Cannizaro House

I don't normally review (just read) but I went to Canizaro on Saturday evening for a family birthday and had a very pleasant evening. the decor is formal, staff attentive and the food and wine good without being too clever. The price is what you would pay for many more ordinary meals in the village in restaurants who are not able to give you any of the views or charm that go with this place. Maybe they have changed hands recently most of the more recent reviews are very positive. Only thing lacking was a little atmosphere as the dining room was 1/2 full

I revisited after two years, lured in by a good value deal, as others appeared to be. Whilst there was nothing wrong with the food, it lacked taste and originality. The service was good, and it's a nice set up there. For modern British food in Wimbledon, the Lighthouse is better.

We have just enjoyed a really lovely family birthday lunch at the restaurant - making use of a special offer currently available. We had three courses, a complimentary bottle of excellent wine (normally priced at £35 a bottle) and coffee, and the bill came to around £28 per head including service, extra vegetables and a second bottle of wine. The food was really lovely. There was a choice of three dishes for each course : the "pig's head" croquette was delicious (despite it's rather off putting name!) and the wild mushroom soup had everyone raving about it. The rib of beef with Kohlrabi was quite superb, melting in the mouth. The dining room was comfortable, airy and relaxed and the service couldn't be faulted. All in all, highly recommended.
