Double Espresso - by Constantine

Rating: 4.00This is a great local Italian, with probably the best pizzas in Wandsworth - light, crispy, with their own dough rolled and flattened in front of you. Super pasta, generous portions (I particularly recommend tagliatelle Double Espresso). Friendly, buzzy, happy place. No credit cards or cheques, but you won't need a huge amount of cash!This is a great local Italian, with probably the best pizzas in Wandsworth - light, crispy, with their own dough rolled and flattened in front of you.

My sister worked there for 12 hour after which she was told she wasnt going to get paid by the owner Andy.
She got devastated.
I tried to reason with Andy but he thought he was ok to rip off young girls.

Please dont support this rip-off business

Also, they prepare their salads in the sink and the kitchen is filthyMy sister worked there for 12 hour after which she was told she wasnt going to get paid by the owner Andy.

Easily the best Kebabs in the area, but it has been mentioned there is little competition.

Good food from simple dishes to more complex with nice friendly staff, and reasonable prices.Easily the best Kebabs in the area, but it has been mentioned there is little competition.

I have to second the previous review - this is a lovely place to have a coffee and a snack, although for me, the school theme is somewhat overplayed, and I'm not keen on the school tables to sit at, but then this is a cafe that is dedicated to families, and it's great that there's a place where children are welcomed with open arms.

That said, everything else is great - the service is friendly, and there's a great variety of items on offer, including muffins, cupcakes and savoury items like sandwiches, quiches, pasta etc, and it all looks home made.

Balham has recently seen the arrival of Starbucks, to add to the Caffe Nero already there. But it's places like this that give an area personality, and when it's as good as Bertie and Boo, there's no reason to seek the 'security' of a ubiquitous brand.I have to second the previous review - this is a lovely place to have a coffee and a snack, although for me, the school theme is somewhat overplayed, and I'm not keen on the school tables to sit at, but then this is a cafe that is dedicated to families, and it's great that there's a place where children are welcomed with open arms.
