We were a family party of 10 who came in for lunch - it was delicious. Great service, lovely table by the window and all the food delicious. It?s great to be able to support local independence restaurants like this

Yet another lovely evening here with excellent food and service. Their homemade Tiramisu is second to none, absolutely excellent, never had better !

The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. We were welcomed by a very friendly lady (not sure if she is the Owner or Manager) but she made us feel very much at home. Good selection on the menu and they offer Gluten Free pizza and pasta. I had the GF Spaghetti Carbonara and I can honestly say it was the most delicious GF pasta I have ever eaten. We were not rushed at all - something I enjoy as a diner. Desserts were yummy. I would highly recommend visiting and I will definitely be back. Thank you so much L'affamato for a lovely evening!!

I?ve been to L?affamato with my wife many times. It is our preferred restaurant when we come to the UK to visit our daughter. We love the ?spaghetti a carbonara? and the ?seafood risotto?. Both are unforgettable. We will return always.

We love this restaurant! The food is delicious and freshly cooked to order. The service is excellent - we had a lovely young lad who was a trainee under the guidance of the delightful host, Sandra, and he was very attentive and efficient. Thoroughly recommend this little gem tucked away on Halfway, away from the centre of Walton.

We visited last night ( 2nd time round for me) we got there at 7.00 & sat us at a table right at the back by the pizza oven, it was boiling hot & air conditioning didn?t seem to be on because the big windows were open, we waited 45 minutes before we could order drinks, the food itself we didn?t get to order till a half hour later, the food came unexpectedly quickly after ordering, the table was half cleared & we were just left, I cleared the rest of the plates & piled them to one side as I got fed up with them there, we then managed to order dessert & coffee, dessert came quickly after we ordered, coffee took. forever, we wanted to leave without it. We didn?t finish till 11.00 that?s one course, dessert & coffee, 4 hours, they?re very understaffed, lady was really nice but service was appalling, I think someone is needed just behind the bar & she could just take the orders, it?s such a shame, lovely food, they were extremely busy but obviously cannot cope with that amount of people, the last time I visited was during the week, not so busy so all was good, my husband would not go there again.

We have just experienced an excellent meal at this restaurant. We were made to feel very welcome, recognised as previous customers and had an excellent meal with so much choice. We will go again. I had

Visited the restaurant on Saturday night, we live just round the corner and always thought the restaurant looked very nice and keen to support local businesses so we took some friends there. My boyfriend joined us late, and we had already ordered mains. When he arrived he ordered a drink and was told it was policy for him to also order food even though he had already eaten, which was totally fine and we agreed. Another waitress took a further drinks order but did not ask him for his food order. He had not yet decided on food and was considering to join in for dessert when we placed the dessert order. When we finished mains, the waitress approached my boyfriend and her words were ?I think you are being cheeky for not placing a food order?. He had not been asked to place his food order at all yet so this came across as very rude, particularly as he was looking at a dessert. The discussion then turned into a full blown argument with the waitress which was totally unnecessary. We decided at that point to pay the bill, excluding service charge and leave. It?s such a shame as this could have been handled so differently, we would have happily ordered food for him when asked, and we would have stayed for dessert and more drinks. We went to La Terraza across the road for more drinks and dessert, who offer exceptional service and are keen to get to know all locals personally. Nothing was too much trouble, song requests included! Compliments to the chef at L?Affirmato, food was excellent. But in order to differentiate this restaurant as an enjoyable, local, independent business the staff need to be polite, happy and positive. Not rude and argumentative. Sadly we have no plans to revisit and have cancelled a future reservation as a result of this experience. The waitress did return to apologise at the end, and said ?it was a bad day? which we all have every now and then but sadly it was too little too late.

First visit to this restaurant and I am so glad I chose it for my birthday gathering with the family. We visited on a Sunday, early evening and received a warm welcome. The restaurant itself had a very mediterranean feel, especially with the bi-folding windows open and tables set up outside. I can imagine on a warm summer evening it would be lovely to dine al fresco. The staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. The menu was extensive, varied and the food very tasty and well presented. Prices are reasonable too. This restaurant is well worth a visit if you are passing.

Amazing food, so delicious. Chef is really passionate about the food and certainly you can taste it. Stake was out of this world so tender and pasta with seafood so tasty. The Manager was very attentive and made our anniversary very special. Deffinately will go back.

The ?L?affamato? is a charming, small family run Italian restaurant a 5minute walk from Walton-on-Thanes railway station. We had a lovely welcome- indeed all the staff were very friendly-service with a smile! There was a large range of starters, mains and sweets available and portions were were all large. However, the quality of the food was outstanding- we had calamari with rocket and tomatoes with a round of ?cheesy garlic bread for starters followed by mains of spaghetti with crabmeat and fresh ginger (absolutely delicious), spaghetti with salmon and baby prawns and a lasagne. We were too full up for a dessert though we were offered a complimentary glass of delightful limoncello to finish. There is a very reasonably priced wine list - we had a very quaffable Sicilian white for £14 and the meals themselves were excellent value. The restaurant is also Covid compliant with all staff wearing face masks. This restaurant is well worth visiting-we certainly will the next time we are in the area.

We had an excellent meal as a family of 2 adults and 3 children. The portions are very generous, an extensive menu with lots of choices, and everything was delicious. The baked salmon was particularly great, and the pizzas fantastic (if perhaps a little salty). The children's meals in particular were huge, and great value with a drink, large pizza and ice cream for £7.95. The staff were very friendly, polite and hard working, although it was extremely busy (a Monday night with the 50% eat out to help out deal) and they were under-staffed so it did take a while. We really enjoyed our meal and will go back for sure. They do takeaways too which we will try!
