About this restaurant



Sardinia (called Ichnusa by the ancient Romans and Greeks) has a great heritage of culinary culture and folklore, and we are proud to bring some of the unmistakable flavours of this Mediterranean land to you at our restaurant between Clapham Junction and Wandsworth. At Ristorante Ichnusa we offer the authentic taste from Sardinia, preparing our pastas and main courses in the traditional way our grandmothers did when we were kids. Strong, bold flavours and the freshest ingredients combine with handmade delicacies to produce an unforgettable experience for all who grace our tables. Our specialties include homemade malloreddus with sausage and saffron, braised rabbit, grilled venison, fresh fish and suckling piglets. For dessert there is also the mouth watering seadas drizzled with honey and a full range of tempting coffees and digestifs. We can also offer Gluten free and whole wheat pasta and Halal meats, meaning everyone can enjoy the real taste of Sardinia!

    We have eaten here several times now and find the food delicious, the service is attentive and we always get help with any menu queries. The lighting is a little on the bright side so I have only given 3 stars for ambience.

    The service was very good, friendly and helpful with any queries about the menu. The food was delicious and we will certainly eat here again soon, but possibly not on a Saturday night. We had booked and arrived promptly at 7 30 pm but at 9 15 were very politely, and with lots of apologies, asked if we could leave the table soon because other customers were expected. If we had been told that this was the case beforehand we would have booked the table earlier.

    Good honest Italian cooking with perfectly executed and tasty pasta along with excellent service. Much better than many of the other Italians in the SW11/SW12 area. Highly recommended for a simple yummy meal.

    It is a nice simple restaurant with delicious food. The fish stew was particularly good. The only thing that prevented me from giving the restaurant 5* is that using the Tastecard was an issue. It was accepted at the end with various restrictions on the type and the number of courses to have. It was not 50% off the bill as advertised, but 2for1.

    I used to live in Italy and have always liked Sardinian cuisine and it's not easy to find - a mix between seafood and game and they have delicious indigenous grape varieties. This place is fairly new and excellent - it has a Sardinian chef - and a v good maitre d. The winelist is excellent as is the menu, and there are daily specials which are always worth trying. Nice atmosphere - mellow and relaxed - and authentic. Well worth trying and taking their recommendations - they know what they are talking about!
