Ferraris in Balham has been on my to do list for probably over the last two years but for some reason I haven’t really found myself in South London to go there. Something about that North/South London divide. Heh heh. Finally, Sandra arranged for Jules, Fatkins, herself and I to have dinner there and it was worth the trip. Serving Italian cuisine Ferraris is a pleasant restaurant for its atmosphere, service and of course quality of food. The only disappointment? Not seeing an actual Ferrari anywhere. LOL.

The four of us decided to take advantage of the set meal which was very good value (£17) for three courses. This set menu deal changes weekly, presumably from the items on the a la carte menu, so there’s no point describing the options however with four options offered for each course we had more than enough choices to choose from. Strangely enough we all seemed to have similar tastes and had more than one common dish between us!

The food was extremely delicious and ingredients of very high quality. I couldn’t fault the service which was responsive, efficient and extremely friendly. We didn’t have to wait very long for our food (though admittedly being a Monday night it wasn’t extremely busy.) Nice atmosphere in the restaurant as well with the low music playing in the background and the pleasant interior decoration. Actually it was just nice to be in a dining venue which didn’t require us to shout at each other!

Worth a visit if you’re looking for pleasant Italian in South London.
