Cassio Restaurant is a family run Italian restaurant and pizzeria at 32 Tooting Bec Road. It has served the neighbourhood for more than a decade, building its identity around recipes passed down through the family and an easygoing dining room. The combination of generous food and thoughtful service suits weeknight dinners, celebrations and larger private occasions.
Starters include bruschetta with seasoned tomato and basil, pasta and bean soup, fried calamari and mozzarella enclosed in crisp bread. Antipasti, salads and soup allow a table to begin lightly or assemble several plates to share. The cooking stays rooted in recognisable Italian flavours, using garlic, herbs, tomato, olive oil and cheese without unnecessary complication.
Pasta is a particular speciality, moving from spaghetti with beef ragù and classic lasagne to pappardelle, tagliatelle and seafood combinations. Penne with sausage and vegetables provides a hearty alternative, while risotto brings rice together with mixed seafood. Pizza choices include Capricciosa with salami, mushrooms, olives and ham, alongside house recipes and familiar combinations of prosciutto, vegetables and cheese.
Chicken Milanese, veal saltimbocca, calf’s liver and grilled steak extend the menu beyond pasta and pizza. Seafood choices include grilled tuna and skewers of tiger prawns and scallops, served with potatoes and vegetables. Tiramisu, panna cotta, coffee and Italian wine complete a relaxed meal that feels grounded in family cooking rather than formality.
