Strada is more likely and a better option. But I have a special place in hell reserved for Prezzo. Rank


Bad enough that the former Indian opposite Half Moon in Herne Hill is going to be a Pizza Express (decimating the far superior pizza business in the Half Moon in one go)


But people will flock.

Doesn't look too bad from that link... can we really call it a crappy chain if they've only got one other branch in London that seems to have OK online reviews...


Wagas isn't what it used to be - they used to be relatively cheap and cheerful so you didn't mind stuff showing up at odd times etc. They really jacked their prices up a couple of years back (when they started to expand) but the service/food hasn't improved with it. I go to Busaba Eathai now when I want something fast but tasty.


Carluccios went downhill too after Antonio sold out. Used to love their penne giardinera - still love the parmesan/spinach balls - but their pasta tends to be overcooked and flabby these days. The tarfufi from the deli are still good though.


Hmmm.... or perhaps I'm just overly fussy :-$

Lots of reference to "our own pesto, home made ragu, hand cut chips" etc - so hopefully they cook a lot fresh in house.

Not entirely sure that this is the best advert for a restaurant... If it has to be home-made, then shouldn't we be eating in our own kitchens ;-)


But, I'm game to try it out - perhaps we should offer the EDF's services as a practice group for a soft launch.... or should that be a soft lunch

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
