Differing reviews for their current establishements:


SquareMeal

Despite the splendid location in County Hall, London?s former seat of government, there?s something a bit uninspiring about this eatery. The food is straightforward Italian-by-numbers ? pizzas, pastas, prosciutto & melon, tomato & mozzarella, steak with herby roast potatoes ? but the chef & his staff seem to lack the traditional Italian passion, & it shows in the perfectly palatable but unexciting food. Still, the prices are reasonable, especially given the location, the terrace is a pleasant spot for lunch, & it?s good for kids too.

Give them a chance, it hasn't even opened yet!

Sounds nice to me.

Sweet jehova........wikipedia is now the limits of our research ! Believe it or not chickens and pigs have been in existence in Italy for a long time x C


Carbonara is absolutely italian, what ain't is microwave heated pasta, floating in half a tin of cream. But then that's the thing, it about the passion you put into making something that makes it good food, even with blue chip ingredients you can still **uk it up.

Guys the place isn't even open yet and you are all having a pop at it!!! I say good luck and me and Mr Paps will be giving it a go and giving them a chance.


I love the forum .......but i hate it when people get stuck in and give such negative responses....some of you need to lighten up a little!!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
