A very nice evening for our first visit to The Italian taste in Surbiton. Starters were delicious as well as the mains although my veal was a little tough and the sauce had little taste by overall it was good food and reasonably priced. Will return.

It was a nice restaurant with good food and prompt service. I thought the complimentary Limoncello at the end was a nice touch. I would eat here again.

Fabulous! Friendly, relaxed, delicious! I can’t recommend this place enough. The staff are super friendly, they make the atmosphere so calm and fun, you can’t help but relax and enjoy yourself. The food is superb, really varied menu, and all the dishes I’ve tried so far have been excellent. Go!! See for yourself!

5 of us (me, my wife, mother & 2 children) ate at the restaurant on Fri 07th, as it was my Mother's birthday. We have a lovely table in the window. Service was good but I have 2 small disappointments. My daughters main dish, whilst looking great was a bit tasteless (her words not mine) and my Linguine Gamberoni only had 3 prawns in it, which was disappointing and I felt a little stingy as the dish tasted lovely. Plus they were butterfly prawns in the Linguine (doesn't say that on the menu), so I had to peel them; I wouldn't have ordered that dish had I known. Being brutally honest, a similar dish at Ciao Italia in Banstead is quite a bit better. Shame.

Fantastic restaurant for both food and atmosphere. Very happy staff and were attentive in the right amount. One negative was on arrival having booked we were offered a table for two and not four as reserved, not a big issue just a slight concern whether they had reserved and put a side our table. But this was the only downside and it was quickly rectified so probably only my initial paranoia. All in all a great find and lovely independent Italian!

Good ambiance as always. However disappointed in lamb shank meal as it was too spicy and spoilt the taste of the lamb. Waitress could have smiled more!

The woman that served us on arrival was extremely rude to us, because we had a baby with our group and she did not have any high chairs to give us. We ended up leaving as she was extremely obnoxious and offensive.

Lovely Italian atmosphere, staff delightful and so helpful - we had two small children with us. The menu is wonderful, such variety, not all pasta, and typical of real Italian food. Can’t wait to visit again!

It was a pleasant evening, largely due to it being a long overdue catch up with friends. The setting is nice, but the service felt rushed in that the waiter/manager kept walking past our table and checking for empty plates! The pizza base was good, and light but the topping lacked imagination.. listed as spicy Italian sausage but what came was very standard sliced pepperoni. I would have expected something more tasty and authentic. I think the others enjoyed their meals; personally I just remember it being better!

Three of us were there for lunch on Sunday and having a blast. The restaurant was will appointed and clean. Menu was extensive. Food was great and generous portioned. Great services too. Only small minus was the music could be a little too loud at times (only a little but asked the waitress to volume down - no problem). We'll go back that again soon.
