One of Deptford’s few culinary hotspots worth remembering – this white-walled café on the high street “remains an excellent option for elevated Italian dining” (certainly by local standards). The menu is short but interesting: typically a couple of pasta options and two or three main dishes with a meat, fish and veggie option.

"Visited twice in the last 6 months. Second time much better. Well made and thought out food with good presentation and service. Ambience is ok although the restaurant area is looking tired and in need of a refresh. "
