Simm e Napule in Merton

We have had 2 amazing experiences at this restaurant. Once with family and the other for a 29th birthday where they went above and beyond with gorgeous food and excellent hosting. The experience is not one to be forgotten and we hope to return soon.

My husband and I visited this wonderful restaurant for the third time last week, each time we’ve been with different friends all of whom loved it. Giuseppe is very welcoming and goes out of his way to ensure people have a great meal; he should be proud of what he has to offer. The food was so fresh and tasty, the wine delicious, the decor charming. Thoroughly recommended!

Today Sunday I really felt to stay in Naples , I never had the pleasure as today that was Having a lunch, home style ! The service is a classic ‘Neapolitan’ way, The food cooked with passion Same your mamma does for you every day , made with traditional and basic ingredients Which brings back the taste and memories from far away home.

This is the best family run Italian restaurant I have ever eaten in. What an incredible gem of a place! So friendly and welcoming, this feels like a family Sunday family lunch rather than eating in a restaurant (in a good way!) - I live around the corner and have been many times.. I never get tired of the amazing, tasty, well priced food and great hospitality. The food itself is sent from the Italian food gods themselves.. it’s that good! The pasta is al dente, fresh - just perfect and the special seafood pasta is one of the best dishes you can eat anywhere. This is authentic Italian food done right. Wine and beers are also cracking. Nelly and Beppe / Giuseppe are amazing hosts. So kind and friendly - they can’t do enough for you. Can’t recommend this place enough! A little bit of Naples heaven in tooting!

What an unexpectedly fantastic lunch. We turned up with no expectations and no reservation . Its run by a family from Naples and the cooking is about as authentic as you can get all freshly cooked and totally delicious. They are also so friendly and welcoming . A must visit we need more of this sort of restaurant.

Great food & wine served with the care, love and warmth of a family. Great selection of freshly made bruschetta, including garlic free ones for those who, like me, can’t eat garlic. We were presented with several options for pasta, including squid ink seafood linguine AMAZING and trofie with salsiccia, mushrooms & truffle. Thank you Nelly & Beppe for making us feel at home.

I loved everything about this restaurant; the authentic Italian nature, the atmosphere, the service, and the food! It was so nice and refreshing to feel like you could take your time and enjoy every moment in the true European fashion. Also it’s run by the most lovely people, they had just got back from holiday so didn’t have much drink options so he popped to the shop and got some more at no extra cost, makes my heart melt! The bruschetta was gorgeous and the fried pizza was unlike anything I’ve tasted before and I loved it. We’ll certainly see you again 🇮🇹

We had supper here last night and I wish we were going again tonight. The seafood pasta was divine as was the lasagne which was light as a feather as made with little meatballs and you just want it to go on for ever! We shared the 'pud' and I had to fight the other two off, pushing their forks out of the way so I could have more than my fair share. I would love to have this restaurant closer to where I am in SW11 although if we did, I would never eat at home. Thank you Giuseppe and the fabulous Nelly for another fab meal.

Attended a few weeks ago and have been dying to return ever since! The warm and welcoming host was attentive and very knowledgeable. The whole atmosphere is familial and felt special -- we were introduced to his wife (the chef) and daughters (the waitresses) which we thought a lovely touch. We ate delicious deep-fried pizza (which we'd never had). Afterwards two fresh baked desserts -- a cheeskace and a tiramisu. Out of this world. Washed down with Italian wine, Napoli liqueurs, and a digestif. can't wait to go back

Amazing authentic food and an amazing couple. I can’t get the word out enough about how everyone should go here! The best bruschetta I have ever had, gnocchi to die for and the a dessert that I dream about. The couple not only put up a balloon for the birthday we were celebrating, but they even wrote a card and made the whole evening that just bit more special. You leave wanting to go back instantly!

Well, my kids booked a table here for my birthday on Sunday evening. It’s the kind of place where you could easily walk past it and not pay much attention. This would be a mistake. The food here isn’t just generically Italian but very specifically Neapolitan. And what food it is too. It’s owned and run by a wonderful Italian couple that make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The menu isn’t particularly large but everything that I tasted was authentic, tasty and perfectly proportioned. And not only had they put up a birthday balloon for me but they also very kindly gave me a birthday card too. Can’t wait to go back here!

What a revelation! If you ever wandered how it feels to visit family in Italy this is your answer! The most amazing welcome to a family run restaurant I have experienced in a long time. Small (only 7 tables) but very cosy place with softly played Italian music and walls adorned with pictures of Sofia Loren and other stars. Delicious home cooked food....we were served with tasty bruschetta and antipast followed by huge vat of seafood pasta and good wine( very reasonably priced!). But the quality of tiramisu and family’s recipe cheesecake was simply outstanding! HIGHLY recommend the visit!

It’s the kind of place you find off the tourist track and frequented by locals in Italian cities. It’s a genuinely friendly place providing good quality food at reasonable prices. They are proud of the food they produce and are eager to explain the origins of their dishes. They also have a good selection of Italian wines and beers. We had a lovely evening.

Tooting is full of gems and this is one of them.We were given a warm welcome, the menu was explained in great detail.The food,drink,atmosphere and staff wonderful.

Today I went to eat with my friends in this restaurant for the first time,I was really happy the place is really nice it seems to be at home,the owners Beppe and Antonella are really and lovely person. I recommend this place to everyone ,the food is great and delicious. I will be back very soon Thank you Rosaria & Rita

Since we lived in London (4 years), we were going around to find a tasty place of our traditional Neapolitan food. Then we found this place SIMM E’ NAPULE! What can I say about it, just amazing maybe is the right word to explain how...

What a place, so welcoming and the food is of incredible quality. Italian food cooked with love and passion. Highly recommend!

6 of us ate on a Tuesday evening. The welcome was warm and the food freshly cooked and full of authentic flavors of Naples. The prices of food and wine are very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Excellent family run Italian restaurant! Delicious homemade Neapolitan food at a great price. Warm and welcoming owners. You won't be disappointed.

Beppe and Antonella just treat you like you were in Italy, part of their Family. Antonella cooks, Beppe take care of you. Laughs and Amazing homemade food is the leitmotiv of this Family business. We have been their 4 times in the past 2 months...
