Nice food and great service. Very helpful and friendly staff. The porttions could be more generous a bit. A sign is missing to guide you to the toilet, I suppose. Cloth napkins would give the atmosphere a more classic atmosphere and obviously a more comfortable experience.

A warm welcome even though we were a bit late for our reservation. Busy, buzzy and yet relaxed atmosphere. A small menu but it still packed plenty of variety. Uncomplicated authentic Italian food. Will definitely return

Customer service was absolutely superb. The environment is decent and friendly atmosphere. Food was fairly prized. A wonderful night out with my birthday daughters. The even offered to put a candle on the cake and to top it off, Simon ( of the waiters) also cut the cake for all the six of us. A truly wonderful experience.

Lovely neighbourhood restaurant near Balham tube station. Welcoming staff, great menu, delicious food! Added bonus that they take tastecard, but very reasonably priced without. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely evening, we went with our 3 children at 7pm on Saturday night and we all loved it. The fresh pasta was fantastic and the children pretty much licked their plates clean. The waiter was lovely and friendly and there was a real Italian holiday feel, so pleased it’s now our local, we will be back v soon!

Nice little Italian in the heart of Balham. We shared a couple of starters which were lovely and then o had a past a dish and a dessert. Potion sizes aren’t huge (if you’re really hungry you’ll definitely need a starter) but adequate food to feel comfortable after. Would return again

Fantastic service and atmosphere. The food is incredible, with freshly made pasta. I would also recommend the chocolate cake/fondant, homemade and I can say its the best fondant I have ever had.

Went as a group of 7. Really impressed by the food and the friendly staff in general. The only downside was that after being there for 2 hours we were told we had to leave because other people were waiting. This felt a bit rushed and the way it was said was unnecessarily blunt and rude. If the sittings are two hours that’s fine but that should be made clear at the start!

Margarita pizza that my friend and I had was great but lasagna my other friend had was a little small. The service was great but the place was a bit too hot (although it was pretty hot outside that day in general).

First time, friends get together. Cosy restaurant, liked the vibe. Food was good but nothing I would go back for. We did not have salt & pepper on the table and had to ask other diners for some. Overall an ok experience.

Great meal and good service, food was delicious - seating in one side was a little low though, so we had to move our two tallest (table for 4) to sit on the bench as it was a bit low against the table!

Lovely meal and service. Staff were very polite and friendly. The entire family enjoyed every bit if their meals from starters to main course and even the afters. The homemade strawberry flavoured ice cream was very very tasty! I would definitely recommend.
