An incredible authentic Italian restaurant run by a lovely family. Some of the best food I've had outside Italy! Would recommend to everyone. Have been back every week, and lots of friends have been and raved about the pizza/pasta.

Such a loving atmosphere, the service was so lovely and nice. We went on a Sunday around 4pm and it was so peaceful. Food and dessert were amazing. Best pizza I’ve ever had. The tiramisu was sooo delicious, best I’ve had. Would 1000% recommend. Prices were very affordable 13 for a large pizza.

As ever, the food is delicious - best pizzas around. The service is fantastic and the restaurant is really cute. Incidentally, I was there at the same time as someone who complained about the food and service and gave a 1 star review on google. They ate their food and the owners were not rude to them.

Beautiful find! A family of 4 and the kids loved their pizza and pasta! Only a few tables and small kitchen, so book in advance and have some patience for the superb chef.

I have eaten here several times and also gotten takeaway. By far the best pizza in Coulsdon and far beyond. Authentic food and service, with two Italian guys from Parma running the place. The restaurant itself is small and intimate with a very good ambiance. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Even my wife who doesn't usually like pizza loves them!

What a little gem this place is! Tried it on the off chance instead of the usual Pizza Express, and we will go here in future now. Lovely pizza, good size, plenty of toppings and really tasty well cooked base, and cheaper the the high street chains. It's got a real cozy feel, not to big and feels really personal almost like eating in a private location! Give it a go if in the area5**

I bought some pizzas to takeaway for a family gathering from Barone. You can call up or order online and they are both straightforward. It's easy to order for 'ASAP' or in advanced. The staff are friendly and accommodating for requirements. Last but not least, the pizza was on time and delicious! The whole family loved the pizza base, sauce and the toppings. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending to anyone who asks for local, authentic pizza.

Had lunch for two recently. It is small but compact, cozy and intimate. It serves good honest Italian food . Pizza was delicious. Loved the cannoli. Perfect service , attentive but unobtrusive. I have already recommended it to friends and will return myself of an evening to try the rest of the menu.
