Jamie's Italian (Kingston)

Absolutely dreadful! Appalling service, which included the waitress forgetting one starter. Grossly over-produced food design - the ghastly, tasteless frito misto actually came wrapped in a cardboard menu. What they call a salad was a few mangy leaves slung on a plate.

And we were constantly referred to as 'guys' by the snippy 20 year-old staff. Just an awful experience in every way.

I wonder if Jamie Oliver has actually ever visited this restaurant to see what is being perpetuated in his name.

Numero Uno

Very average lunch here yesterday. Food just about OK - sauce on my pasta very gooey - and service a bit snippy. We have better Italian restaurants in Balham - Cirullos/Locale. We will not return.
