Caminata

This is the best local Italian you could wish for! Full stop! Top marks to Giovanni and his team for making this a truly local hub.

Great food, service and atmosphere. More than just typical pizza and pasta stuff. Very authentic dishes and the staff were very attentive. Will definitely be going back

Wonderful restaurant, been coming here for years. Lovely atmosphere, nice staff and good food. Decent prices and take away pizza avaliable if you are in a hurry.

Lovely buzzing family restaurant. Great, simple Italian food. I had the Prawns and Tagliatelle which was very tasty. My husband had a hand and mushroom pizza. He said it was really good.

Lovely food and restaurant in convenient location. Nice variety of drinks and the veggie starters are fantastic! Pizzas nice and filling and happy to provide takeaway boxes for the leftovers! Would happily return.

We had a great meal here - the food is superb and the service was very good. Would definitely eat here again in the future!

Really lovely pasta dish beautifully cooked and really tasty, nice buzzy atmosphere and friendly staff . Gets busy so I would recommend booking. Only just discovered been twice and loved both times, will be back

It was really good - the food was unbelievable and the service was impeccable. The rigatoni con pollo was especially good. We had three courses and a bottle of wine, which came to £50 so good value for money

Really good food, Friendly, perfect service. Good think pizzas with tasty tomato. Delicious pasta dishes. I had one with Spinach balls - very tasty. Will go again

Always great service and great food. Perfect for a casual catch up with friends or a date night alike. I've been so many times but this time I had the prawn linguine and it was divine. They did gluten free pasta for my friend.

Great restaurant. Good location, really friendly and helpful staff and quick service. Pizzas were delicious, better than leading chain restaurants. Excellent value for money too. Highly recommended.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and such good value! This was my second visit and I can't wait to go back!

Great service and a wonderful atmosphere. The food is brilliant and i would highly recommend getting the Arancino for a starter -absolutely fantastic. Have been coming here regularly for the last year since I moved to Balham and it's definitely one of the best in the area.

Lovely family run business with fantastic food, highly recommend. Pizza and pasta is great and everything is good fresh. Service is brilliant along with atmosphere.

This is a most wonderful Italian restaurant with really great food, excellent very attentive staff and cosy atmosphere. Don't be disappointed make sure you book, especially at weekends.

As always the food here is very good. On arrival it always feels as though it may be a bit cramped and busy but once you are seated it all works very very well. Feels like a family-run outfit which I like.

The restaurant was lovely. Food was great and it had a nice chilled out atmosphere. Staff were attentive. And the tiramisu was absolutely delicious. Will come again.

This is my second time visiting the restaurant and really enjoyed it again. The food is fresh and very tasty and the service is friendly.

Really nice Italian restaurant in Balham. Great food and lovely staff. Went with friends on Friday evening, very busy and great atmosphere. Would recommend to my friends.

Really tasty food and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend visiting. The pizzas are stone baked and taste incredible. The gnocchi is great too. Really good authentic Italian.

A really Lovely local Italian, the staff are very friendly, it is a relaxing and nice atmosphere. Great place to catch up with friends or family.

Wonderful food. Really great service. I've been back quite a few times and always had something different and never had a bad meal. Really reasonable too

The staff are lovely. Really nice guy looking after us who made us laugh. Food was delicious

Service was not very friendly. Good took a long time to come and wasn't very tasty. Overall didn't enjoy the visit as much as previously.

Really lovely dinner, food excellent, and service was polite and friendly. Location is pretty good too, just a couple mins walk from Balham tube stop on Bedford Hill. Will definitely go back!

Excellent restaurant and great food. We went with a taste card so it was outstanding value too. The staff are Good and if you're lucky enough to be looked after by Giuseppe, you'll be in for a treat.

Very good food and atmosphere , service ok could be better , but very happy would recommend and return. . . . . . .

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!

The atmosphere was buzzing and the staff were lovely. The pizza that I ordered was too much for me (I have a small appetite) and they instantly agreed to cut it in half and box it up for me to take away. The other half was delicious! My friend had pasta which he thought was very good and his Tiramasiu was eaten very quickly....definitely recommend this and will be going again for sure.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.
