Caminata

Always love going here. Genuine Italian food & hospitality, I particularly enjoy their pizzas & beef ragu & the desserts are pretty amazing too. Go!

Another table was running a bit late and so we were called in advance asking if we could come about 15 minutes later (not a problem at all for us) and they were so apologetic, we even got a complimentary glass of bubbles each. Staff were absolutely amazing and the food was totally delicious! Would recommend any day.

Fantastic authentic Italian - my favourite restaurant in Balham at the moment. Tiramasu particularly great, as was burrata, fried courgettes and chocolate fondant. Try it!

Great atmosphere, great service, great food. Lovely restaurant to meet up with a small group of friends or for a romantic dinner. Highly recommend this local restaurant.

Lovely restaurant. It had great food, great service and a great atmosphere. Their pizza oven makes delicious pizza’s!! We will definitely go again and we would highly recommend.

Really fancied the waiter. He was hot. Was with the gf but made me double think myself. Oh and great food, highly recommend this place! 😊

Really tasty Italian food with good atmosphere and friendly staff. It's fairly obvious that they know what they're doing. Second time we've been and won't be the last.

Wonderful restaurant, great food and great atomsophere. We had a great bottle of merlot as well. Would recommend the pizzas, delicious. We are returning in a weeks time and would certainly recommend.

Cosy restaurant with great food and the merlot is top drawer. Staff very outgoing and helpful. Gave great recommendations on the menu. Good date spot. Would definitely go again.

Great food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Used my tastecard and think this will become our local Italian of choice. Will probably use weekly. Yes

Good food and wine. Friendly, welcoming staff. Cosy environment. Have been to Caminata several times in the past, and never been disappointed. blah blah ....... !

Been a regular for years, great service and food. Staff are helpful and friendly. Lovely chilled atmosphere , and looks even better than before with the new redesign. Highly recommended.

Amazing! Just didn't get to try the chocolate cake as chocolate soufflé was replacing it on the day. Amazing service and friendly staff! Really recommend!

A fun and enjoyable evening. A great menu and excellent quality food. Cosy and informal atmosphere with very kind and friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Greeted by really friendly staff, who were able to give us a romantic table for 2 as requested. Food was delicious, ingredients fresh and quick service. Would recommend!

Amazing as per usual! Love this place so much always great food

The best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. 100% recommend if you’re in Balham

Amazing as always!! I recommend this place to everyone and anyone

I always have loved it here and honestly, it’s the best Italian I have ever been too.

It's all about the service...... and the food is amazing too. Warm, friendly, welcoming. Everything a local Italian restaurant should be. A firm family favourite of ours.

A small stylish restaurant with excellent food and extremely good value. The pasta was perfect and they have a wood fired oven for pizza too. The service was prompt and polite.

Incredible food, friendly and quick service, great atmosphere. Can’t tecommend Caminata enough - whether you’re coming with friends or family or on a date it’s suitable for all!

Table wasn’t ready, waited for service and the pizza was under cooked. Was a disappointing experience. Feel they prioritise takeaways rather than the paying customer in the restaurant

Always the best service and authentic delicious Italian food! Recently upgraded furniture and some decor and even better! We visit regularly, would be weekly if we could.

We often go to Caminata the food is always excellent and the staff are equally excellent, great service and food and suitable for all ages

Service good, food good, good atmosphere. Nice to see the place busy on a Monday evening. Will come again. Will tell other people about the place

good quality food /price, with a limited menu New fresh décor and most importantly the hospitality given by mein Host and crew Definitely worth a visit

Nice food and great service. Very helpful and friendly staff. The porttions could be more generous a bit. A sign is missing to guide you to the toilet, I suppose. Cloth napkins would give the atmosphere a more classic atmosphere and obviously a more comfortable experience.

A warm welcome even though we were a bit late for our reservation. Busy, buzzy and yet relaxed atmosphere. A small menu but it still packed plenty of variety. Uncomplicated authentic Italian food. Will definitely return

Customer service was absolutely superb. The environment is decent and friendly atmosphere. Food was fairly prized. A wonderful night out with my birthday daughters. The even offered to put a candle on the cake and to top it off, Simon ( of the waiters) also cut the cake for all the six of us. A truly wonderful experience.

Lovely neighbourhood restaurant near Balham tube station. Welcoming staff, great menu, delicious food! Added bonus that they take tastecard, but very reasonably priced without. Would highly recommend.

as always it was a great meal that was served by great staff i would recommend The Caminata restaurant to anyone It has a great location and parking isn't too bad

What a lovely evening, we went with our 3 children at 7pm on Saturday night and we all loved it. The fresh pasta was fantastic and the children pretty much licked their plates clean. The waiter was lovely and friendly and there was a real Italian holiday feel, so pleased it’s now our local, we will be back v soon!

Nice little Italian in the heart of Balham. We shared a couple of starters which were lovely and then o had a past a dish and a dessert. Potion sizes aren’t huge (if you’re really hungry you’ll definitely need a starter) but adequate food to feel comfortable after. Would return again

Excellent as always. The food is really fresh and well presented. Staff efficient and pleasant. We entertained friends who were very impressed. Great evening Caminata

Best restaurant in Balham! the staff are so lovely and the food is delicious - i would really recommend a visit and I am sure you won't be disappointed :)

We went for a birthday meal and the food was very tasty. The staff were exceptional and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Top notch as always. The front of house as effusive as ever, delicious food, cracking swordfish, delightful ambiance, the very best Balham has to offer for a gentle night out.

We were at Caminata on a Friday night and the atmosphere was lively and fun. We found lovely friendly and polite staff serving great food at reasonable prices.

We had a really lovely time, there’s a lovely family atmosphere. The manager was great, and joined in our fun even when we were being a bit loud...

Great atmosphere, lovely food and service! Went with my family from out of town and they loved it. We're definitely going back there for more.

Food good, i recommend the Burrata. Pizzas also nice. Service was pretty slow and generally not what Ive come to expect in London. Would go back though

Absolutely brilliant...great food and service! Definitely come again! Anyone in the area I would definitely recommend a visit. The Gnocchi was so tasty and the Creme Brûlée is a definite!

Excellent service, delicious food! Lovely, warm atmosphere. Always a delight to go to Caminata. The mushroom, sausage and truffle pasta is divine, as is the Tiramasu.

Giuseppe amore mio - great evening and lovely atmosphere. We will be back for sure. Great arancino and crème brûlée and the wine was great! Thanks

Outstanding as always!! Home made pasta, and chorizo gnocchi was delicious. Service impeccable ...despite my girlfriend setting fire to the wine list...! Thank you Caminata! X

Lovely restaurant. Great atmosphere and a very helpful and friendly manager. The food was good too! We used our Tastecard which made the prices even more reasonable. Highly recommend the homemade limoncello ...

Great meal out on a Saturday night. Restaurant busy but staff attentive, service friendly and informative. All four of us enjoyed starters and main course and just too full for desserts. Great food excellent value

Fantastic service and atmosphere. The food is incredible, with freshly made pasta. I would also recommend the chocolate cake/fondant, homemade and I can say its the best fondant I have ever had.

Fantastic food and service. Always love it here and would return and return. Had prawns, goats cheese croquettes followed by two wonderful pasta dishes. Love it!
