Riverside 2 in Lambeth

Lovely little family-run place. Everything from all-day breakfast to gorgeous Italian dishes. Fantastic coffee. Friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Family run business,they been there for years,very friendly,hard working Italians.Food is always fresh,generous portions,and their tiramisu is top one of the best I had in London.They also do breakfast in the morning and lovely Italian coffee.Must try

If you are in this side of the Thames I recommend stopping by. Very close the N. Lambeth tube and the amazing Imperial War Museum. Food is delicious, service superb and prices are excellent! Riverside 2 will be a regular stop every time we are in London. Give them a try! Recommend

Fantastic service from really friendly attentive waiting staff. The waitresses were so smiley and warm. A menu filled with classic Italian dishes. Nothing exotic, just really well-cooked meals with great ingredients and the pasta is absolutely perfect. A real Italian restaurant...only in Kennington/Lambeth! I have to mention that they have fresh cut flowers on every table which is a lovely touch and much appreciated. Every meal was wonderful. We didn't try the dessert but they looked great. I don't find criticism unless I have to but I would only say that some nice music would have been preferable to Magic FM, particularly when we were drinking delicious wine whilst listening to a news bulletin about Iran shooting down a passenger jet. One small negative on an otherwise perfect evening. X

It's a great place, great food but service is very slow,short in staff.If only he can hire one more person,enjoy

We passed by and found the restaurant pretty clean and decent. The menu pretty simple but good. It offered good, causal and authentic Italian food. Overall, the price pretty reasonable and service quite attentive. I would recommend to check this out if you stay in the area.

I really enjoyed the food, but even more I enjoyed the atmosphere. Looks like this is small business and the owner is doing everything to make everyone happy. Other staff very welcoming.By looking from the outside the street, it is not looking so welcoming... but now I now that it was GOOD CHOICE to get it. It is bright inside, so you can see what you eat, not like is some other places.Place is clean. Tables are clean. It is just well looked after.Prices ? Normal as for London, but as “extra” you can feel that no one is not playing the game and smile “because of boss said that”. They are really showing happiness and make you feel warm. Maybe beer is little bit overpriced... I loved spagetti.

Not a good experience.All the staff were friendly and welcoming. However drinks took a long while to come out and water wasn't kept filled up.The garlic bread was just a roll with aome cheese on it, so garlic at all.Pizza and pasta were standard, nothing special or to write home about.I had the lamb which was okay but vegetables were plain and boring.Small portion sizes too and food all came out at different times so not a good experience and wouldn't go back.

The pizza was great, good service, reasonably priced. The tables are comfy and the ambient is very nice. Only downside is the limited options.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while I was in the area. Simple, no frills Italian restaurant with a very home&style feel to it.The food was all right but it was nothing special. No dish stood out for me in terms of flavor, taste, or presentation.Coffee was good but the dessert was just too sweet. I couldn't taste the chocolate or the fruit flavors.The salmon pasta was all right. Plenty of sliced salmon in the sauce in the bottom.The garlic bread was too only for my liking.Very, very friendly service. There were few customers and the staff made sure I was comfortable and checked in with me regularly.
