The best restaurants serving Italian food in Croydon London

Visited my local Ponte Nuovo for my 50th in 2014 and this year for my 60th. Food and service was as fantastic this year and every time I have visited. I invited 15 family members and we has a room to ourselves which was intimate. As I work near, I visit frequently. I would recommend this restaurant.

Amazing spot for a weekend brunch. Staff are fantastic and service was faultless. Thank you Connor and JC for an fantastic afternoon x

Always great food, fresh and tasty, cooked to perfection. Very friendly place to go for a bit of food, coffee and a bit of chat in your 12 o'clock break.

Brillante joya del barrio, un restaurante “fuera de lo común” en Kensington con un interesante menú de temporada. Tarifa de alta calidad , lugar fresco y oferta a precios muy competitivos para este barrio

We have stopped here for lunch a few times on our way back from a cycle ride in the North Downs as it is the best option between Leith Hill and Teddington. For history buffs the church just across the road is where Barnes-Wallis is buried.

'Gizzards on a stick' and 'Normal beans' were very nice. service was friendly. Good value, would go again.

Went here for a birthday lunch. I'm so glad we did. Food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were plentiful. Staff were polite and friendly from the minute we walked in to the minute we left. Very attentive as well. Everyone in the group left very satisfied and very full. If you haven't been here before, I would recommend you try it.

A go to Italian in Croydon - Ponte Nuovo I've been to Ponte Nuovo in Croydon quite a few times now. My family and I were invited to a 100th and 90th birthday celebration this past year (2024). I've met my school friends there and had quite a few family lunches. I recommended the restaurant to my Mother's friend to celebrate her 90th Birthday after we had been to the 100th birthday luncheon at the start of the year. I was initially nervous recommending the restaurant, in case it did not meet her or her guests' expectations. My mother's friend was very worried about hosting a birthday luncheon for various reasons, but she now looks back with only fond and wonderful memories of the 90th birthday celebration she had there. The restaurant delivered in spades! She had a fantastic time and her guests LOVED the food. The decor is very modern and the food is fantastic. The portions are very generous and the food is cooked to perfection. We are always absolutely stuffed, when we leave the restaurant. The Manager recognises our family now and always greets us warmly. We were a little cheeky when we last visited the restaurant. We asked for a prawn starter which wasn't on the menu. We had it on another occasion and they kindly cooked it for again us. It was delicious. I'm not sure we needed it as we were so full after the main course, but we managed to fit in a dessert too. It is a really great place for celebrations, to spend quality time with friends or family over a wonderful meal. We love this restaurant! We would not hesitate to recommend it for that special occasion.

Very nice coffee fresh juice and lovely sandwiches! I drive from Warlingham to have a coffee there. Proper Italian coffee.

Antonio the owner is very pleasant and the coffee is high quality. You need to ask for what you want as there is no show case to choose.

Ordered from here a few times. The food is always delicious.

My favourite cafe in Crystal Palace. Friendly atmosphere, great service, a wide variety of lovely food and coffee and excellent value.

Went to Bagatti's early Friday evening, Was made very welcome as usual, had the carpaccio beef starter which was very tasty follow by the best lasagne eve, washed down with a couple beers and finished off with a fantastic Tia Maria coffee. Nice see Peter Bagatti is still around and that Geogeio has kept this excellent restaurant serving great Italian food.

A little out of the way and not that welcoming from outside but once inside it is truly wonderful. The welcome the food and the wine , everything go well together A must visit if you are in the area

Aunque la señalización aún está activa, Tomatinos ahora es parte del bar de tapas de al lado. Extremadamente confusas, puertas separadas, pero cuando te acercas a lo que se anuncia como Tomatinos, dice ¡entra por la otra puerta, que es el restaurante de tapas! Una vez dentro te dan 2 menús. Uno es pizza y otro tapas. Servicio lento y confuso, pedimos vino pero no lo tenían, ya que parece que no están reordenando nada en el menú de bebidas de Tomatinos, sino usando el caldo de las tapas. Todo fue un poco impredecible. El horno de leña para pizzas está en el lado ahora vacío del restaurante, así que nos decepcionó. Cuando llegaron las pizzas, sorprendentemente rápido teniendo en cuenta el tiempo que nos llevó tomar nuestro pedido y que llegara el vino, estaban muy buenas. Base fina y crujiente, mi tipo favorito y muy generosamente rematado. Se sentía caótico, pero ahora sabemos qué esperar, volveríamos ya que las pizzas estaban buenas.
