We went there for lunch on Saturday as a result of this glowing review, and would have had it on the terrace.


We were so disappointed to find that the menu consisted solely of various not particularly interesting looking salads plus three dishes on bread.


The waitress did say that she would ask the chef if he could cook us something else, but we did not want to put him (I think it's a him) to the trouble, and in any case at 1pm we were the only people in the place, outside or inside, so the atmosphere was not exactly wonderful.


We decided to go elsewhere and try in the evening sometime in the hope that the menu would be more varied and/or interesting.


I realise the salads were probably in response to the very hot weather, and I like salad, but if I spend money on eating out I do expect to get offered something a bit different that I probably wouldn't make at home.

Went on Saturaday. Overall, fairly average. Courgette flowers for starters were nice but you only get 2 of them so for ?7.50 it's a little steep. Shared the courgette pasta and Stella pizza (which is actually some sort of calzone). Again, small portion for of the pasta which needed a bit more of a sauce. The pizza was probably the pick of the bunch but didnt seem to have all of the toppings listed on the menu. Service was slow and a bit chaotic. Il Mirto has nothing to fear.

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • 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
