort out the lighting which is bright enough to perform an operation under but I can forgive that for the amazing food and service.

The service is good very attentive and friendly. The food is both excellent in flavour and portion size. The cheese board has to be mentioned in its siize and presentation. Restaurant often busy but always has a sensible level of staffing to maintain good service. Best Italian in area and worth the cost of an UBER home. The picture of the empty plate says it all.

Jeune français adorant la cuisine italienne et l'Angleterre, je me suis régalé lorsque je dégustais chaque plat de ce restaurant. Désormais je peux confirmer que les anglais sont très accueillant et adorent quand des touristes viennent dans leurs restaurants. Je vous conseille la pizza quatre fromage et le cheesecake sur deux étages qui sont un régal.

Another fantastic night for a family party. Nothing is too much trouble and Paula and rest of the guys were all so nice. I had the grilled sardines followed by the gamberoni provencale which were both delicious and my niece commented that her spare ribs which we didn't expect to find on the menu were some of the nicest she has tasted. We've been here for big family party (the room out the back is perfect), lunch for two and dinner for four and had had a great experience every time.

Went for my leaving do with seven colleagues.On arrival we were told the "table is over there". Different waiters served us during the meal which confused them. The manageress did not ask if 'everything was alright' and stood and watched her staff most of the night. To the positives, Most of the meals were nice and the price was reasonable.

Never been really happy with any pizzas in London. Until we went to Rust Bucket! I was prepared to eat another sub-standard pizza but at the first bite of my salsiccia and friareli I realised this was different, this was the real deal! I had to talk to this shining star of a pizzaiolo and signalled him with big thumbs up. When he came closer he told me all about the care and expertise he puts into his pizza masterpieces - the high-quality types of flour and tomato sauce, the long proofing and the main ingredient: his passion for what he does. I can say more but, when food becomes art, words can’t do it justice. A presto!
