Just checked their website to find the following message.


"Dear customers....

Si mangia restaurant has been aquired by Lorenzo restaurant, crystal palace and is now closed for the next 3 to 4 weeks for refurbishment and staff training. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and the short notice however we hope to be open as soon as possible with a new management team and menu. In the meantime should you wish to book at our crystal palace branch please call 020 8761 7485. We look forward to serving you again soon and si mangia wishes to thank you for your custom over the last 9 years."

We only ate in si mangia once and I ended up with food poisoning, thought the food tasted strange when eating it and commented at the time to the staff then spent all night throwing up(and my birthday:( love lorenzos so happy there will be one opening up a bit closer.

I have always enjoyed the CP Lorenzo's (they did a great lunch-time deal as I recall) - I haven't had a bad experience at Si Mangia - they were always to my mind a very old style Italian (like we had in the 70s) - none the worse for that as they delivered what they promised - but I probably prefer the more modern (regional) take on Italian food. But the staff were excellent and welcoming.


Let's hope the new ED Lorenzo's can match its CP parent.

    • LL has always reminded me of Crouch End. Went to Crouch End a while ago and three huge supermarkets now dominate it. Soulless. 
    • I completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly  
    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.
