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.

Jon Porter Amazing fried chicken and chips, probably the best Ive had in London so far! Juicy and crispy, great skin/batter. The man behind the bar was also really nice and helpful, letting me substitute out parts of the meal deal. Will definitely be back

Autumn Y Youre directed to a check in area upon arrival where you can drop off your stuff in a locker (free). Youll need to hand in your ID at that time to get a visitors pass. Following that, you make your way into the prison. Youll have to remove jackets/jewelry/extras, go through a metal detector, and get a pat down. Youre then led into the restaurant. Youll be sat, given time to look over the menu, and ask questions if needed. The environment itself looks like one of a regular restaurant, with the exception of plastic cutlery. The staff were partly in training when I was there, so they were decently chatty and eager to help with anything. They did try to upsell a decent amount, but that is probably in part to the training bit, in terms of learning how to work that in more flawlessly. Ordered a pork chop that came with soba noodles and a smashed cucumber salad. The food tasted good overall. They have their regular desserts as well as ones that are made by the inmates there (separate menu for these). So ask to see what those are to support them if youd like. When leaving, you will need to be escorted, so just be sure to ask for your host before you head out.

M P Very delicious food, we were so impressed. Really good quality West African food. Every dish was very tasty. Good choice of meats. Service nice- waitress patient and explained options well. Restaurant really clean. Looking forward to having the food again.

Janna Chua Such a delightful dinner! Big servings. And the owner is so kind and humbling. Thank you!

Katherin Sarmiento We celebrated the Christmas party for my marketing agency here and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive from start to finish. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and there was plenty of it — all our guests were very happy with both the quality and the service. We were able to arrive early to set everything up in the event space, and the team was always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Without a doubt, highly recommended and an excellent venue for private events and meetings.
