The best restaurants serving Italian food in Merton London

Hemos tenido 2 experiencias increíbles en este restaurante. Una vez con la familia y la otra para un cumpleaños número 29, donde fueron más allá con una excelente comida y un excelente alojamiento. No se puede olvidar la experiencia y esperamos volver pronto.

We always enjoy our trips to Wine and Love with its warm welcome, friendly atmosphere and excellent wine and food. Snacks/ quick eats rather than full meals (small kitchen) but is now starting to offer a lovely pasta bolognese. Always a pleasure sitting outside in summer or enjoying a chat with Emanuella and Sasha inside.

Como ha señalado alguien más aquí, en un mundo de cadenas de tiendas y supermercados, esto es un placer poco común. Una variedad decente de alimentos básicos, pero lo que es el verdadero placer son las cosas caseras: pan, incluida una deliciosa focaccia, pizza, salsas, pasteles, todo hace que un viaje valga la pena. ¡Y venden latas frías de Chinotto! !

The patio serves many dishes worthy of any top rated restaurants,also the coffee is of the highest of quality, this cafe/restaurant is a jewel and the locals are extremely lucky to have such an establishment.

Visited on 31/01/2025 for the joint birthday of my mum and niece. We were greeted with such warmth and enthusiasm, you knew instantly you were going to be taken care of. Our server was extremely friendly and she made sure that our every need was tended to. The prices for food is more than reasonable, the portions are huge, and the taste? Bellissimo! Thank you for making my mum and niece feel like a Queen and princess on their birthdays. It was nice place to have a family gathering. The lamb shank and the sea bass was AMAZING - (there was so much on the plate I was able to share and sample something else) Thank you and see you again soon!

top food and amazing staff 10/10

Tuve mucha suerte de visitar este restaurante una y otra vez que no decepcionó. Pizza increíble con una base muy delgada - no he probado nada de eso en otros restaurantes. Quattro formmagi es una necesidad!

Wide menu and lots to choose from. Pizzas, pasta and selection of meat dishes. Friendly proprietor. We always have attentive service. Regular visitors

NOT TEMPORARILY CLOSED. JUST CLOSED FULL STOP. BEEN CLOSED AGES.

Restaurante acogedor con buena comida. Estábamos llegando tarde y llamamos con anticipación, el encantador caballero dijo que no era un problema. Tuvimos una mesa encantadora con uno de habitación, ya que tuvimos 2 bebés y un niño, así como 3 como. Fueron muy serviciales en la calefacción de alimentos para los bebés. El servicio fue excelente y trajeron la comida del niño por delante, que era genial. Solo una pequeña crítica fue que el niño quería más pasta, sin salsa y nos cobraron por otra comida infantil completa solo por un poco de pasta. Los adultos todos tenían pizzas que eran fantásticos. En general una gran experiencia y espero volver si estamos visitando la zona de nuevo.

Así que pensé que este café sería encantador para un café de bienvenida. Café era genial. Sin embargo La señora de cabello oscuro que servía caminaba por ahí sacando comida del mostrador y comiendo. Comer sobre la comida en el mostrador en exhibición. Tomar varias piezas de comida y caminar por ahí comiendo. Dedos en la boca y luego reordenar el pan en el gabinete. No es higiénico en absoluto. Caminando hacia arriba y hacia abajo detrás del mostrador recogiendo varias cosas de comida y empujándole en la boca. Asqueroso. Un cliente le preguntó si se había lavado las manos. No lo hizo. Aparte de esto. Amistoso, pero no volveremos.

Went Saturday 9th March. The food was great, the waiter provided a lovely service and the restaurant had a nice vibe. Compliments to the staff.

Disappointing Valentine’s Dinner We went for a Valentine’s dinner, and unfortunately, it was a complete disaster. We ordered two cocktails: a dry martini and an espresso martini. The dry martini was served in a whiskey glass with ice—completely wrong for this classic drink. The espresso martini tasted watery and artificial, as if it had come from a bottle rather than being freshly made. For my main course, I ordered the chicken risotto, but what arrived was a dry, unappetising blob of rice with bland boiled chicken and overcooked asparagus. To top it off, I wasn’t even offered any cheese. My partner had the snapper, which he described as just about edible—only because it had spices, something not typically found in authentic Italian cuisine. The service felt rushed, and it was clear that the priority was getting diners in and out as quickly as possible rather than providing a quality experience. It seemed like the owner was more focused on maximising profits than ensuring guests had an enjoyable evening. A Valentine’s dinner I will never forget, but sadly for all the wrong reasons.

We decided to go despite having already eaten since we have to catch a flight of several hours, the fact is that in order not to get too full we ordered two menus without dessert for 18 pounds, the bacon salad was delicious, it is not very filling but for a person is fine as a starter. We ask the waitress that the meat be without spices or creams, everything separately. The food arrives and one of the plates has the breast full of sauce and the waitress argues that we have indicated that only one of the two dishes comes with everything on the side, I accept that it may be my mistake. The other meat dish, the one that she herself said we only indicated to her, had nothing but the meat… it only tasted like pepper. I don't know if it's because we ordered little (we had already eaten and we just wanted to ensure the flight without hunger) or he saw us looking like tourists, but the treatment has been borderline distant and cold. The salad is recommended, and if you like pepper instead of ordering meat there is a Tesco 50m away where pepper is cheaper.

They took ages to make two margaritas and one of them was very disappointing. The extra paid for artichokes were hardly visible, just some tiny ones scattered over. The organic tomatoes were just canned tomato sauce. The pizzas arrived ice cold and it was not the fault of the delivery person. The piece of hazelnut chocolate cake was just a tiny brownie. Everything tasted okay after heating it up again but not worth the money
