This rustic Italian trattoria is a “reliable local favourite” which has fed generations of families in Clapham’s ‘Nappy Valley’ over the past 30 years. The hearty cuisine “rarely disappoints”, although the venue “can get extremely loud on a busy night (speaking volumes for its popularity!)”.

“Genuine Italian home cooking” has made this rustic, wood-panelled trattoria a “favourite place for family celebrations” for more than three decades in one of South London’s top family zones, Clapham’s ‘Nappy Valley’. It’s a useful reminder that there’s more to la cucina Italiana than pizza and pasta, and “the wild boar is to die for!”.

“Traditional Bologna fodder at excellent prices” is the secret to 31 years of busy trade for this Clapham trattoria. “It’s always strived to serve authentic and interesting Italian food – and succeeded”. What’s more, ratings are up this year: “everything from the food to the service to the ambience was more switched on – seems to have had a kick up the backside due to Covid”. Whatever the reason, eating here is “a very agreeable experience”.

“For a ‘local Italian’ it’s hard to beat” this “consistently good” trat that celebrates three decades on Clapham’s foodie Northcote Road this year. “It looks and feels like an authentic taverna in Northern Italy”“there’s nothing flash and no emphasis on fancy tableware or presentation, but I’ve had better food here than at fancier places in town”. It’s “a bit dark inside”, though, “so better for lunch than dinner”. Top Menu Tip – “wild boar ragu”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
