B Grossi Don Luigi in Streatham Hill is one of those rare independent restaurants that genuinely deserves more recognition. Everything here is made with care, using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in the flavour of every dish. Maria runs the front of house and is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Her partner Alessio is the chef, and you can taste the passion and skill in his cooking. The food is consistently excellent. The zucchini fritte are a highlight. Light, crisp, and perfectly cooked. The pizzas are outstanding, with some of the best dough in London (coming from a fellow Italian). The G.O.A.T pizza is my favourite and is one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Drinks are also done properly. The Negronis are made exactly as they should be, well balanced and strong (in the best way). The pasta dishes are also worth mentioning. The pasta is freshly made and there’s real attention to detail in each recipe. Every dish has its own character and flavour, and nothing feels rushed or generic. It’s proper Italian cooking. Don Luigi is a hidden gem and exactly the kind of independent Italian place people should support. It’s a restaurant built on quality, passion, and proper hospitality, and it’s always a pleasure to eat there.

D B Loved this place. Loved the food, the staff and the service. Super friendly and most importantly HIGH QUALITY JERK. Homemade hot sauce, meat was so tender and flavourful.

Minh Hoang Needing some noodles on a Sunday, we found this place on Google whilst staying overnight at our friends. Lovely beef pho, generous portion of noodles and sliced beef (unlike a lot of Vietnamese restaurants we visited). Great attentive service and nice touch on the complimentary prawn crackers and table water as standard. Loved the salted pepper squid too.

Gbeke The food was quite delicious and affordable, and the staff were super friendly. The restaurant is just a bit cramped but aside from that the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Would definitely recommend and will visit again soon.

Christina Hirst Delicious food. Very well presented. Friendly staff thank you!

Will George-Carey I’ve been coming here for years and for good reason - it’s brilliant. For the past few years there has been a number of chefs who take residency of the dinner menu here, and those that I have tried have been really good. The most recent dinner visit I went to was Marta Sandini who did a European-Asian fusion menu - was delicious! On a much more regular basis I come to Naughty Piglets for their lunch time sandwiches. Margaux’s Jambon Beurre is easily the best Jambon Beurre i’ve ever had and could well be the best sandwich I’ve had in London. There are other sandwiches available each time (shout out to the Pan Bagnat) but if you’re going for the first time then you have to get the Jambon Beurre.
