great food and ambiance but felt a little rushed by the waiter for drinks and then our food order and then were brought the bill without asking so they clearly wanted to use the table quickly.

Fabulous, authentic tapas at The Little Taperia. We had four dishes from their lunch special menu, two from the main menu, and a dessert each. Highlights were the octopus, the lamb cutlets and the cod frittas.

Good and device was excellent. Table was a little cramped and not ideal as I had someone's elbow in my face for most of the meal as they were sat at a slightly higher table.

Very busy and buzzy, as you would expect on a Friday evening. Table was tight and a little cramped as is the whole restaurant. However, the food was very good and service good too. Recommended.

Fantastic, authentic Spanish tapas and great service at The Little Taperia. We went for lunch today, and did a mix of their special lunch deal (two tapas for £7) and a couple of dishes from their main menu. The food was great as ever - we had the patatas bravas, croquetas, salt cod fritters, chorizo on sour dough toast, octopus salad and the lamb cutlets. Everything was great, and really authentic tasting - particularly enjoyed the octopus which was cooked perfectly. We also had a very nice bottle of wine from Galicia (the wine list is very good, and reasonably priced). The Little Taperia is becoming a local for us! Thoroughly recommended!

Great food with a lively atmosphere. Always very busy but attentive service and the drinks and food kept coming. And the food is very special with all the usual Tapas favourites plus some interesting additions. Well worth checking out and very reasonably priced too.

It was ok but lacked any kind of Spanish feel , also a bit expensive ? It was a Sunday night so we weren't expecting a buzzing atmosphere but we felt more could have been done to create an experience , our bill was £103 for a decent bottle of Rioja and 5 tapas

A little gem tucked away in Tooting. Places offers the usual tapas fare and done well. The sangria was very nice even though the fruits were soaked ahead of time.

Superb service and excellent food as always. With tapas places the bill can always quickly add up and this place is no different however the sangria and the chorizo with tomato on bread are incredible. Definitely a place to visit.

The food was amazing and the service was good. The venue was really hard to hear in and really hot temperature wise making it a struggle to stay in very long. I've had amazing cocktails here previously but the new bartender was pretty terrible. The food, however, is stand out. Worth tolerating the rest for.
