Balham Restaurants

Very nice food and staff. Would definitely visit again!

Absolutely amazing. The food was incredible and the service spot‑on. We sat upstairs, completely private, and the staff were fantastic. Patatas bravas, calamares, croquetas — everything was perfect.

Our first visit, and a really nice experience. Although the location is in the less salubrious part of Balham, it was never the less, a welcoming place, old fashioned Italian service at it's best, friendly and efficient. Preces are eminently fair in this day and age, as were the prices on their wine list. Quality ingredients were used, most dishes hit the mark. Chargrilled tuna, rocket and baby tomatoes were cooked perfectly, as ordered, a dish of mussels and clams, overcooked. When we were asked if all was fine, we told them about the mussels being overcooked and they then offered us a free glasses of wine, nice touch. The pasta is all home made and looked great, we didn't have any of the pasta dishes but the diners next to us testified to theirs being very good indeed. Portions are generous, we skipped dessert.

The food is amazing. Waiter was great despite being on his own. Some more attention to the wines in the cooler vs the ones listed would be great.
