So help me Jesus.


An Italian? Really? I've said this before, but I'll keep saying it till I'm blue in the face. We HAVE Italians. Lots.


Il Mirto - Melbourne Grove

Si Magia - Forest Hill Road

Case Smerelda - towards Nunhead

Il Giardino - opposite Peckham Rye station

Locale - East Dulwich Road

The Gowlett and the Actress do pizzas

There is another new Italian opening on Bellenden Road.


AND, to top it off, the two things you've suggested....Bella Pasta and Zizzis....are NOT Italians. They serve some vague approximation of cod-Italian pre-cooked, packet sauce slop. The have about as much relation to Italian food as a horse and cart to a Ferrari. Please, stop it now before I explode in a mess of puttanesca sauce!

I went out with a bella pasta waitress for a wee while.

Her tales could turn you grey haired over night.

The food was so bad she wouldn't even spit on it leave alone eat it, which is something of a coincidence because potentially libellous anecdotes and the vicar said 'Not on your nelly' aha, ha ha... uhhhh hhhhuuuurrrhhhhhhh.

It's not anal. It's pointing out that asking for another Italian when we already are inundated with them is nonsensical. It would be like asking for another curry house. We have loads. Say you don't like the ones we have and discuss what a new one might bring and I might have some sympathy.


Pointing out their addresses saves the OP asking "where's that then?"


And pointing out that neither Bella Pasta nor Zizzis bears any resemblance to actual Italian food is just good eating (as Piers points out). I mean, it's actually depressing. An it doesn't even have the excuse of being cheap.

You've obviously not been in the village for a while Sean. Bella Pasta closed down about three years ago and was replaced by Cafe Rouge.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By MariaSE22 · Posted

      Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly.

      Where to take a 9 year old during summer holiday.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks

      Who to call to dispose of a dead fox please?

      By Peckhampam · Posted

      When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
