 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.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
