About the Vibe
Prima Fila is your go-to for genuine Italian comfort food in Walton-on-Thames, where the lasagne actually has layers (unlike some places we know) and portions that could feed a small army. The upstairs dining room feels like a traditional trattoria with character, and the staff treat you like family from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place where you'll leave feeling stuffed, happy, and already planning your next visit for that killer banoffee pie.

Genuine Italian comfort food with generous portions
Prima Fila is a solid choice for authentic Italian fare in the Elmbridge area, particularly if you're craving comfort food done right. The lasagne here is genuinely impressive—proper layers, fresh tomato sauce, and served piping hot, which is rare these days. The garlic bread starter is huge and delicious, perfect for sharing before diving into mains like the aubergine dish or risotto. Dessert is a must: the banoffee pie is rich, creamy, and made with real bananas, not some sad imitation.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, especially upstairs where you'll find more character and a traditional Italian feel. Service is friendly and efficient, with staff who clearly take pride in making your visit enjoyable. While it's not fancy, that's exactly the point—it's about good food, generous portions, and a relaxed vibe without pretension. Prices are reasonable for what you get, making it a great spot for regular visits rather than just special occasions.
