I am only marking this badly because our table was cancelled that afternoon because they couldn’t fit us in. You shouldn’t let us book if the table is not available. I went to speak to caminata and they were polite and apologetic, however it did leave us in a mess on a Saturday night as it was too late to book a table somewhere then and it was for a birthday meal. I usually really like caminata.

Nagyon finom volt a pizza, mint ahogy a Lasagne is. Pörgős, olaszos, kedves kiszolgálás mellett. Érdemes asztalt foglalni, mert hétköznap este is tele van az étterem.

Always good food and friendly service! Menu offers a good selection of dishes but pizza is my favourite by far. It has become a popular spot in Balham recently. Always full.

The food was amazing and fresh, the pasta is made fresh in the restaurant and tasted divine. The surroundings were quaint and authentic. The service from the moment you step in is 10/10, whether its giving recommendations to attention to detail and quick service, this was a really lovely restaurant to eat at, I was thoroughly surprised.

Nice ambience in the restaurant, but tables very close together. Food was good but nothing special, and a bit expensive for what you got. Melanzana nice but aubergines slightly chewy. Seafood pasta not as fresh as it could have been. Good beef carpaccio. Service fine, but perfunctory. Overall decent meal but left slightly underwhelmed.

Service was outstanding, so helpful and fast. Almost too many delicious sounding options on the menu, I'm just going to have to keep going until I've tried them all. The restaurant was recommended to me by someone who had lived in the area and I was not disappointed. It was made even better by the fact it's on tastecard.

All in all, I couldn't fault the food, or the service. But I asked for my pizza to be made on the new charcoal dough, and unfortunately this request was forgotten about. Also, i believe they use garlic oil instead of garlic butter, and it meant the garlic bread wasn't that 'garlicy.' I'll definitely be back though, as the waiter was very apologetic about my pizza, and took it off the bill.

Great pasta, with a decent range of vegetarian choices. We were left alone too, not pressured to leave quickly. Maybe the desserts could be more varied or imaginative. A really good local restaurant.
