Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
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 had the best dinner at Ciullõsteria. The place is really well decorated and felt super cosy on a cold winter night. The service was great and very well organised. Fantastic drinks and outstanding food. I have already recommended it to quite a few people.

My wife and I were out for a ‘low key’ diner and we were really pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff, the amazing quality of the food and the attention for details. A really lovely evening - we will definitely be back!
