 I agree with the OP this is an independent restaurant that deserves support. You’ll need to be quick to visit before their summer holidays. In true Italian style they are on holiday from 29 July to 29 August. 

 

I’m reluctant to put this on here but I can only think people haven’t tried it as it’s not busier. 

 

We went before it changed hands from  500 degrees to Due Fratelli. For us it’s now the best pizza in East Dulwich. There are other things on the menu too. There’s also a “garden” at the back. Outdoor seating away from the road. Pizza and a beer for 2 for £40. Staff are always friendly and happy to add toppings to the pizzas. 

 

Give it a try - it’s not a chain and to those who say East Dulwich has enough places that do pizza I’d say it’s the best of the restaurants, they do take away if that’s what you want though we’ve not seen any delivery drivers doing a collection.

Always happy to support local businesses, we had booked a table for 4 people at Dei Due Fratelli restaurant, Lordship Lane on a Saturday evening. While the food was nice and the staff were initially attentive and accommodating, this soon changed after the arrival of a second group of 10 - most of them visibly intoxicated and extremely loud (in addition to another group of 10 diners already present). The staff switched on their karaoke screen placed directly above our table without any consultation or warning. Due to the level of intoxication among many diners in the second large group, the atmosphere soon felt unsafe, fuelled by the restaurant staff continuing to serve further alcohol to them. Needless to say, this made any conversation impossible and spoiled the enjoyment of our meal and evening out. When approached for a reduction of the final bill, the staff were extremely reluctant but  eventually relented after much persuasion. Take away: The staff seem more concerned with making money from large groups of diners to the detriment of smaller groups, their wellbeing and enjoyment, blatantly ignoring health and safety aspects. We will not return.

Sorry to hear that acycle, it's a small place and big group could easily make it loud for sure.

I've been there 4-5 times in the last year and really like it.  It's a great, better-value alternative to Rocca and Olivelli (I enjoy both of those too).

The owners are proper italian so if you're just back from there on holiday and want to add something that you enjoyed it's not too much trouble for them to assist.

The front of house lady is great with kids, I have no reservations to heartily recommend the food.  We've also had the steak which they did a great job on as they have a proper charcoal grill in the kitchen in addition to the pizza over from it's previous iteration.

Re: the karaoke, I asked them to turn it down once and they did.

Please support folks by giving it a try, don't be shy to give them feedback on the window display or whatever, it would only help them.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
