if you think that's harsh, wait till Snorky finds out about the restaurant's fleet of branded minis.

I thought that HonaloochieB's post was pretty funny (and assumed that it was intended to be so)

*bursts in breathless with excitement, beaming and full of fresh juicy gossip*


Iknowiknowiknowiknowiknowiknowiknow!


I just ambushed the new owners as they were leaving on their matching scooters (ah, cute)


It's going to be *drum roll* an independent Italian serving home-cooked food with their own pasta and bread made on the premises. Opening in 7 weeks.


I'll certainly give them a try when they open.

Well it'll be almost impossible to keep me away from the place. I've just thrown a brick with a note wrapped round it over the hoarding beggingfor a table on the opening night.

And if they're willing to flog me a table I might have some of their fancy bread an' all.

I have to disagree Sean - I've only been the once but I thought the food was excellent... if the food in this new place is anywhere near as good it will be a great addition to the ED area... Obviously this is just my opinion!

not just your opinion Ally - most people on here seem to love Si Mangia so It's me in the minority. But having tried 3 different Italian staples I can't believe people haven't had better examples elsewhere.


A ragu sauce should be deep, dark and meaty whereas I found theirs light and overly sweet. Which people may prefer but I doubt many Italians genuinely favour the latter


Maybe I've been unlucky - another trip to Si Mangia for me then...

Go to the city airport

Jump on a cheap flight to rome

Try to find a restaurant that serves only OK food

See you in about two years


The pizzas in rome are thin, light, crispy, and delicious everywhere.

We should rename whatever it is they serve up here masquerading under the name of pizza.

Alternatively, go to Grissini on Abbeville Rd, Clapham. Probably the best Italian grub in Saaarf London. Having said that though I love Si Mangia too!

I agree with SeanMacGabhann, I think Si Mangia is OK, but the food is nothing that special in my opinion. I had a pasta dish too, and found the sauce was rather bland... in fact I prefer my own homemade sauce. Maybe it's just ignorance on my part, but if that is the case, so be it!

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
