La Margherita Pizzeria - Croydon

This is a trattoria in every sense of the word and it's excellent. Brilliant service from Daniella who makes everyone feel welcome and nothing is to much trouble. The food matches the service. Pasta that you suspect Mamma is out back making. The Gnocchi got a full tick of approval. My Spagetti Gamberri was al dente. Caprese salad was fresh with excellent Buffalo mozzarella. I highly recommend this place. They try hard and they get it right.

I have been visiting La Margherita infrequently (only because I live in Brisbane) and always look forward to the delicious menu and friendly greeting and service.Over the last 4 years, i don't think I've had the same waitress twice but Daniella chooses her staff with great skill and the service is always genuinely friendly and efficient, without the desire to denude your table as you consume the last morsel.Francesco's pizzas are brilliantly suited to my and my guests' taste.This week I ordered a lamb fettucinni which was just spectacular. There are plenty of intimate tables for two or they will sort out the front room to suit large groups.And, to touch it off perfectly, they are BYO. If you forget: there's a bottle shop right across the road.

Went out for our friends birthday, and chose to stay local because it was a weeknight. Had never been to this restaurant before and now I ask myself why. From the warm welcome you get as soon as you enter to the amazing food. You can taste the quality of the ingredients they use which makes their menu prices very reasonable. They even put a candle on my friends dessert and sang happy birthday unexpectedly.

For a small suburban pizzeria this restaurant really does it brilliantly. Food is fantastic. Atmosphere is wonderful and you will be greeted like an old friend. The offering varies regularly and is interesting and creative. I tried the garlic prawns. Beautiful fresh prawns in a rich tomato and garlic sauce. Really a wonderful dish and a great take on an old standard. I followed with the pizza of the day which was a wonderful creation of fig and gorgonzola. Caprese salad is always a winner. How long since you found a restaurant that doesn't charge corkage? I love this place. It feels like dining with an old friend.

Lovely experience been there twice and have enjoyed both times food is great and service is fast my favourite is the octopus in the sauce
