Franzina Trattoria

Food was delicious! We went on Valentine’s Day and were lucky to have been seated on time. For most of our dinner there was about 6-7 couples standing in the entrance, where our table was, not able to be seated. Imagine there was some double booking of folks, so that did take away from our meal a little but it’s not really their fault. I would like to come back when it’s not the busiest date night of the year and try some of the specials they ran out of!

Very delicious food, the sfincione was one of the best I’ve ever ate, crocchè and cazzilli top and arancine as well! The owner/chef is very nice and it was a pleasure talking with him and he suggested us a very good wine, Nero D’Avola made by them

Came here on the off chance after the restaurant we had booked (Taperna) was shuttered on arrival. What luck! Very glad they could fit us in as this place is a gem. A relatively short menu, a bright space with lots of REAL plants (no fake plastic here), an open kitchen and friendly service. We shared the sfincione focaccia to start - if you love sweet/salty flavours and generously oiled bread you'll love this. For mains I had the tagliatelle pesto Trapanese - lots of flavour, hand made pasta, a rich tasty sauce with lots of pistachio and ricotta. My partner had the involtini which looked small but packed a punch and came with a side bowl of delicious caponata. We were both over the moon with our choices. The young man (Jeffery, according to the bill) who was doing service was run off of his feet and he was also guiding the kitchen quite a lot. He clearly knows what he is doing as there were no issues with waiting time or errors. He had a new assistant (Luca I think I heard him say) who was on his first shift but seemed to be a willing learner and will soon know the ropes, I'm sure. We're so glad we went here. First time in Brixton in years but I'd go back just for this.

Absolutely adore this place. The food was amazing, great vibe, and the owner really made this a special experience for my friend and I. We felt right at home and can’t wait to come back, thank you Peter!

We went here for our first anniversary and the host made it more enjoyable than we ever could have imagined. The food was delicious and the host was so generous and lovely. We will absolutely be coming here again, it was an incredible experience for a special event!

Nero di seppia tagliatelle dish was the highlight of the visit. If you decide to go for that one, please make sure you wipe your mouth thoroughly, before leaving the restaurant. Either this or you may end up on the receiving end of people admiring your unusual, seafood based makeup.

Incredible Italian in Brixton and by far one of the best restaurants in the area. The host was incredibly kind, warm and inviting on Christmas Eve.. each dish was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the arancini and ended up ordering one of each on the menu! All reasonably priced. You must try this restaurant!!!

I've been here a few times & it's always number one on my recommendations list! The food is always brilliant, and the prices are really good - especially for such great quality. Most recently, my boyfriend and I came for my birthday on the 20th June and were served by Pietro who absolutely made our visit! He was funny, super helpful, and helped us with menu recommendations. The restaurant also helped my boyfriend organise a cake for me which was so kind!
