The best restaurants serving Italian food in Grove Kingston upon Thames London

Place for a longer leisurely meal - it is all cooked from scratch but so worth the waiting for. Taken over by new owners about 18-months ago, a young gent and lady. Both very welcoming. Had squid ink pasta and prawns and sea food linguine - good size serving and just delicious. Prawns clearly fresh. Good crepe afterwards also. Will be going back. Two mains, one drink and one crepe £40.

Amazing sandwiches and coffee! Expensive at first sight, but packed with delicious ingredients and enough for two! Well worth a visit.

Wonderful tasting night event with phenomenal food!

The food we ordered was spectacular and was quick and efficient. Our waitress was a very kind lady who really took care of us whilst we were there and was really helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone else visiting Kingston.

3rd time I came to this restaurant with my family this weekend and it’s always a pleasure! Love the atmosphere and the food, the view of the river is unparalleled in Kingston

The best sea bass food I have ever had. The staff were friendly and attentive. We were a party of 12 friends celebrating my birthday . They all loved the music and food. Great place for celebrations.

Really good food, just a shame the padded seating is looking tatty in places.

Waited at the door for 15 minutes (no one was behind us or ahead of us) while a staff member there kept telling us he would be with us in just a moment. Then when he got to us he told us they aren’t taking any new customers as the kitchen was backed up. If you weren’t going to seat us then why did you make us wait at the door for 15 minutes? Could’ve just told us when we walked in.

Great experience, good food, warm welcome

I went to pizza express to take away some dough balls before me and my son go to movies . So I popped in for take away. Me and my son were waiting by the door and 2 staff passed by a few times and even made eye contact but they all ignored us and didn’t come to serve us until I was shouting to one of the waitress and saying excuse me for a few times and then she came to us. I asked her why nobody here seems to receive customers and she said she was cleaning the table. Her attitude was she didn’t care at all. I asked is this the way you treat other customers or just me? And she asked me do you want to talk to my manager? That was her response. I talked to the manager and my 12 years old son was complimented how he handled the situation because earlier he went to the staff and asked for someone to come to us. The manager said sorry for the under trained staff. It was very bad experience even though all we asked for was just a take away order. I suggest to not go dine there. There are always a few people who have a bad attitude that makes other people look bad. I feel sorry for the people who work there with them.

Having been to the Carluccios in Richmond recently, the Bentall’s branch in Kingston felt like the poor cousin. The portion sizes of food were smaller and the staff serving were not attentive and kept trying to push add ins like a salad or bread. We were not enthralled and having been going there for years and years, it sadly is not how it used to be. The penne Giardinea, their signature dish, you have to find the courgette balls! Tiny and sparse. This used to be such an incredible dish.

In kingston PE. Lovely waitress called Saayeh was very nice and welcoming to me. All the staff here are incredibly friendly.
