Good meal good value except tiramisu which we couldn’t eat but also didn’t get charged for. Overall a nice place to eat Good value wine
Excellent meal excellent service and lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed it. I’ve been to The Italian Taste a few tines now and it never disappoints. Thank you Italian Taste!!
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.
Great place and very good atmosphere will come again soon
Early Saturday evening meal. It was a great atmosphere, food and service. We were a table of 10 and were treated individually. Thank you very much
Excellent meal! All of our food was wonderful and the service was great too. My father is hard to please and he really enjoyed it so that is high praise indeed! We will be going back
Great meal with good vegetarian options and able to customise dishes
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.
great atmosphere and staff and the food was lovely, but my food could have doe with a bit more flavouring - predominantly salt and pepper
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.
We were a party of 5 and had a great time. Both food and service were first class. We will be going again very soon.
There was great food, great service with attentive staff. The atmosphere was also very good. We went for a relaxed meal and really enjoyed it.
Friendly staff serving traditional and we'll prepared Italian dishes. Quiet ambience and a very enjoyable evening. We have visited several times as it has always been nice.
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!
We had a lovely meal here, the food was great (calamari was great and pasta dishes amazing), the place is nice and service good. Would definitely go again!
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!
Lovely meal this evening, great local Italian with friendly staff. We had a really nice evening and we will definitely come back in the future.
We called the restaurant earlier to advise that it was mums 86th birthday This was not acknowledged.... the food was ok the wine was very good I will not rush back but would go if need be
Really enjoyed lunch here today; sat by the open window, extensive menu, of food and drinks,and tasty food with such friendly service, thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Excellent service, staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, very tasty! We’ve been several times over the last couple of years and definitely will definitely go again!
An early evening meal after work on a hot day. The service was attentive, and the food was very tasty. I would recommend The Italian Taste, and I will return.
I love this restaurant and it’s fast become my favourite local restaurant. The food is fantastic, great atmosphere with welcoming, friendly staff that really go out of their way to give you a great night. Food and alcohol is reasonably priced for such excellent quality of food.
Excellent service delicious food I had the duck and my friend had the veal and we shared some courgettes fritto. It was a great meal.
We go on a regular basis, as always excellent food and service.
Fantastic food, nice to see new menu. Staff as always very polite and friendly. Bright warm and extremely inviting. Have been eating here for years. Always great resturant.
The food was lovely, the service was very good the overall atmosphere very pleasing we had a great evening and would return again oh and the cocktails were fab thank you
Nice venue. Food good & plentiful. Service hit & miss. Table not set properly & waiter in experienced. Considering I had pre booked, expected better.
Food fine service could have been better obviously understaffed one way to make money very noisy and parking bad would not go again on a Friday evening
Lovely food and great service as always. one of my favourite restaurants.
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!
We had a table for the 4 of us. Received not too rushed good service & delicious food. Would happily go back again & recommend it
Great restaurant, family friendly and brilliant staff, we love going their it’s my kids fav restaurant!! They have gluten free options and dairy free options
Very good authentic independent Italian restaurant. Was a really nice atmosphere on Valentine's day and the food and drink were excellent. Will be visiting again.
Over price valentines set menu and portions were scale down down for the set menu comprend to the normal menu. Service felt very rushed as if they wanted to get us out.
fantastic authentic italian, excellent service and very reasonable prices . If you are going to have the risotto or Pasta, make sure you are hungry!
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.
Fab as always. Wonderful restaurant , excellent food and service. Many thanks.
