Sorsi & Morsi Lordship Lane

Recommended Posts

When my mum (82) had a nasty fall in Lordship Lane a little while ago the owner was really nice to her, helped her and made sure she was alright. She later went their for a meal and said it was very good and would go back again, she is not the easiest of people to please so that is praise indeed!

Just back from Lordship Lane where Sorsi & Morsi have been handing out free "tasters" to passers-by, from outside the restaurant. I had my doubts when Indian Mischief went down and what looked like just another pizza & pasta joint appeared, but they seem to really know what they're doing.


A range of pizzas were on offer and from among them we tried the mozzarella and caramelised onion offering - it was brilliant! The dough was excellent and the accompanying cherry tomatoes and fresh basil (from a basil plant of course) were lovely. At one point the chef came out and demonstrated the art of "throwing" pizza dough, much to everyone's delight!


It seems like a great addition to Lordship Lane and I think they really deserve to succeed.

Also had a free taster of the pizza today which was excellent ... and consequently went to dinner tonight. I agree with above comments - the food is excellent and authentic and we very much enjoyed it. The outside bit was full / fully booked, so had to sit inside. The outside looks lovely but I do feel the decor inside needs some work if this restaurant is to be successful long-term. It rather lacks atmosphere. Some easy wins are probably add table clothes, lay cutlery on tables, salt and pepper on tables and remove fluorescent lighting panel at back. Would really benefit from having the tables chairs removed with new more comfortable chairs.


Anyway, definitely recommend going for the food and will be going back.

Went today. It is pleasant enough - nice outside seating area at the back, but food was nothing special I'm afraid. Bruschetta with tomatoes, garlic and basil was a bit disappointing, not least cos there was no basil - there was some micro herb/cress but it certainly was not basil - doubly disappointing when I passed a pot of basil as a table decoration just inside the restaurant on leaving. This is a prime spot and ED needs a good Italian - let's hope they make the most of their opportunity.

Thought the pizza was... Pretty good. More il mirto than si mangia. If it wasn't best ever it's still more than good in a neighbourhood joint


The outside terrace is, again not amazing, but better than most place in the area


It deserves to do well and people seem to be coming. Good stuff


(That interior needs to go tho. It reeks of past failures and a 1999 aesthetic. Softer please )

  • 1 month later...

Last night for my wedding anniversary I finally went to Sorsi & Morsi (I wanted to go when first opened but was on holiday) and I found both food and service really excellent (pizza with fried aubergines and salted ricotta was delicious and very full filling). I will definitely be back.


At my slight criticism about the lack of comfortable tables and chairs I was reassured that they are working at it and will change the current tables with benches soon as well as enclosing and put heating in the back garden to be used in the winter months too for the customers who wish to do so, and being a smoker I probably will.


I wish the owners and the staff all the best with this venture.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
