The Italians know how to throw a party. Masaniello was opening its new branch in Surbiton this evening and an invitation to regulars and locals went out to join the party. I arrived soon after 6pm when it was due to begin and it was fairly quiet, but a warm welcome from owner/head chef Livio Te, waiter John who I recognised from Twickenham, and I immediately felt at home. Soon I had a glass of prosecco in my hand and was talking to other guests: friends, family, Twickenham regulars, Surbiton locals who’d passed the restaurant in the day when all was being prepared and were invited to come back later for the party. The restaurant started filling up fast and within a short space of time was full to the brim with happy people celebrating the opening of this new Italian restaurant.
Legit Italian vibes with amazing pizza. And seriously, their pistachiomissu - life-changing good!!! The team was super friendly, and the place is cozy and atmospheric!
The pizza was so good and big for me, I had to take leftovers home—proper size for a proper meal.
If you're into awesome Italian eats, hit up Masaniello Café Pizzeria for sure!
fantastic food! pleasant staff... nice atmosphere... cosy authentic Italian pizza place...
Great pizza and service..Would recommend booking as busy when we went and were lucky to get a table as before we had left all the tables were full in the early evening.
Started with an Aperol spritz and then tucked into my Calzone pizza…..Versuvio or similar…it was delicious…Ricotta, pepperoni and Nduja.
Excellent pizza never be disappointed. Its a bit expensive but bug potion and kind of worth it.
This pizzeria has an authentic Italian feel to it and we highly recommend it as the opposite to the mass production pizza restaurants that are to be found everywhere. Our server was Italian, the surroundings felt Italian and the pizzas tasted deliciously Italian.
We had a family meal for a birthday and the wide selection of pizzas catered for our differing tastes.
You obviously need to reckon on spending a little more than you might at a chain pizza restaurant but the difference is merited and that is not really a fair comparison in terms of quality of food and ambience anyway.
We ate early in the evening early in the week when there weren't a lot of fellow diners, but I suspect that it gets much busier at other times, so booking is likely to be recommended.
Loved our first visit to Masaniello. Can't belive we have never been before in the last 5 years.
We had the calamari for a starter which was delicious, followed by a pizza and a pasta dish. Again, both were excellent.
We finished the meal with the pistachi tiramisu which was fabulous.
The service was also great.
We'll be going back regularly!
Fresh and flavourful pizzas. Lovely local Italian with wonderful staff.
Marvellous Italian restaurant in Surbiton. The owner is super nice as well as the remaining staff. The quality of the food is fantastic and it really feels like Italian food cooked at home. The starters were to die for. I fully recommend it and I have to be careful not to get fat in this place!
Best food I have ever had in London, amazing and delicious food🤩🤩 Everything we had from starters to dessertes, ending it with a great italian coffee was absolutely amazing. Staff really friendly , everything was perfect, my favorite place from now on 🥰
