Friendly, buzzy neighbourhood Italian. Really good fresh crispy calamari. Simple, unfussy tasty pasta. And a really white excellent chocolate fondant. The wine last is a little short but the Vermentino we had was rather good value and overall the evening did not break the bank. Well worth a visit for a relaxed meal with friends and family.

Great food and great service. My only complaint is that we were sat near the door and as they had so many deliveroo deliverys people were in and out and it was freezing! Also meant my food got cold very quickly as well.

Disappointing second visit. Garlic prawns without garlic and fried carrot in the calamari.?? Also the portion size of the calamari was much smaller. Giuseppe wasn't there so maybe things slipped.

Very good Italian restaurant - lots of competition in Balham, but really high quality authentic Italian food. Black pizza bases (with charcoal) are especially nice.

Excellent food and a great atmosphere. Only advise I can offer to any potential diners is to sit away from the doors, it can get very chilly if you are sat right next to the central doors. Not the fault of the restaurant, just an observation.

As always the food here is very good. On arrival it always feels as though it may be a bit cramped and busy but once you are seated it all works very very well. Feels like a family-run outfit which I like.

The atmosphere was buzzing and the staff were lovely. The pizza that I ordered was too much for me (I have a small appetite) and they instantly agreed to cut it in half and box it up for me to take away. The other half was delicious! My friend had pasta which he thought was very good and his Tiramasiu was eaten very quickly....definitely recommend this and will be going again for sure.
