"We stumbled upon this restaurant today and were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed a lovely lunch, enhanced by the cheerful and friendly waitress, the inviting atmosphere, and the soothing Italian background music, which created a delightful ambiance. During our visit on a rainy Monday afternoon, we were the only customers in the restaurant, but rather than feeling uncomfortable, it added to the unique charm of the place. The food was clearly freshly prepared, and the enticing aromas from the kitchen teased our taste buds before we even saw our dishes. I enjoyed monkfish served with mushrooms, king prawns, and calamari, along with a fresh arugula and cherry tomato salad. My partner chose the linguine with king prawns, and we both agreed that our meals were absolutely delicious. The restaurant features a variety of seating areas, including a beautiful garden space. Overall, this is a fantastic place and definitely worth a visit!"

"Asked a couple of ladies just on the high street if they could recommend somewhere to eat and they said 'Mama Mia ' . So husband and I went to said eaterie and it was welcoming lovely ambient place and we set out to choose our food ! Some Italian restaurants tend to all have the same taste but wow not this family run establishment ! I ordered the special (basically a seafood linguine but they called it a regu) Husband had The Penne Mama Mia which he loved . Also a garlic bread and for once not ripped off with the price of wine . A carafe 500ml of house red £12.50 Happy days !!! Husband had a lovely Italian beer bit pricier at £8.50 but loved it . The flavours were just lovely in our dishes and the family run touch shone through ! A good shout to those two lovely ladies that steered us to Mama Mia a jewel in the High Streets Crown indeed. Grazie !!"

"The food was outstanding. We began with Bruschetta and enjoyed Calzone for our main course. Both dishes were packed with flavor, and the Calzone was especially fantastic. We will definitely be returning to dine there again."

"We visited spaghetti junction on a busy Saturday at end of September. As per some comments below it does not look much from the outside but once inside you feel like you are transported to Italy. Menu is typical Italian and with 10 in our party a wide range of started came on all to an excellent standard. We then had mains again a wife variety of pasta, pizza and meat and all excellent. Waiting staff were very enthusiastic and attentive. As we were finishing startera the entertainment started with Bruno on the microphone. He started slowly but by the time we had finished all 10 of us plus the rest of the restaurant and waiting staff were up dancing to his array of songs. Highly recommended. Food excellent."

"service was very slow and there were more chatting between restaurant than service. drinks were not ordered before eating as in most restaurants and had to request wine. we got a wrong starter, but we ran late, so could not fly."

"I had a more dreadful experience than any other restaurant. I visited with my family for a simple meal before my graduation ceremony. However, a middle-aged male server with white sideboard hair and glasses pulled my jacket’s and rudely commented on the ornament attached to my outfit, asking why I was wearing such a thing and tugged at it, making me uncomfortable. Later, he mocked me by inserting his fingers into the decorative design on my outfit's sleeve, claiming it needed to be removed. Unlike typical formal attire where only four spots are sewn to be removed, this decoration was entirely stitched in place. Despite explaining it wasn't meant to be removed, he ridiculed me, saying he knew that all such decorations were meant to be removed. Of course, all of this physical contact occurred without my consent, and due to his mockery and disregard, I felt immense discomfort and racial discrimination. Could it be that he held prejudices because I'm of East Asian descent and assumed I naturally knew nothing about Western clothing? Did I really not know how to wear the outfit for my master's degree in visual arts on such an important day? He ruined my special day, and I'm deeply upset that I'll carry negative memories of my graduation day, which should have been a lifetime of happiness, forward."

"What a nasty little man who works there, not content with being challenged for driving across the pavement in front of me and a woman pushing a buggy, he started revving his engine aggressively to get us to move out of his (incredibly entitled) way. After the challenge he was more than willing to propose violence to further escalate the situation. What a nasty little man, no sense of community except what's in it for him. I'll certainly not be eating at this place ever again."

"Choice of interesting rustic Italian food. But not a huge menu. Waitress managed to spill half a glass of juice over me, she was apologetic, but seemed more interested in wiping the floor than providing something to help me though (the manager did come to help afterwards)."

"they would recommend to use in front of a concert place to get free parking, and I think this restaurant would be better on a non-concert night, but we were left by the French employees on our visit. it is understandable to be extremely busy and on a concert night emphasizes how full the restaurant is, but to sit for 30 minutes before they get their drink, although they are already finished their starter is ridiculous. then they ask the waiter if they could catch one) it's okay to get our drink still and they see them very confused, was a strange experience for us. as we sat on the stage of the restaurant, this was not our situation, as we do not have the same waiter to come by and visit us. Rotunda was fast enough to take our starter away and bring out the main, but we sat another 30 minutes to take someone away our main plate and ask if we need a desert. because they didn't ask that I quickly asked a waiter, it would be okay if we had a whisper, they looked at me as if I asked her to wash my hair for me. it was incredible, and I and my partner couldn't stop us from laughing about it. eating was okay, but for the money they pay, the service has to improve. the customer service was not great at all, very regrettable, as we look forward to:"

"for the first time with a friend in this restaurant. it is a family-run restaurant and they are very friendly and welcoming. we have tried the garlic bread with cheese together with the local pizza (vegetarian) and really enjoyed our meal. the employees are attentive, but balance this with let them enjoy their meal alone. the prices are reasonable, food freshly cooked to order and tastes really good. very accommodating if they want to make any changes that they want to make with eating, as leaving off ingredients (for me it was left alcohol from some of the fish dishes that was great. highly recommended."

"I had a mixed experience at Latino this week, as I visited twice. The food was excellent on both occasions, but the service and atmosphere varied. During my first visit, the service was just right - not too slow, not too fast. The restaurant was not very busy, and Astrid, the server, was lovely. We conversed in English and Italian, she asked all the right questions, and was very welcoming. I left a positive review on the feedback card. However, on my second visit, despite my previous good review, the service was cold and efficient. I had made a reservation for 7:30pm, arrived at 7:20pm, and had my food on the table by 7:30pm. I had ordered a wine to start and one for my meal, but they both arrived at the same time. It seemed like they were in a rush to serve me. Astrid was still pleasant, but the two gentlemen who served me seemed more focused on getting me to pay and leave. I mentioned this difference on the feedback card, but received no response. The reason for my average feedback score is due to the inconsistency in service between the two visits. In conclusion, the food was fantastic, prices were fair, and overall it was a pleasant place to dine. Kerr WELLS."

"I had a delicious fresh pizza at this restaurant. I ordered a classic Margarita, while my friend had the Italian Spicy, and both pizzas were cooked perfectly. The Aperol Spritz was also perfect. It felt like I was sitting in a piazza in Rome rather than on Beckenham Road."

"On December 23rd, five of us enjoyed a light lunch with wine at this restaurant. We were greeted nicely and seated at a charming side table, provided with menus promptly. Our orders were taken quickly, water was brought to our table, and our selected wine was served within 5 minutes - excellent service. The food was brought to us with a smile, and the staff checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed, which added to the dining experience. We ordered steak, fish, and sides, all of which were cooked to perfection. After chatting for 45 minutes, we left with a reasonable bill after discussing the restaurant's South African founder with the Italian staff. This was a pleasant experience compared to a recent, more expensive dining experience nearby. The atmosphere was great, the staff was wonderful, and the food was fabulous. Thank you very much!"

"Visited on valentines day. Of course on a busy day like that it was always going to be difficult for the front of house to provide the best service. However, the main problem with zizzi as a whole at the moment is the app ordering. To get the app was easy enough with the bar code on the table with table number. But, ordering is not as personal as you expect from a restaurant. By this I mean when ordering a pizza you expect to be able to customise the toppings as its one of the most customisable meals out there. But the app had no option for this meaning we avoided the pizza. In the end, we ordered the new sharer starter, a beef shin meal with potatoes and ricotta filled tortelloni. The starter was just amazing, beautifully cooked fried calamari, oozy arancini with mozzarella filling, tangy caprese salad and garlicky garlic bread. A great starter to share, for it was a bit much but perfect for or With such a great start we were then let down by the mains. My beef shin was cooked nicely and the broccoli accompaniment paired well, but the cheesy potato that was supposed to come with it was replaced by chips, due to running out. I understand that when you run out there isn't anything to do, however because we ordered on the app no one warned us about this until it arrived, and by then it is too late to change. However, it was the tortelloni that was really disappointing. It came as described, the spicy tomato ragu was tasty, but the filling of ricotta was horrible. It had the texture of strange mash potato and was devoid of taste. Because of this we both decided not to finish our dishes. The saving grace for this visit was the starter and the service we received from a hectic front of house. When we mentioned the tortelloni the manager was kind enough to remove it from the bill, even after resistance from myself. From seeing other tables you could see that the waiter's/waitresses were truly trying their best to save everyone's nights. So I give them stars because the starter was lovely and the staff were doing their best. But the marks are lost with a poor consistency of food quality and an app that needs updating or removing."

"We have eaten here quite a few times as it has tastes to suit everyone , and my younger daughter loves tiramisu which they do very well . Our party included a baby, and someone in her eighties and four other adults. One choices were pasta Bolognese, an Chicken Caesar, Lasagna, a leggera padana pizza, Melanzane, and a Romana pizza. Their leggera pizza have 600 calories and are hollowed out with a slada replacing the dopugh in the middle. We had a collection of sides and starters. The baby enjoyed broccoli which was not overcooked and others enjoyed dough balls. The desserts were tiramisu, Lotus biscoff cheesecake , and then some of us had the mini desserts -dolcretti where a cup of coffee is served with a mini dessert, one had a carrot cake, one had figs in mascarpone amd one had a mini tiramisu. Every one from 11 months to 82 enjoyed the food, and the service was quick and friendly. However it is recommended you book ahead if it is Sunday or there are more than two of you, as we once got turned away when he had not booked"

"We tried out the Masaledar after their recent refurb. The main waiter was friendly and helped with ordering, but the service times were terrible. We were a biggish group of 10 people, but our starters took 45 mins and the last main course arrived 2 hours after we'd sat down. The heat of my Karahi lamb was just about right for me, but a few people were complaining the food was too mild and generally bland. Small shots of mango lassi were a refreshing end to the meal though. The fact it is BYO meant that it was a fairly cheap night out, there's a Tesco across the road. Strangely in these days of digital payments, it is a cash only restaurant! One thing we couldn't understand is that they've moved the front door so it's no longer easy to find up the side street rather than on the high st. Everyone in our group had to search for the entrance which now brings you in at the back of the restaurant...bizarre! Unlikely we'll be going back, lots of others to try on Upper Tooting Rd. A shame, as this used to be my go to takeaway option when I lived in Balham."

"I had minestrone soup and penne bolognese. Felt authentic but relatively tasteless, had to take quite a lot of pepper and salt and parmesan cheese. I would have liked a little more intense tomato flavor and more herbs. Good bread for the soup. The pasta was overcooked and the tomato sauce a little burnt but very nicely presented. Still bottled water was very good (Acqua Panna Tuscany) The Esperanto macchiato afterwards had a lot of foam, big as a lungo but good and strong. Nice waitress but the restaurant looked a bit like a school canteen."

"I love pizza, who doesn't? It's a delicious circle of tomato-covered happiness. Italian history aside, the invention of pizza definitely made things better. Imagine if famous figures like Caesar and Napoleon had access to pizza, they might have been happier. Did you know that not all pizzas are round and that there are variations in toppings by region? At Made In Italy, you can enjoy a meter-long pizza with up to four toppings that is truly divine. The dough, tomatoes, and cheese are top-notch, creating a heavenly combination. Even if you usually prefer more elaborate pizzas, the simplicity of the margherita pizza at Made In Italy is so well-balanced that you won't feel like you're missing anything. Gather some friends and head to Made In Italy for a pizza night you won't forget."

"My party and I stopped for lunch during a shopping trip using a Tesco voucher. The atmosphere was great, and it quickly filled up with customers soon after we arrived. The food, including garlic dough balls, a Margherita pizza, and lasagna, was delicious. We did have to request a pizza cutter, as there seemed to be a shortage. Despite some initial hesitation from the Italian waiter regarding our voucher, it was eventually accepted. Overall, we had a pleasant experience dining at this restaurant."
