A traditional Italian neighbourhood restaurant that's older than me!
30 years of serving the locals and it's easy to see why. This is a homely place, filled with regulars and newbies alike, all being tended to by the friendly, efficient waiters.
I got my fill of pizza right away with a garlic pizza to start, a slightly filling way to open the meal but very enjoyable, especially dunked in the deliciousness that was on the Man's plate opposite me; Calamare Mare E Monti, a sumptuous dish of baby squid, sweet chilli, garlic, white wine and pancetta. The flavours were incredible.
We spoilt ourselves with the starters as we both ordered authentic pasta dishes which seemed a little bland in comparison. They did taste like authentic home cooked meals but would be nicer if they were as flavourful as the starters.
Portions were enormous, great value for money. We couldn't finish all of our lovely pasta though so had to skip on the luscious looking puds, there's always next time...
Delicious meal...wonderful variety. Prosecco was chilled to perfection. Very friendly staff and enjoyed cocktails on the wonderful roof terrace.
My friends had looked online at the Menu and had decided on what they would choose. But the actual Menu had been reduced so they couldn't enjoy the food they had been looking forward to. My choice was on the Menu and was very good.
Really lovely place, good value for fresh pasta and very generous seafood portions!
Stumbled across this Italian on a Friday evening and it was just what we were looking for! Lovely food and brilliant service. I would highly recommend.
It's always nice to go there. Great food with reasonable prices. Proper traditional Italian restaurant. I've been going there since I moved in to Crystal Palace over 20 years ago. I'm never disappointed. I would like it to be open for lunches again
Hidden Gem! The best Aglio e Olio I’ve had outside the Mediterranean! Lorenzos daughter Natalie making sure it’s still gorgeous after 38 years in business! Bravisimma✨
Visited this restaurant some years ago and recently again.
The food is still delicious, staff polite but clearly overworked.
The restaurant opened a cosy terrace - here comes the fun part: on the terrace you can drink but you can't eat 🙈. Smoking is also permitted, but not eating. Also, the terrace is cluttered on one corner with many extra chairs and doesn't have any kind of music.
A big thank you to the waiters as they are doing fantastic work!
Honestly, the food here is incredible. My father and I have been coming here for years, we most recently visited last Wednesday for lunch and it was amazing as always. The staff are always very, very friendly, there's a great selection of wine and the food is unreal. I had the meatballs and pasta and my dad had a Ragu, both were five star. For starters we both had avocado prawns. The food was incredible. I cannot rate this place highly enough, I would eat here everyday if I could...
