The best restaurants serving Italian food in Croydon London

We went to Crystal Palace memory box for brunch - good service and food was lovely Great vibe and venue to catch up with friends would defo recommend Thanks for JC and Connor 👍👍👍

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.

It was such a lovely stay, me and my boyfriend loved it here. Small family owned restaurant and amazing food front he chef ! Even got a cheeky picture with us

Se acabó la caballa, pero la merluza sustitutiva se cocinó a la perfección; el asado dominical fue como siempre delicioso. Feliz de tener helado de chocolate de postre y esperando con ansias el helado de café en el futuro. Ambos deberían estar en el menú siempre. Gracias. El restaurante estaba bastante lleno hoy con residentes, que era agradable de ver.

Visited Ponte Nuovo on 26th February with family. Had not been for quite a while, but was still as good as ever. Staff, particularly Roland, were fantastic and food was amazing. Experience was enjoyed by us all. Will be back again soon. Thank you.

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.

The atmosphere & care of the husband & wife, as owners, are caring & very attentive. The food & beverages (etc) are heavenly in taste and in their prices. You see regular customers (especially families) in their resprctive times to come & go. This place is perfect , the reason i come regularly and always recommended to my friends, co- workers & my family. DR. Melvin E. de Guzman Customer

This Italian restaurant I have not visited the first time, every time he gave me a feeling of home and his food temperature is very adequate because I am a person who likes food temperature adequate people there people greet polite feeling warm, the most recent only two days ago and a good perk so this is an Italian restaurant highly recommended

A proper oasis for Italians, proper food, great selection of panini and pastries and probably the best coffee you can get outside of Italy! Antonio is a great host and highly professional and I guess this help the extremely chill and friendly atmosphere in his premises. He also makes amazing Neapolitan pizza every Friday in traditional way and fine ingredients. On behalf of all Italians here in Surrey: thank you for being here! Valentino

Best coffee shop 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.

Ordered a takeaway. Spaghetti n carbonara that came out of its foil container like brick. Had to be broken up with a fork. Few bits of fatty chewy gammon bits in each one. Pizza with very little meat, cheese like a sheet of rubber and a soggy bottom. Very disappointing as having eaten in house I was expecting better.

Cozy coffee shop with tasty pastry. Very friendly staff.

A group of 8 of us had booked for 7pm on a Friday night. As we arrived in the dingy, dirty looking dining room we were barely acknowledged. The young, oblivious (and I assume very cheap) waiting staff were painfully slow and unobservant, and we had to chase them to take a drinks order. We then waited 20 minutes for said drinks, only for half of our order to be missing. We were seated right in front of the bar, and there were only a couple of other occupied tables. We asked if we could place our food order, only for the waitress to rudely gesture for us to wait while she took the orders of two other tables that had arrived after us. It was now 8pm, and after an hour of waiting politely we had seen enough. We asked for the bill and at this point one of the more senior waiters asked if he could take our order, but we couldn't wait to leave. (So we did, and had a delicious meal at Crystal, the excellent Persian restaurant just across the road from Bagatti's) I cannot comment on the food here as we didn't get to try it, but based on first impressions, the state of the restaurant and the appalling service, I can't imagine it's up to much. Bagatti's has been a Croydon landmark for many years, but it sadly appears to be a shadow of its former self.
