SquareMeal Review of Shambles Bar & Restaurant

Bronze Award

Shambles has been a fixture of the Teddington scene for over 30 years, providing very decent Italian food for a loyal brigade of locals and passers-by. It’s still a family affair, with daughter out front and the youngest son manning the stoves. Cicchette nibbles such as fried courgettes or salt cod beignets open the show, before a line-up of antipasti, pasta classics and bigger plates ranging from pan-roasted best end of spring lamb with roast garlic, potato and broad beans to hand-dived scallops with red prawns, celeriac and sweet ‘n’ sour saffron dressing. The menus are “always fresh” and readers also recommend daily specials such as smoked haddock florentine, while intriguing desserts run all the way from yoghurt foam with pomegranate, honeycomb and pistachio to chocolate ‘kangaroo balls’ (choux fritters) with cinnamon sugar and ice cream. The food is matched by a 100-bin Italian wine list, and it’s worth noting that Shambles is also open for late breakfast and brunch.

The best 'Family Restaurant' outside Naples(?)
Have been to a few restaurants in Italy, Naples in particular and they do ‘family’ very well, as a blushing Brit,I'd assume better than us, however none I visited was quite as nice as this – run by a family for families – How Italian is that!! Forget Spagetti – although they do this too, this is Mamma's best country cooking, but cooked by her son with her daughter front of house! Food is excellent, mid priced, friendly service and Prosecco on tap! Can't be beat for a family lunch or a romantic evening meal for two – especially wonderful on a summers afternoon or evening in the garden with wisteria shading you as a hanging garden, if it were grapes it WOULD be Italy! Another glass of Prosecco and it is…almost! How good? – We're having our wedding lunch there – that's how good!!
