Trattoria Calabrese

Trattoria Calabrese on Coombe Road is an independently run Italian restaurant named for the Calabria region in southern Italy, and it lives up to that billing with genuinely regional Italian cooking rather than the anglicised pizza-pasta mainstream. Homemade pasta, seafood specials and lasagne have all drawn praise, with reviewers consistently using the word 'authentic' — not a casual claim for Italian food in the London suburbs. Portions are generous and the atmosphere is warm and family-like in the way of a good Italian trattoria. TripAdvisor reviews are consistently positive, and the restaurant earned an OpenTable listing. In Norbiton's quietly residential Coombe Road, it stands out as a destination worth the trip.
