Rosmarino in Wandsworth

Real hidden gem. One of the best Italian restaurants I have been to outside of Italy (and the only one that has felt like real authentic Italian food) and some of the best pasta I have eaten. Highly recommend!! Lovely wine list too. I will be back many times in future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience! Fantastic place in every respect: delicious food, welcoming environment and impeccable service. Every detail is carefully taken care of, and you can perceive the passion of those who manage it. he won me over!

Excellent food, wide choice of wines and very nice place. Super recommended 😉

The restaurant is impeccable from all points of view. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and romantic, suitable for groups of friends, families or couples. The service, in addition to being quick, was perfect. We greatly appreciated the kindness and competence of the staff. The strong point of the restaurant, however, is undeniably the quality and variety of the menu which is always updated and taken care of down to the smallest detail. The choice of wines and cocktails is also wide and has recently been renewed. If I could I would leave 10 stars!

Really very nice place. The furnishings, furnishings, accessories, all very refined and elegant. As advised we booked to secure a table for dinner. Even though the place was fully booked, the dishes arrived quickly. For a starter we ordered three cocktails (recommended to us by the staff, a great choice) and the carpaccio of red Mazara prawns, Asian beef tartare and tomino coc Panko and we were left speechless by the quality and freshness of the products. As first courses we ordered the pici with braised pork ragout, lasagna with pumpkin, sausage with fennel and taleggio but the highlight was definitely the smoked spaghetti with shellfish bisque and red prawn tartare on stracciatella cream. Now full, we chose other After dinner cocktails to close the evening. The value for money is more than honest and we can't wait to return to Daria and Giovanni! We love you!

Best pizza in South London! Second time there, I have enjoyed it so much.

Always a really amazing Italian meal here. 10/10 pizzas and pasta dishes great too. Service never faulted. Can’t wait to go back!

5 star service, accompanied by outstanding authetic flavourful food. Pizza and pasta are phenomenal. Amazintg little spot. It is small but the quality is 100%! Dont give it a miss! Usually very busy so i would advise to book.

Amazing food and service, can’t fault it.

The food was excellent! Came with a friend to experience this Italian restaurant, the service was beyond perfect with excellent customer service. Highly recommend for any types of occasions. Special Thanks to Giacomo and Filippo ! Grazie

Incredible food, the most authentic Italian cuisine. The food was full with flavour, the best I’ve ever had!

Very nice and posh Italian restaurant. They managed to provide us with almost a private room for 14 people. The food was delicious and the staff was very courteous. A bit pricey but definitely justified!

Divine every single time ✨ Sublime 🌸

Este lugar es realmente inesperado. Ubicado en un desfile bastante ordinario de tiendas, se puede esperar comida ordinaria. ¡Qué equivocado estarías! El menú es italiano moderno y la comida es absolutamente brillante. Hay muy poco que comentar. El servicio es genial, en todas partes está limpio y los niños estaban tan bien cuidados como los adultos. Muy recomendable.

Fabulous neighborhood Italian. Service is always super friendly and we love the food! Last two times we've been we got seated without booking, but better to book; it always is crowded.

A fantastic local and authentic Italian restaurant. The staff were extremely accommodating and served us very quickly. They made some very good cocktails, which were a sign of things to come as the food was fabulous as well. The steak tartare was delicious with proper diced steak. The smoked spaghetti with prawn tartare as a main had amazing flavours and something I've not had before and would go back just for that dish.

Fantástico restaurante italiano local. Fuimos a comer el domingo con nuestros hijos y fuimos muy queridos después. La comida era deliciosa y un menú bien pensado. No podríamos haber fallado la experiencia. Súper personal también. Volveremos.

popped in there for a late lunch and it was just delicious. Very happy we randomly walked past when visiting the area.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Large portions, tasty food and lots of options for your meal. The staff is also very friendly and kind with the kids. We have visited this place a couple of times and it's easily one of our favourites. Five stars!

We went here for my birthday in 2022 and it was incredible. We decided to come back this year and we were not disappointed. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is incredible, everything we had was delicious and excellently presented. Even got some ice cream on the house because it was my birthday! 10/10 recommend for all occasions.

A MUST TRY RESTAURANT I found out about this gem in Tooting Bec. Great Italian cuisine, food is delicious, to be honest everything is superb! The product quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. Amazing service, Especially Alessia, great carisma and attitude, she also explained us the new menu as they change menu every season. The ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable, I highly recommend this business. 10/10

Exceptional restaurant, great atmosphere and amazing menu!

Very kind guys, really good food, I recommend it to everyone, the super professional manager Filippo,Waiting for the new menu

We were incredibly surprised on a random walk in to find such a hidden gem. Food was fantastic, wine was delicious, service was impeccable and atmosphere was busy despite a Tuesday which must be a good thing!

Amazing food and monkfish was superb !

We booked a table by phone and when we arrived they did not have our booking, despite the fact we had a record on our phone. The house white wine tasted like vinegar and my monkfish was overwhelmed by black olives and tough!! Altogether a VERY disappointing experience!!!

Such a fantastic place with exceptional food and great service. We ll be back for sure !

Nice restaurant with friendly staff, good Italian food but a little on the salty side

Amazing food and service! Alessia looked after as amazingly! Would strongly recommend Rosmarino! They also have really good gluten free options!

2 pizze: ingredienti autentici e super saporiti. Una pasta versione menù bambino (spazzolata). Due cannoli siciliani spettacolari. Locale super carino e accogliente. Personale gentile, educato e caloroso. Tutto molto pulito. Prezzi contenuti. Lo stra consiglio

Good service and atmosphere, average food

La pizza era horrible y el horno eléctrico seco finge ser napolitano y el propietario era absolutamente arrogante y capa imbaracing italiano creo que es el chef maestro en realidad sacando nuestra cita comida pretenciosa italiana

Horrible pizza horno de leña falso pizza se vende como comida pretenciosa real y cosas horribles comida de pescado se descongeló cosas sucias y groseras

Absolutely delicious pasta, can't wait to eat here again. Highly recommend the maloreddus ragu peposo (peppery meat sauce small shell pasta). Pizza and basil panna cotta were also well liked

Delicious pizza, friendly staff and a great atmosphere!

Una noche encantadora con amigos. Compartir entrantes entre nosotros y la gran variedad de opciones para el principal. Tuve el pez monje, que era simplemente increíble. El personal es tan encantador y las porciones generosas así que no seas codicioso

We have been coming back over and over to this delicious Italian restaurant . The food is excellent and the pizza is even better than many pizza places we have visited in Italy. The staff is always so friendly and helpful that we couldn’t recommend more.

Having just moved to Tooting Bec, we have been meaning to try Rosamarino and it didn't disappoint! We had such a lovely evening, the food was lovely and the staff were so attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening and see you again soon!

sono italiano, proprietari italiani, cibo buonissimo e uguale a quello italiano, cibo di ottima qualità, mi sento a casa

Reasonable tasty food, a wee bit too salty but great service. First visit but well impressed, will try again other dishes next time.

This is one of my regular places in Tooting and it’s made eating at other Italians so hard because it’s so brilliant. My partner is coeliac and they were amazingly accommodating with gluten free food. Unbelievable food, pristine service and relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious food in a delightful and friendly atmosphere. Amazing response for coeliac and gluten free dining. The staff didn't blink an eyelid at my coeliac request and were incredibly supportive.

The starters were poor the onion from tropea was a joke very poor to the point of being embarrassing i could not be bothered complaining the mains was good at best cutting to many conners and its showing

Staff are professional and very friendly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The food is fresh and tasty. Recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone who enjoys Italian food in the tooting bec area.

Incredible Italian food and value for money. Service was also brilliant. Can’t fault a thing - highly recommend.

I’m a regular customer and tried different foods in different times, their service and the quality never get changed. I recommend it to anybody who does love Italian foods.

Lovely food and fantastic service. They are always so accommodating and our children love it too. I had to fight them for the tiramisu! One of the best!

Decent food with excellent service. Virginia, the manager / waitress is so professional and such a warm host.

I’d recommend the pizza. Service was awfully slow. Waited over 30 mins for starters and then for mains. Wouldn’t recommend the sharing starter received.

Small portions, was expecting better for the price.

A superb Italian restaurant: great food, affordable prices and sophisticated staff, (none of the familiar obsequious service common in some Italian restaurants). It can be, a very popular place with groups of young ladies, all talking at the same time, with loud voices when sipping their 2nd glass of wine.

Interesting menu, excellent food a bit different than standard Italian fare

Honestly, I hesitate to review Rosmarino because I don’t want it to get *too* popular, it’s just the best. But the staff really deserve the highest reviews: it’s just a slice of heaven - great food, great service, great ambience.

We’ve eaten here a couple of times and I’ve never been overwhelmed by what I’ve ordered. Most recently had the seafood pasta and the scallops. The scallops were fried and actually quite good, the seafood pasta was just “ok” … nothing to die for. But the atmosphere here is lovely, it has a great energy during the evening, and the service is attentive.

Great food and service. They accept Bitcoin.

Food was delightful and well presented! The apple pie martini a must! The stools are a bit uncomfortable. (Will be much comfortable to have a higher stool to be at the same level as the bar at the window.)Will prefer to sit a the the table next vist. I'll be back

Had a family meal yesterday (Saturday) Atmosphere perfect and accommodating for kids. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly and happy to allow us to dine even thought the normally close at 3pm. Had the pork belly pizza with caramelised onions. Strange combination but it worked. Delicious! Thank you for a lovely meal.

This cute Italian restaurant delivers amazing dishes with generous portions. The friendly service adds to the cozy ambiance, although tables are a tad snug, nevertheless, it's a minor quibble in an otherwise delightful dining experience.

Really enjoyable date night. Thank you for making it tasty and having such good customer attention. Its busy guys so book in advance!

Lovely food, very sincerely warm service.

Best italian place South West London

Beautiful dinner here this evening. Gorgeous food with a range of Italian cuisine not always found in other more generic restaurants. Very attentive service, excellent, highly recommended.

Had a laughably awful meal here last night including being told to stand on the street for five minutes because they weren’t ready, a waiter repeatedly kicking my husband’s chair and an overcooked piece of fish that was almost inedible. Never again.

Ordered takeaway, received the wrong dish and the correct ones were of very poor quality and were thrown in the bin. The food is too hit and miss depending on who is working. No resolution or apology was given on my lengthy phone call with them. Appalling. Used to be good.

Had a lovely meal with friends there yesterday. They managed to accommodate an extra 4 of us at short notice. The food was excellent and good value, 12 empty plates tells its own story. Nice staff and ambience. Would recommend.

Came for Valentines and this may have detracted from their usual standards but it appeared they had far too many covers than they could handle, with the waiting staff rushed off their feet. It took a while for several couples to be seated. Once seated, again, quite a while to get a drinks and food order taken. There was also a big delay in courses coming out. The staff were friendly but they didn’t have much time to offer a relaxed service experience. They were also doing takeaway pizza deliveries and these kept being sent out via the main entrance. They could have done with that staff member focused on those dining in. As for the food, it was ok. The menu looked full of promise but it was a bit disappointing. The venison ragu, for example, lacked a depth of flavour and needed more seasoning. Like I said, the dining experience is probably much improved on other days, but on the busiest night of the year, they looked like they had bitten off more than they could chew.

Hate to be changing my previous good review to a bad one but the service and food we experienced tonight was shockingly bad. To start we had a joke of a starter… paid £16 for 2 scallops cut in half (see picture attached). For mains we had over cooked tuna linguine. Then after eating we waited 45 minutes for a waiter to serve us after giving us the dessert menu. When we explained that we had waited almost an hour to order dessert we got no apology, just an eye roll. From looking around the restaurant people were waiting ages just to be seated and served drinks & everyone was struggling to get a waiters attention. We had gone on Valentine’s Day but before 6 so the restaurant was not yet full… will not be returning.

We were in the room apart from the main space and felt rather forgotten, but the food and wine were great when they arrived. The deep fried dough wedges are delicious!

I have been here a few times and every time I have a great experience! Food is amazing, the restaurant has a great atmosphere and the staff is really friendly and professional!

Since the closure of Sorsi e Morsi, this place is officially the best pizza place in Tooting! EDIT TO UPDATE: I have now eaten in the restaruant and not only is it the best takeout pizza place in Tooting, it's also the best Italian restaurant too. Excellent wine selection by the carafe, delicious homemade pasta and great service from start to finish.

A lovely intimate restaurant which is obviously very popular with the locals. We’ve wanted to try this place for a while and glad we did! Warm atmosphere, attentive staff and nice food. Only dropping one star on the food as the dough ball starter weren’t very flavourful - the cheese accompaniment could be tastier. Thanks for a nice meal!

Lovely food, great service! Lots of interesting dishes on the menu.

Incredible food, very well priced for the quality and speed of food and service. Coats taken upon arrival and an aesthetically pleasing restaurant. Only reason for a 4 on the atmosphere was due to it being relatively loud with it being busy on nye and the music being a bit loud to start - otherwise brilliant.

Great selection of wines and pasta varieties. Beautiful presentation and fresh ingredients. Definitely I will go back more more times 😍

Lovely little restaurant near Tooting Bec tube. Food and ambience excellent Will definitely be back 😁

Excellent food and wine. Extensive wine list by region. Helpful and courteous staff. Great evening!

Possibly one of the best South London eateries going. Food is excellent and the wine list is the most extensive Italian I've seen - worth a visit just for that alone! Can't recommend highly enough.

Had a fantastic lunch here last weekend. Cosy little restaurant, beautifully decorated. The menu is full of exciting dishes, I can't wait to go back and try more. Excellent regional Italian wines. Highly recommend.

Excellent food, very cozy restaurant and the staff is very kind! I love their pizzas and pasta! Perfect for a Family dinner

Overall a great atmosphere and some wonderful starters. The buratta in particular alongside the bread with olive tapenade was amazing. The service was also very friendly and the general ambience in the place suited the authentic/fine dining feel this restaurant appears to be going for. Unfortunately however, the two pizzas we ordered as mains were not as expected. Clearly some ingredients were in short supply as the Genovese pizza which was meant to be served with small roast potatoes on top was instead served with frozen chips on top. The same could be said of the pork belly pizza which was substituted for small strips of bacon instead of cuts from the the pork belly which normally features as a main meal at this restaurant. The two images attached summarise the difference in quality between the starter and the main. Which is unfortunate given how good this meal could have been. The actual base of the pizza was lovely, I just can’t work out why frozen chips were decided as a substitute rather than simply telling us the item could no longer be provided. The service was great until we raised the fact we were confused as to why there was chips on the pizza which sadly appeared to have upset some staff members. Thankfully they did refund us for this Genovese Pizza

Lovely food, atmosphere, always refreshing menus, lovely staff. Highly recommend and will come again!

Absolutely smashing Italian restaurant just off Tooting Bec. The sweet pork pizza was pretty special as were the pasta dishes. Staff are super helpful and the buzz in the place is great.

I’d begun to suspect that this kind of restaurant didn’t exist anymore: a cosy, local independent where the food is prepared with skill & dedication, the wine is both excellent and affordable and the service is professional, attentive & welcoming. And to cap it all, it’s very reasonably priced. This place is a huge asset for the area. Long may they thrive. It’s certainly going to become a regular for us.

An absolute gem of Tooting! The food… excellent. Stay away from the Gnocchetti crema, it’s INCREDIBLE!!!! The menu has such a great variety of traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist! When we went the restaurant was pretty busy and waiting time for food was spot on, we had our starters and the mains came at the perfect time. Like wise with the deserts! The service was wonderful. Our waitress was so attentive and every recommendation was just perfect. The ambiance is so relaxing and chilled. Overall, incredible dining experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all FANTASTIC. We will be back again… and again!

The greatest restaurant in the area, Perfect atmosphere and incredibly tasty food. Highly recommend!!!

One of the best Italian restaurant in London as it offers an authentic Italian dining experience in a very welcoming atmosphere. The menu showcases a variety of traditional Italian dishes, from pasta to seafood and wood-fired pizzas. The attentive staff and knowledgeable servers enhance the dining experience, providing recommendations and ensuring a pleasant visit. Great selection of wines and interesting desserts available on the menu.

I don't usually go to Italian restaurants in London but i'm glad I went to this one. Staff very polite and professional, as Neapolitan I ordered a Sweet belly pizza which was something new to me and very delicious. We orderer in group different kinds of pasta that we tried from each plate and all of them were very good, so whatever you order in the menu you will be satisfied. Thank you guys for the nice experience, highly reccomend it

Absolutely exceptional dining experience! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure every need was met. The menu was a delightful blend of flavors. Each course was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly shone through. A must-visit for anyone seeking a top-notch culinary journey!

I have been here a few times. The food has been consistently good (nice pizza, lovely pasta and good selection of antipasti), however the service must be improved. Inattentive staff, lack of apologies for the delay in ordering and for items that never were served (we were blamed for not ordering them instead..).When the bill arrived we complained about the service and decided not to pay the optional service. As a result we were chased while we were already on the pavement outside the restaurant. Such a shame the poor service ruined an otherwise great evening.

This is a great restaurant and I feel bad to leave a poor review but the last two times we have ordered from there the food has been far too salty and the final time I could only manage to eat a quarter of the pizza. It’s a shame as I thought I’d discovered a bit of a gem and hopefully they will sort out the salt content but I don’t think I’ll be going there any more.

Absolutely fantastic - couldn't find a fault with it. Also very reasonable prices.

Spent a lovely evening at Rosmarino with friends. Modern yet cosy, great service and excellent food from starters to desert. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Lovely local Italian restaurant. The food is tasty and well presented and the service is attentive and friendly. The main room can get quite noisy, so better to go in the smaller one if you want a calmer atmosphere. Recommended.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service, but food was really not good. Stale bread, and then a flavourless gnocchi swimming in oil (think it must have been microwaved?). Was very disappointed.

A fantastic restaurant in the middle of Tooting Bec. Interesting menu and great service.

Delicious food and great service

I cannot believe I have not rated this place before now.. It is a true find in Tooting (Bec).. Truely the best Italian restaurant for miles.. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly.. I think it is owner operated (wife and husband) and you can tell. The food is out of this world.. We went the other night, and they had a new menu (pizza here is my go to, big and unbelievably good).. There was so much choice we took 15 minutes of discussion about everyone was going to have. Photo attached is Sweet Meat (fried pork belly on top of a mountain of gorgonzola). .. Quick update.. Went again last night and yet again it was awesome.. The food is amazing, but the service is exceptional as well.. Yes I am a fan boy, but it is well deserved praise.. We will be back again soon.

Amazing food, great service & atmosphere

i had a very good experience. Daria and her husband were amazing. The restaurant is in good position next to the station. The food is delicious.
