Best Romantic Restaurants in Balham

Loved it. The restaurant is simply beautiful, the staff are lovely and brought me a cute birthday treat. I highly recommend this place.

My husband and I visited Clos Maggiore yesterday for a late celebration of our 22nd anniversary, and it was nothing short of perfection! This was our second time dining at this gem of a restaurant, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting. The intimate, romantic setting, especially under the stunning conservatory with twinkling lights, made the evening feel so special. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. And the food? Absolutely divine. Every dish was a work of art, from presentation to taste. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill, with bold flavors and perfectly balanced textures. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it truly made the evening unforgettable. Thank you, Clos Maggiore, for making our celebration so memorable. We can’t wait to return again for another special occasion!

Really lovely Italian restaurant, family run feeling about the place with really nice Italian music gently playing in the background. Food was delicious too! Particularly the starters , there were so many good ones, was hard to pick one.

Food was lovely I would have ate more but I was by myself at the counter which was lovely made feel very welcome ! Would recommend to anyone as there is a good selection .
