The best restaurants serving Italian food in Kingston upon Thames London

Visited yesterday with friends and atmosphere and food was ok but the service I recieved from a certain lady in perticlicular - Giulia was amazing so patient and showed she really cared for us you will be lucky to be served by her!

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.

First thing: very expensive! £33 (after Merlin Discount; Without MAP - £39!!) for two adults, child restriction is a very low age so my teenager couldn't go in as a child. Helpful staff though which is always a plus, main drinks machine out of order with once again a unhappy teen! Restaurant itself very big and clean. Went at 12pm and wasn't heaving so could be due to price increases recently. Overall a good place to eat but the prices need to addressed, especially for 'not well off' parents.
