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.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
