Ricci's Restaurant - A restaurant you will want to make your regular by K8Evans

Tags: italian, good value, family & home feel

We are a young professional couple with high standards when it comes to dining out. During the three years that we have been living in South Sutton, we have become regular visitors to Ricci's - perhaps twice a month.

The restaurant is a stoneâ¬"s throw from the station but is the last restaurant in the line of shops. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that opportunist diners find themselves walking into one of the first Italians they come across rather than venturing a hundred yards to the end of the parade.

But Ricci's is certainly worth the few extra steps. The food is fantastic, the prices are very reasonable and the family who have owned the restaurant for years deliver the kind of service you would expect from a family-run Italian which genuinely values its customers.

The older lady who owns it always points out that her pizza bases are fresh and cooked from scratch in their big clay oven. Whatever you do, donâ¬"t confuse a Ricci's pizza base with a frozen one - I'm not convinced that you'd be forgiven. Her elderly and rather jolly husband will always joke in his strong accent (we think he's Italian) that he finds the credit card machine confusing. We find them really endearing - genuine, lovely people.

Their pizzas are amazing and the guy who has been manning the clay oven for years is either a perfectionist or he's got more pizza-preparing experience than you could shake a breadstick at.

For us, ambiance is key and Ricci's has a really pleasant, cosy atmosphere which I suspect is helped by the music (think Magic or Heart FM).

Ricci's is the restaurant you will want to make your regular.

We feel that if we are going to eat out during the credit crunch, we want to spend our money supporting small restaurants like Ricci's.

These locals and the people behind them were adding real colour to the community long before the chains arrived with their frozen pizza bases.

I was pleased to see the snazzy little sign go up over tis new restaurant. Yes, yet another italian restaurant, but a nice atmosphere, inviting atmosphere, and this type of restaurant is always going to be popular for a relaxed informal meal out. Pasta and Pizza, always a safe bet and a nice choice of dishes here. Good hearty food, service pretty good considerng they are usually busy, no complaints at all with any aspect. There is also a suitable choice of wine at reasonable rates. Eating out is expensive in this country but this would be a pretty good choice for a casual tasty meal out if you don't want to spend a fortune, or just dont fancy cooking at home one night. Well worth a visit and easy location at the top of Banstead High Street.I was pleased to see the snazzy little sign go up over tis new restaurant.

PizzaExpress - I Love Pizza Express, But Not This One... by MSE_Eater

There are many fine restaurants in Sutton, unfortunately this is not one of them. Pizza Express is one of my favouirte chains, however I have been let down twice by this branch in particular. It has a lot going for it; a great menu, excellent location on the way to Sutton railway station and a reasonable amount of room inside.
I'm not sure how you can make a winning formula go so wrong. Sloppy service, incorrect food, poorly cooked food that I have had to send back twice in one sitting and on two different occassions. Add to this an apparent lack of caring from the mangement team and a meal here has disaster written all over it.

Mama Dumplings - Great Food, Good Price, Lacking Atmosphere by MSE_Eater

I was a little suspicious of Mama Dumplings when it first opened in Sutton. It is very basic in appearance and I passed it by many times looking at it curiously until one day I gave up and went in as I fancied a change.
I sat down reviewed the menu and ordered. The waitress took my order effciently, but she could have been more freindly. To be honest I remained pretty unimpressed until the food arrived.
The food came quickly, it was hot and fantastically tasty and I would highly recommend it. The soups and duck are an absolute treat, indeed all of the food I have ever had there has tasted great. I have since returned many times and never been let down.

It's location is ideal, almost sat on top of Sutton railway station and it is good for all the local offices at lunch time.

It's just such a shame the place doesn't have a little more soul.

Nando's Chickenland - by Roberteggers

Review by Roberteggers

Rating: 3.00Nandos in Sutton is a good example of this lively, no nonsense food chain. With over 190 restaurants in the UK I was expecting the food and service to be a bit mass produced. Surprisingly my experience was much better than you get in your local burger bar. The place was busy but service was quite quick, friendly and helpful.
The menu is a basic mix of chicken and chips/salad combinations in all sizes. This sounds a bit run of the mill however Nandos saving grace comes with their wonderful range of Peri-Peri sauces.
Overall if youâ¬"re in the Sutton area and fancy some good basic food at a reasonable price you could do much worse than NandosNandos in Sutton is a good example of this lively, no nonsense food chain.

This is my favourite Indian restaurant in the area. It has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere if you eat in and they are always courtious and friendly if you have food delivered to your home. The food is always of a very high standard. It is always hot, fresh and well presented. I have tried other Indian restaurants for food to be delivered but this is by far the best I've tried. They deliver quickly and the food is so nice! Try the coconut rice! Whether you eat in, take-away or have food delivered, the food is very reasonably priced.

Perfect Kebab Take Away - Not so Perfect Kebab by mynameisrui

Review by mynameisrui

Rating: 3.00Another one of those places where youâ¬"d only even consider when youâ¬"ve had one too many. Offering, as youâ¬"d expect, your typical kebab and burger food, Perfect Kebab used to be one of the better places to eat. It has gone downhill in recent times and is not what it used to be.

Due to its location (opposite Love 2 Love) it is always very busy and the staff are normally quick to serve you and get you out of the door as soon as possible. There are no seats or anything so expect to eat it on your way home. It is also open till about 4am on the weekend.
