About the restaurant

Since the Romans left, the Italians have been operating a policy of conquering the world's palate, plate by plate, and traditionally-run family restaurants like Cotto are their failsafe. The welcome is unfailingly warm here, the decor is authentic in feel, with murals on the walls, and the pleasures of the table are taken seriously indeed. Cotto is a 5-minute walk from the London Eye and the Aquarium, perfect for before or after family outings and it's also very popular with business customers during the week. There's live music on offer, too. As for the menu, try classic Tricolor salad to start, one of more than a dozen pastas, like Spaghetti carbonara, and a main course of simply and beautifully grilled Sirloin steak. Or just opt for a pizza and be happy!

Fulham

About the restaurant

As a small, family-run restaurant, our space is limited, but our wish to welcome everyone is big. To make sure we can host as many of our lovely guests as possible, we’ve introduced three sittings:

5:00–7:00 pm 7:00–9:00 pm 9:00 pm - Till Closing

This helps us keep the doors open, the atmosphere lively, and the food fresh from our kitchen to your table.
We truly appreciate your understanding — every visit means the world to us. 💛

Homely, informal, rustic - family business since 1995 ❤️️
Pappa Ciccia provides classically delicious Italian food to the locals of Fulham. It’s not an easy crowd to please, spoilt by any number of great neighbourhood eateries, but here at Pappa Ciccia, the cosy atmosphere and unfussy food keep diners coming back time and again.
Gluten-free and vegan options. Outdoor seating available

Balham

About the restaurant

Utter Waffle - a gem within the South London brunch scene! We opened our Balham restaurant in 2024, our second site after our Herne Hill baby! Since our launch, we've collected a small cabinet of trophies and awards, and have even cooked our savoury waffles on Masterchef, Sunday Brunch & Saturday Kitchen!
Our busy brunch restaurant serves everything from fried chicken & waffles and our signature avo smash, to bottomless brunch & craft beers. For those with a sweet tooth - fret not as the desserts are pretty good too - (we're even the proud winners of The Best Dessert in the UK (British Street Food Awards)), so there really is something for everyone!
We pride ourselves on a super-inclusive menu and ability to cater for those with dietary requirements; We're co-owned by a coeliac, don't handle any gluten on-site, plus we boast loads of vegetarian and vegan options too! So what are you waiting for!?
