The best restaurants serving Italian food in Grove Kingston upon Thames London

The garlic bread was as good as any I have ever tasted and the black spaghetti with king prawns, up to the standard I would expect in a high end Italian restaurant. The prices were reasonable for the high standard quality of food I had, plus the service and pleasant atmosphere/decor - just icing on the cake. Can't wait to go back there in the new year!

Amazing sandwiches and coffee! Expensive at first sight, but packed with delicious ingredients and enough for two! Well worth a visit.

Roberto catered for a private function at our home. The dishes were excellent in taste with beautiful Italian flavours, and lovely presentation. The breads and salads were fresh , perfectly complementing the mains, and altogether so sumptuous. My guests were wholly impressed with the authentic Italian cooking, arguably better than what some restaurants offer too.

The food we ordered was spectacular and was quick and efficient. Our waitress was a very kind lady who really took care of us whilst we were there and was really helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone else visiting Kingston.

Excellent service and the food is amazing!

This was a big Christmas booking so I will cut them some slack just for the sheer volume of us. The meatballs were tasty but it would have been nice to have some garnish, maybe a piece of bread, rather then just some balls and sauce plonked in a bowl. The spaghetti was full of seafood and had lots of flavour. The staff were very friendly and we were able to push the chairs back and have a dance.

Really good food, just a shame the padded seating is looking tatty in places.

Friday 20th December. After having such a positive experience before I am so dissapointed. The food... well starters... was still faultless... having to spend the next hour with no one to take away our plates.. (only the two of us) .... or to ask when the mains will be ready, I felt like walking out.... not they would have noticed. I paid for what we had... only to be presented with a completely different bill, which was a lot cheaper but I did correct them. If the restaurant was busy I may have excused them, but they were too busy serving uber eats etc. My advice would be, enjoy the lovely food and very nice atmosphere... but order from uber eats and have it served to your table. Apart from someone taking our order, delivering our drinks and starters, we had no contact from any staff for over 1 hour. Very, very dissapointed. When I complained and asked for the bill having waited for so long, I didn't even receive a reaction, no "let me check with the kitchen", no "let me get you another drink while you wait" There was no apology, explanation for delay or anything.

Beware of this tourist trap. They draw you in with friendly behavior, but once you’re seated, the experience takes a turn for the worse. The staff are rude, there are unexpected charges, and they don’t honor the menu prices. Service is poor and judgmental. Definitely one to avoid!

I have to say amazing service from Giulia Thenk you

Having been to the Carluccios in Richmond recently, the Bentall’s branch in Kingston felt like the poor cousin. The portion sizes of food were smaller and the staff serving were not attentive and kept trying to push add ins like a salad or bread. We were not enthralled and having been going there for years and years, it sadly is not how it used to be. The penne Giardinea, their signature dish, you have to find the courgette balls! Tiny and sparse. This used to be such an incredible dish.

In kingston PE. Lovely waitress called Saayeh was very nice and welcoming to me. All the staff here are incredibly friendly.
