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!

    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
