Terra Mia
Budget choice
Terra Mia retains the decor of the previous pizzeria that occupied this site, including knick-knacks on the walls, and an enormous mural of the Pont du Gard. The menu offers 20 or so pizzas, including all the classic versions you'd expect, plus some extras including the seafood-heavy Terra Mia, with prawns, anchovies and tuna. The pizzas are a touch smaller than you'd find in most of the chains, but that's no bad thing if you're saving room for a sorbet later. It's the pick-and-mix pasta choices that we like the best; there are ten or so pasta sauces and seven types of pasta available. So instead of spaghetti bolognese, for example, you can have the bolognese sauce with fusilli or penne instead. We went for the latter, and found it a simple, hole-filling satisfier. A cheery spot.

My wife and I eat here often - the specials menu is good, and Lino/Gerrado are happy to make dishes that are not listed on the menu (Spaghetti Vongole is a frequent request). Lunchtime prices are a steal - wine is a wee tad expensive. The atmosphere and friendly staff top off a very pleasant experience

An excellent eaterie, my favourite in Kingston/South West London, even with Jamie Oliver's opening just before Christmas. Lino & Gerrardo are the perfect hosts and the meals are good value, tasty and really satisfying. It's the small personal finishing touches that make the for the perfect meal.
