Lovely to be back after an interval of a few months. We were greeted like long lost friends and the dinner was scrumptious - as usual.

The best Italian in south London. Fact! The food is always amazing. Homemade pizzas, homemade past & gnocchi. Incredible starters. Great service, friendly staff. Can’t recommend highly enough

Usual good ambience and friendly staff. Food was a little slow to be served and we we were only given a small water jug for a table of 7 which we had to be asked to be refilled which was a little annoying. But despite that an overall good experience

This place was a real find. Great food, excellent service, good value. The pizzas are fab, the home made gnocchi is to die for probably the best we’ve had. And the other pasta dishes are also very good, loved the seafood pescatore.

We used to live in Balham and Caminata was always our favourite place to eat out. Having moved away, we went back 3 years later and it is still my firm favourite! The staff are super friendly and didn’t flinch when my husband and I both ordered “off-menu” items, the atmosphere is fantastic and the food to die for. I cannot rate it highly enough!

We love this restaurant and the only reason I didn't give 100% for food was probably my fault for choosing badly. The three others accompanying me loved their meal. Also the one pudding we wanted was no longer available. Otherwise everything was perfect and we shall go back and back.

We visited Caminata with my parents and were given a warm welcome. The food was exceptional. I’d even go as far to say one of the best Italian’s I’ve had in the Uk. I’d highly recommend The Antipasto Misto to start and the Rabbit Ragu for main. Their (Italian...) Crème brûlée was stunning! We will definitely return

Enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day dinner at Caminata. We arrived a couple minutes early, which seemed to fluster the person on duty. We were told we could sit and have a drink whilst we waited, but nobody actually took our drinks order until we had moved (which was a bit later than the time we had booked for) After this however, everything was wonderful. The food was very tasty and we were served attentively for the duration of our meal.
