Wonderful place I would recommend it to a customer surveys excellent best value for money ���
My favorite place in Balham Great food and excellent staff
This is a tricky one to vote.... the atmosphere, family run vibe and food would score really high but the service doesn't match.
The food is incredibly good value and huge portions that taste very authentic and fresh.
However we had to wait for 40 minutes to be seated, even though we booked. We were given a glass of prosecco but no one communicated with us. Then when we were seated we we had to wait 40 minutes to order and ask 4 times if we could order. This pattern followed with dessert and asking for the bill. Luckily we were in no rush and I had been before so expected poor service. It's a shame reading other reviews that are 2 years old that this has always been the case. More staff needed and more attentiveness but great food!
O Bucci é um restaurante muito bom para quem gosta de comida italiana. Já fui varias vezes e recomendo. A Lasanha a bolonhesa é maravilhosa e os garçons são muito competentes.
If you haven't been to Bucci's in Balham, then go NOW! Incredibly friendly staff and ridiculously affordable Italian food, you simply cannot compare.

Such a mixed bag! We were a big group (about 16) and the place was busy, but still, we'd been there an hour and 20 before our starters came, and mains we about 2 hours in. Saying that, the food is very authentic (I got back from touring Italy a couple of days before and the menu was spot on) with a great selection. I sampled the tricolore salad to start and also nibbled on the garlic mushrooms (needs bread with it) and the antipasti platter and they were all fab.
Mains are also extremely good but again, a couple of dishes arrived after everyone else was pretty much finished. The cannaloni though, oh my god - herby, tender minced beef, spinach, perfect pasta and bechamel that wasn't too rich. Obligatory bubbly mozzarella on top. A great dish, loved it. The pizzas are also good, gooey centres and chewy crusts.
The best bit was the crazy birthday show! All the kitchen staff come out and they have horns, tambourines etc and sing the loudest, longest, most Italian happy birthday I've ever heard, it was fantastic. It's worth going just for that, tell them it's your birthday.
Unfortunately my phone died so no pics but imagine good, authentic, hearty Italian grub, bags of personality from the owner (less so from the staff) and an overall very good night and you're there.
Very good meal, excellent service and definitely recommended.
FANTASTIC FOOD. Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and find the food to be outstanding, portions are "large" and enjoy our trips to this great little gem
Best Italian in Balham. Really like this place and come here on a regular basis. Excellent pastas and the pizza is probably the best in Balham. The boss is very welcoming and always makes sure we are looked after. Love the complimentary limoncino and biscuits at the end of every meal too! There's a reason why it's always full of us Italians! :-)
Truly the best pasta I have ever had. An amazing local Italian
Great spaghetti carbonara. Very friendly and nice atmosphere
Hidden Gem. Been walking passed it for years, never really paid much attention. Went there the other week, loved the food, the service & the mild eccentricity of the place. If it's someones birthday all the staff will parade around & sing happy birthday.
The Prawn & Avocado starter was perfect plus the steak & mushrooms sauce was excellent.
If you fancy some fizz the Prosecco was an ideal accompaniment.
I don't know if it is a British thing but service in this country tends to be pretty poor... Until I came to Bucci. The staff were so friendly and professional, and the food... THE FOOD.
I had a seasonal pasta dish with clams and my partner had a pizza and both were incredible, and very well priced. We also had the fried calamari as a starter and it was the first time in a while that I've had calamari that hadn't been fried to high heavens and turned to rubber.
11/10 restaurant, I could not recommend this place enough.
Grazie mille! 👌
Homely Italian place in Balham. Friendly staff. Good pasta. I had the carbonara and my wife had the ragu. Both hit the spot. Ordered a tiramisu to finish it off and it did not disappoint. Great value for money as well at £25 per person. If you want a local Italian spot in Balham for decent Italian food, look no further.
Good place for a meal with friends. Food was very nice and service was friendly and efficient. Great value for money too.
The food was okay. I had ordered seasonal dish for this summer. The taste was not as strong. The service was good.
Food was very nice. Lovely pictures around the restaurant. Some tables outside
I have experienced many restaurants in London but I'm afraid none of them compare to Bucci's service, value for money and taste of food! Absolutely incredible and we've been back 3 nights in a row. Highly recommended!!
Really lovely evening. Food was delicious, we had the Bucci speciality pasta and pizza. Did some really good deals on wine/meal combos throughout the week which made it very affordable.
Nice atmosphere and lots of little touches from the staff made it perfect.
Fantastic Italian place. Absolutely amazing service. Food is of a high standard and reasonably priced. Went here for my birthday and they knocked it out of the park (singing happy birthday in Italian is so much fun) - highly recommend this restaurant in Balham!!!
Delicious food, lots of seating, kind staff and nice atmosphere. Our drinks came slightly late and they gave them to us for free, which was very kind. Also the prices are low compared to the high quality food and service. 😀
One of my favourite Italian restaurants in London. Very good prices, lovely food and the staff are all friendly too.
