This tiny, hip Peckham local “delivers great food” from a short but impeccably prepared Italian menu. They look after their neighbourhood clientele well, with “home delivery kits a lifesaver during lockdown”. The name checks Pellegrino Artusi, 19th-century don of Italian cuisine.

This “tiny and impeccable” Italian in Peckham “punches well above its weight”, thanks to a team who “really put the effort in”. Star billing goes to the “fresh pasta to die for”, but there’s “flavour in every dish”, and locals count themselves “so lucky to have it”. Named after the 19th-century doyen of Italian cuisine, Pellegrino Artusi, it’s also something of a “hipster heaven – check out the beard count!”.

A “limited seasonal menu knocks it out of the park” at this “star neighbourhood restaurant” in Peckham (named after Pellegrino Artusi, the 19th-century ‘godfather of Italian cuisine’). There’s a “laid-back, hipster” vibe, while the “simple and cheap ingredients are well chosen and delivered at a compelling price”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The best Italian food I have found in Londo...
Reviewed 9 months, 11 days ago

"The best Italian food I have found in London in a long time, particularly the inventive use of ingredients. Service is warm and friendly, and there is value to be found on the wine list."
