Really??


I went there in the summer and thought the food was very mediocre. They welcome kids yes, but that doesn't make up for the dismal food. My husband had pasta which was quite nice but I had a pizza which if you'd told me it was a frozen one from Iceland I wouldn't have been surprised. I certainly won't be returning

Sorry to say I was very unimpressed with the food at Si Mangia; and I really wanted to like it because its so handy for where we live. But being child-friendly and convenient aren't good enough reasons for us to return, I don't think. Unless it has improved tremendously in the past year or so?

Been eating there a occasionally for years and both kids and adults have loved it. Never eaten pizza though as my oldest has said "why eat pizza at a place that does not specialise in it" (his cue for suggesting Pizza Express) so, they eat all the other yummy stuff on the menu (they love the prawns, pasta, bruschetta and gnocci).

Afraid we went a couple of months ago following reviews we'd read on the forum (actually our first meal out for probably at least 2 years - eek!) and we were really disappointed. The food was mediocre at best - we cook as good ourselves at home - and very little in the way of meat. We used to love the Italian on East Dulwich Road and was really hoping it'd be similar.


I can see it being a good place with the kids and may go back for that. But not one for an adult meal for us.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
