The best restaurants serving Italian food in Lambeth London

Food was good, but the worst service I have experienced anywhere - and the bar is pretty low. We were a brought the wrong first course b waitress cleared the table before my wife had finished eating c deserted and ignored for a full hour before the next course arrived. It was disgraceful - and such a pity , I have been using the shop for decades and it was my wife's birthday.

Finally - Streatham, a place once so bereft of opportunities for good food - has LO. It might not look like much from outside, but this place proves how delicious simple Italian pasta dishes really are. The menu is kept short and everything is homemade & fresh. pastas were exceptional, service was friendly, fun and personalised, we had red Peronis and tried a new digestif. Remember - if someone offers you pistachio gnochi for desert, bl**dy well say yes! Sweet.flavour.bomb 💣

What a great neighbourhood restaurant. So reasonably priced. Tasty food and friendly staff. Not flash or pretentious just a very comfortable atmosphere. Well worth visiting.

Lovely to see you guys at St Albans today. Thank you for the gorgeous Chocolate cake. Superb tasting and a generous slice. Quite simply delicious xx

Have been here in several occasions for lunch and have found it the best place in Tulse Hill for a sandwich. Only go if you have an appetite as they are huge - the pastrami or mackerel and beetroot one are highly recommended

I've been searching for the proper Italian gelato throughout London. While apartment hunting, accidentally found Emporium in Kennington that imports gelato from Naples. It was delicious!!! And the owner is extremely sweet, kind and was helpful in suggesting exploring a variety of flats in the area (she is a long time resident of Kennington). It's a great place to soothe one's sweet tooth and have a nice chat. Can't wait to return and taste some of the other flavors :)

Lovely cafe on Brixton high street. Nice to pick up a coffee after shopping they served hot food too thats eritrean and Ethiopian. A nice touch. I've gone there a few times and enjoy the warm hospitality and quality coffee. The cakes are sweet and soft too. Always delighted with the coffee and the cake choice. Definitely would recommend.

Without a doubt the best salt beef available in London! My partner and I ordered a reuben and a philly cheese steak and we were so happy! the salt beef in the reuben was cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth, and the philly cheese steak was just right - we ordered the option with the provolone cheese (they do offer american cheese too). We will 100% be ordering from here again!!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere is cozy, impeccably clean, and gives an authentic Italian charm. The wine selection was impressive, and it perfectly complemented the flavors of the evening. The food was absolutely delicious. I have to give special praise to the chef Dariusz for the lasagna with their special chili divinz oil. Fedorah, was a delight. She was incredibly kind, and attentive, ensuring every part of our experience was smooth and enjoyable. Favor, was a true professional. Not only was he knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, but his warm demeanor made us feel right at home. His service was prompt, thoughtful, and flawless. Roberto the owner is funny, genuine, and full of high spirits. His passion for the restaurant was evident in every interaction. The entire staff was caring and invested in making our evening memorable. The vibes were excellent from start to finish, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely cafe, with the warmest people and tastiest food. They have topnotch products, a real gem of a place.

The best pizza place ever!!! Made from scratch with a family welcome

Lovely atmosphere and nicely laid out. Very friendly staff, who talk with their customers when they have time, which is very good. Though nice, my pasta was a little bit hard, and just warm in places. The presentation of the food coming out of the kitchen was making us want to order more and more!!! 😋 Definitely recommend a visit, as we will definitely be going back again

Our food was so lovely here. Our waitress Amy was so attentive and helpful too. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant . Xx

AVOID, awful place. The food was bland and not nice at all, my arancina was burnt on the outside and cold on the inside, very unpleasant. The icing on the cake is how rude the staff is, when I requested the service charge to be removed (service was not nice and unfriendly) the member of staff argued and refused to remove despite me asking at least 5 times and explaining that it is discretionary and NOT compulsory as per the law (eventually was removed). Very unpleasant experience.
