Garbo's Pizza X La Cantina Sociale

I’ve arrived at 11pm and it has been the only restaurant that served me food (at this time),
They also have been really polite even if it was almost closing time.
I’ll definitely recommend , as you can see from the picture the pizza its more than a 5 stars.
Grazie mille ragazzi :)

I stopped by the first time on a walk because, as an Italian, I smelled the smell of proper pizza dough. Came back for dinner tonight and cannot say enough about the proper Italian hospitality of the place! 11/10 recommend.

We came for a chilled Friday night dinner, the service was really friendly and efficient, nice atmosphere and the pizzas were delicious! My partner went for a 4 cheese and I had a vegetariana- both very good and not overpriced, we will definitely be back! Only not giving 5 stars due to the toilet being a bit grubby.. but can’t fault the rest 😊

I don’t even know where to start from.

A friend of us organised a New Year’s Eve dinner here for our group of Italian living in London. We had two different menu: one vegetarian and one fish based.

People paid £45-£55 for the two different menus.

The place was awful. There were not enough seats for everybody so this means the owner which is very not skilled for this job overbooked the restaurant and the people had to wait one hour to be seated. After that we had to stay very narrow and uncomfortable. There was no space even to walk out the door in case of emergency.

The staff was terrible, not mannered waiter, very unpolite, kidding the customers , not aware of what was in the dishes so customers ate things that waiter was not aware of what it was.

Not mentioning the food. It was terrible . It’s a shame for all the Italian people that work with passion bringing ahead Italian cuisine and culture. The food on the menu never arrived entirely, what has been prepared was the worst food I have ever eaten. I ordered a fish menu. The tartare was quite acceptable but very cold because kept in the fridge for hours (I am not sure if the salmon was good I felt very sick on 1st January and threw out salmon). The “lobster linguine” didn’t have lobster and neither tomato sauce enough. They were terrible, cold, overcooked. A friend of us took “orecchiette with cime di rape” had basically the entire plant in it only warm and not cooked well. Terrible. The bruschetta for vegetarian menu had a raw aubergine deep fried (should have been) on a “fresella” and actually the menu had written “bruschetta” on it.

I don’t want to continue about the food . Nothing was good. 70+ people in a space with capacity of 35max people . Terrible.

Everyone was upset and complaining about bad service and bad food. The owner is arrogant and haughty. He claimed also some bottles of water to be paid and the service charge (when by law this is not mandatory at all!!! ) and he has not clue about how it works.

The sooner he closes the restaurant better it is for people and Italian in general to not be ashamed by this guy.

If I could have put -1000 stars I would have done. Awful. Terrible. Arrogant

Its my 1st time at La Cantina and it was amazing experience. The staff there are really friendly and have a great sense of humour. The food was also delicious and what topped it off we got Lemoncello on the house. So in short thank you, I recommend it for everyone to try it out.

Super delicious, authentic Italian food - highly recommended. Pizzas are amazing, and looking at the chefs cooking in front of you makes you want to try all the dishes they prepare!

The service made the experience a 5 Star experience. I ordered a pineapple juice, and it had fermented (gone bad in the carton), so after many apologies I was provided a free alternative juice. The friends I was with shared a vegan option with me. The waiter asked what we thought of the food and in recognising that it was "Okay and basic", he wanted us to have enjoyed it, and with my suggestions returned with a much improved version at no extra cost. This time the food was delicious and vegan.
The waiter explained that their usual chef was away, and was very apologetic.
Warm and friendly atmosphere.
I didn't use the toilet as the lock on the door did not work.
I was impressed with the service. Thank you!

I have been to la Cantina Sociale for a quick lunch break and I had a delicious puccia with octopus, it was simply delicious. What a like about this place is that they really make food in the Italian way and use first quality products, the octopus was super tasty and fresh. The waiter and the owner are very friendly, too. Will definately go back for pizza and a nice aperitif in the terrace. Highly recommended !!!
