Flavours of Naples — Restaurant in London

Found this lovely little Italian restaurant just outside of Borough area in London (near London Bridge for the non local). Greeted by very friendly Italian waiter (might have been the owner) who gave us a detailed description of the specials which gave a few extra choices on top of a fairly simple menu. I had the Lasagne and hubby had a Pizza from the specials. We weren't left to wait long before our food came out. Hubby's Pizza was definitely home made and looked delicious (he said it was) and my Lasagne had a really authentic look about it that could only have been achieved by someone who knows how to make Lasagne properly! There was no minced beef in sight, instead little chunks of the most delicious beef, tender and tasty, wrapped in super soft pasta and a zingy tomato sauce. Whilst I was full afterwards, the greedy me would ask whether the portion was a bit small and wonder why there was no side salad or bread for the table...especially at the £17.50 price. It was a lovely meal and I'd recommend this place but set your expectations for smaller portions or add extras to give you the bigger meal. Price wise, I guess I'm out of practice for eating out and it was probably typical of prices these days. The only actual reason for not giving 5 stars is the £3 price for the can of diet coke I was served which had 90p printed on the tin courtesy of...

I work around the corner and am a regular at this restaurant. I used to love the food which was of consistently high quality and the service that was friendly, personal and efficient. A few weeks ago I would have given this place five stars for sure.

I went there for a late lunch today and it was so bad that I will not return. I ordered the parmigiana (which I must've had 20 times in the last twelve months). Instead of the small oven dish it usually comes in, it came in a small plate, it was lukewarm and it wasn't a dish, just a little bit of aubergine with hardly any cheese. The bread used to be fresh and crusty, now it was stale white baguette. My partner ordered the salsiccia which - frankly - was appalling.

I asked the waitress about this change in quality and all she did was look at my plate and say 'You ate the food'. She also mentioned that there was a new chef, though I'm not sure she understood what I was trying to tell her about the drastic change in quality.

I will unfortunately not be returning to this restaurant which makes me a bit sad because it used to be a great and very reliable...

The food was nice and the owner seemed friendly but after me and my friend left the restaurant, we noticed we were scammed. I thought I must've mistook the price and saw the menu wrongly as we were there quite late about 10pm+, but my friend told me that her parmigiana was not the same price as what she had saw on the menu. I checked the menu and I recalled myself that my "pasta of the day" was about £18+ too (which you can also confirm on their menu). But I had paid £28.12 for their "special pasta of the day" which was indicated as £18.90 on the menu and my friend paid about £15 for her parmigiana which was stated as about £9 on the menu. Pretty sure those were not service charge because they added more than£10 to our total bill. Not happy with the way they deceived us like this. Unfortunately we won't come back again even if the food was fine because of this dishonesty. 😔😔😔 Which really disappointed me because my friend had just gone through a really rough time and got laid off after being hospitalized and this just added to the mistrust towards...
