Carnevale's

Food is excellent (and being Italian I should know!), but VERY overpriced for what you get. Atmosphere is fun and easy most of the times, but service can be slow and unfriendly too, as I have experienced myself on a number of occasions.

Eat here on a regular basis and I love the place. Great atmosphere created by a very friendly owner (Mr Carnevale) and his staff. At times bordering on crazy but always worth a visit. The food is fresh and very italian and tastes great. Worth a visit for their tomatoe garlic bread alone. Their fish dishes are always superb and always a great veal option. This place is well worth a visit.

We went here last night for my boyfriends birthday and we had such a lovely time. The place itself is gorgeous, very romantic.

The staff were crazy italians and made the place fun, one of the waiters was singing and they all came across very happy and helpful, altho their english isn't too good.

The food was fantastic! We both came out very satisfied and full You could taste the freshness of the food. Only bad thing was my dessert wasn't too tasy, bit bland but hey I'm not complaining they hit the spot with everything else.

Wine menu is great and the choosen wine was perfect for our meal, altho a little on the expensive side.

I would highly recommend and I can't wait to go back, thinking of an excuse to go there now.

3 courses, bottle of good red wine and extra cocktails on the side for the two people cost £112 inc service which I think is definitely worth every penny!

A great restaurant within easy distance of Earlsfield, Tooting and Southfields. A great atmosphere whether its. a romantic dinner, a group of friends, a family lunch or a girlie brunch. Excellent food, great wine list and live music some evenings and lunchtimes - dancing encouraged by the owner. Very helpful staff and you always receive a warm welcome. It is a lively, busy restaurant. They always seems to welcome people who do not have reservations if they can but definitely best too book. The conservatory is excellent on warm sunny days

I've eaten in this restaurant many times and I have always found it to be excellant value for money, coupled with fine service and very good food. The menu is comprehensive and the fish always divine. I would recommend it to anyone.

A very dissapointing evening! The service was dismal and the waiters looked very stressed and couldn't handle a table of 6 people. We waited for ages to get served and didn't find the staff friendly or helpful at all.

A wonderful experience. Greeted with a very warm welcome and treated like a regular. Staff are extremely attentive and are there exactly when you need them. Food and wine was exquisite. A truly top class restuarant run by warm and professional people. I will visit again and again. Cannot recommmend highly enough.

Good mid-range Italian in Earlsfield. Nice to sit in the conservatory and enjoy the late evening light. Flavoursome and authentically cooked food appropriately priced - some might find the portions a little small though. Lobster with angel hair pasta was very good. Good service from attentive staff.
