Charming

The bustling café society vibe of London’s Balham High Road is the perfect setting for relaxed Italian restaurant Ciullõsteria. Friendly and laid back, the Ciullõsteria is inspired by the sun-infused food and chilled out nature of Southern Italy. The Calcagno family, owners of Ciullõsteria, has more than twenty years of experience in the Italian restaurant business, experience that is applied in every last aspect of the Osteria’s running – from the simple, comfortable and unpretentious design of the dining room to the always efficient yet unfailingly friendly service from staff who welcome guests as if they were old friends. But of course at Ciullõsteria it’s really the food that is the main focus. All traditional and completely authentic, Ciullõsteria provides home style Italian cookery ranging from hand made pasta to fresh, crisp twelve inch pizzas, all served with quality wines from the country’s best and most well known vineyards.

We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Ciullosteria and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The food was exceptional every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The attention to detail, from the birthday dessert surprise to the personalised service, made the night unforgettable. We left feeling truly taken care of and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for a special occasion and any occasion.

Food was very good. Well cooked and tasty. One negative (for us) was that the starters were too big. Negroni was beautiful
