Best place for lunch in Bermondsey. Great pastas and paninis. You definitely need to try the Roma. A pulled pork and bacon panini in a crispy roll warmed up to create a heaven sandwhich.
The pastas are really good to to grab if you want something warm and filling. The pesto chicken is my favourite but they are all good.
This place does have seeing but nor too much! And does get queues at lunch time so be prepared for a small wait!

Eat Alia might be what comes to mind when you describe a restaurant as a 'hole in the wall.' Long and narrow, this little deli is stuffed to the brims come lunch time, not unlike their paninis! These delicious morsels come in every assortment of flavours, so choosing can be rather difficult. And by the time you've entered the queue there are about 5 other people already behind you ready to order!
I finally decided on the parma ham, mozza, tomato, and spinach, which came together beautifully in a soft brown bread. The flavours were very nice, if not a tad on the salty side (I did order the parma ham, so I only have myself to blame for that one). With a homemade lemonade on the side, this lunch really hit the spot. I particularly loved the mozza cheese, which was a soft and mellow balance to the ham.
My dining companion opted for one of the vegetarian panini, with courgette and sundried tomatoes, which she very much enjoyed. That being said, they are quite filling for sandwiches, and neither of us finished them! Eat Alia, is better for takeaway anyway, so we wrapped our leftovers to go and went on our way!
Great paninis and Italian treats. Excellent service. Hidden gem of Bermondsey
Went to buy some ice-cream here today. I got a scoop of salted caramel, which was cloying, and a scoop of “oreo crunch” (just a regular cookies & cream). The latter was extremely delicious though! The portion was not great, not terrible but the price was way better than the expensive Borough market analogues, thus overall I was happy with the purchase! The staff were friendly too
Best pain au chocolat on the street - it’s got custard inside! Their deal pairs it (or any pastry) with a coffee (or any hot drink) for the price of a pastry alone next door. Not to mention that the pastries here are so much tastier/fresher than the bakery’s next door despite what the reviews and window display may proclaim! Staff are friendly and up for a chat, or at least willing to suffer through one with a smile. I can’t imagine any locals choose Comptoir instead of here - Eatalia.

Almond croissant was legitimately really good , while the pistachio cannoli was slightly lacklustre.
I'd have given it 5 stars if it didn't cost me £6.95 for a SMALL cannoli, a MEDIUM croissant and a weirdly large coffee
Local gem. We've used them for a couple of corporate orders and people were delighted with the food (pasta, foccacia sandwiches, amazing salads) - it's excellent value for money, great quality ingredients and the best customer service.
Pedro the manager is just amazing, he put together awesome menus to fit our budget and was most accommodating.
I've also personally had breakfast and lunch items from their menu and loved it!
Great food (I had the Thai Green Lentil soup) and EXCELLENT customer service from Pedro.
Local legends :) Delicious range and friendly service
Great service and amazing sweet treats.
Great coffee - had the cowboy beans which were super tasty - friendly staff
That pistachio cannelloni ONG!!!! Should of gone for way more then one. Will def be back to restock.
Best Cafe on Bermondsey Street and in London Bridge. The panini options are not only endless, but all delicious. Also the pasta dishes are unreal. Pedro the boss, is an absolute legend!
Great place for breakfast, coffee and lunch. Good value and great quality. Staff are friendly and I can't stress how reasonable the prices are for the area.
Have tried their pasta, soups, and sandwiches, loved them all. Also the caramel shortbread is very good. Highly recommended.
Charming peeps, yummy food with a wide selection of hot, cold, salads, sandwiches and pasta. Amazing meal deal value on Bermondsey Street. Eatalia! Eatalia!
Proper coffee price picture.
