Caminata

The staff are lovely, the food is absolutely delicious, there's also a good choice of wine on the list too. It's a lovely environment and we thoroughly enjoyed a special family meal there. Can't wait to visit again!

Lovely restaurant interior and you can sit outside as well on lovely sunny days. Food took a bit long to prepare but once we had our meal it was gorgeous!

Second visit to Caminata. The meal and service was excellent. Sour dough pizza's are really nice and authentic. Will definitely return. Pricing is also reasonable.

It's really difficult to make a decision about what to eat at this restaurant as everything sounds amazing! We weren't disappointed as the food was amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend.

Great pizza and good service, plus the wine list offers something for all tastes. Very good location, only a few minutes walk from Balham station. We'll be back!

Caminata is a good local restaurant - the food was good and it had a lovely atmosphere - staff were friendly and efficient. We would visit here again.

Just one word - SUPERB!! Quite honestly one of the very best meals we have ever had. The food was to 'die for' whatever we had, Gamberoni All’aglio, Calamari Fritti, Rabbit Casarecce - Homemade Fresh Tagliatelle Pasta, Piscatory Fresh Seafood Linguine, Fresh Tagliatelle Pasta with Prawns. All of it was beautifully cooked and presented with super flavours. Front of House was also outstandingly excellent with very attentive, friendly, and overly welcoming service. All-in-all, a superb evening. We will return!! (Living down in Bournemouth, can you please open another restaurant down here!)

Never fails to impress, with great specials and quality food what is not to love! The staff are fantastic too! Will

Very good homemade food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Looking forward to visiting again at some stage. Free parking after 7pm I think down one of the side streets.

this is a great, small Italian restaurant in Balham. The food is excellant and great vulture for money. The service is very good and the staff very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and huge portions for really excellent value. The starters were amazing, especially the prawns, and the drinks were good value. Definitely recommend.

Fab food (home made tagliatelle!) and great service from Giuseppe! Can't believe that after 11 years in South London I've not been to Caminata before!

Very good little home cooked Italian in Balham. Nice design and atmosphere in the restaurant. delicious food with quick service and polite staff. Would defiantly go again.

Lovely food, friendly service, perfect evening. I have only found Caminata recently and have visited so often that I've tried practically everything on the menu! Never been disappointed and they have updated the menu regularly so I can always try something new or go back to my old favourites. I recommend the Gnocchi :)

Really tasty food and good service. Amazing you can use the Tastecard promotion too as it makes it more than a fantastic value for money.

Lovely staff, didnt rush us, delicious food, offered a suitable alternative for our wine choice that was out of stock. The restaurant seemed full quite early, hence a very popular choice. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service, great restaurant always very popular amongst people who live in Balham. Takes tastecard which is great Would definitely recommend you go

Great service, lovely food and nice to see a local restaurant so busy on a school night - that says something I think! Decent wine list as well.

I highly recommend Caminata to all - lovely authentic Italian food, reasonably priced menu with decent portion sizes and the restaurant has a great ambience

Amazing staff and fantastic home cooked food. Would highly recommend this place any day of the week has an amazing atmosphere. And great limoncello also!

Very friendly and the garlic cheesey pizza bread was yummy, we were very well looked after by the waiters. Best Italian in Balham and good value for money (large portions).

Best Italian food ever!!!! Great service very attentive and get potions and element value for money. This has become me fav Italian in town! Thank you

was extremely good value for money on the tastecard. would definitely go again! Tasty welcoming friendly place that delievered food in a timely manner with a smile

The service was excellent. As Italian food goes, this has definitely been the best tasting and there is plenty of choice on the menu. I would recommend this place if Italian is your thing.

Delicious food and good portion sizes. Great ambience and decor in the restaurant, and bathrooms. Staff were friendly enough. The house red was good too!

I have been here many times and the food is always delicious, the service amazing and the staff always very friendly. I would definitely recommend you go to Caminata!

Very pleased to have found this place. we arrived at 6.15pm and it filled up very quickly, so its obviously very popular. Nice food, good wine, pleasant staff, lovely atmosphere. Recommended.

Such a lovely little authentic Italian restaurant. Great food and wine.

As always fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere, brilliant welcoming and friendly staff as well as great value. Best restaurant in Balham, and certainly the best independent Italian restaurant in SW London.

Great restaurant - friendly staff, amazing food and a beautiful little restaurant. I dine at Caminata frequently and am always impressed. Generous portion sizes too and decent house wine

They are very kind and the food was so good. I want to go again. Pasta and pizza were so amazing. I recommend you to go and you wont regret.

A Beautiful little authentic Italian restaurant. The staff are really attentive and the food is freshly made and delicious. I am already planning my next visit! A great place to go for a romantic meal.

Fab food. Great Service. Lots of choice on menu, including always changing specials. Will definitely be going again! Always enjoy the dining experience at Caminata.

Evening in Caminata was a great experience, staff was very friendly and helpful with menu selection, food was very good and waiting time very short. i would recommend Caminata to all my friends

We had some delicious food here, especially the pasta. Excellent, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Greeted with a very warm welcome; somewhere I would highly recommend.

Lovely chilled atmosphere, the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and the food... WONDERFUL!

Great food and great atmosphere! Love this place, would highly recommend!

Great little place in Balham, perfect for a bank holiday meal with the family. We had a few issues with ordering drinks (they didn't seem to have anything we wanted - no house red wine) but everything else was great. The food was delicious!

We've been here before. Food, prices and service are all fabulous. And local. Unpretentious. Manager could let her staff go a bit. We were asked twice if we wanted to order dessert when we had already spoken to the waitress about it and wanted to rest a bit so almost ended up with two desserts.

Beautiful food, great atmosphere, perfect service. Highly recommend Caminata for all occasions.

Good food and lovely wine. I had the risotto with Chorizo and my friend had the confit of duck. Both were very tasty. Would go again

Great food, service was friendly but not pushy. Wine list is pretty decent and not over priced. Dinner for 2 including starters, mains and a bottle of wine for £50! Will definitely go back again.

Lovely food, great service and atmosphere. I had the swordfish which was very good and my friend had a pasta dish. Would definitely go again! Accept taste cards too!

I've just moved to Balham and this restaurant is right at the top of my road. I have had the £6 takeaway pizzas and they are delicious so I was really excited to eat in. I went on a Thursday so I used my Tastecard - two of us had starters, mains, shared a dessert and a bottle of wine and it came to just over £50. The atmosphere was great, service was friendly (even when my Boyfriend set fire to the menu) and the food was amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. The only drawback is that I now walk past every day wishing I was going in!

Great atmosphere, great service, great food. You really can't go wrong.

great restaurant and service :) Pizzas were really good and enjoyed a lovely meal here. We had excellent service and the cost was pretty good too

This is a gem of a restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. Would highly recommend for any occasion day or evening.

Booked birthday party for 8. Staff extremely friendly & helpful - stored our own champagne and cake in fridge 😛 generous and delicious dishes for all. Our favourite Italian restaurant in South London.

Four of us had dinner at La Caminata last night. They have an extensive menu with friendly and attentive service. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and it was excellent value as well. Overall, a very good experience which I can highly recommend.

Great little Italian place. Both the pizza and the pasta were excellent. There is a nice range of wines by the glass and a couple of good grappas.
