Buongiorno a tutti! I have HOT NEWS. Lorenzo's of Crystal Palace is to open a second branch at 32 Forest Hill Rd, next to the Coop. Just been talking to Mr Lorenzo and his son. They had been reading the posts about SE22 needing a good Italian eatery, and decided to take the plunge. They are aiming for a June 1 opening. Pizza, pasta, sea food and an outside terrace. F Hill Rd has been looking up recently with the new barber's and the revamped beautician's place. Hopefully this will be a welcome arrival. A presto, amici! Nero

Rejoice! I love Lorenzo's in Crystal Palace and a second one on Forest Hill Road is just what East Dulwich needs, a proper family run Italian restaurant. Yee Ha! I am delirously happy about this and can't wait for it to open. And within a short walking distance to home too. Marvellous.

"I never went to 2 Trees. What was it like, apart from awful."


Nero.

How can you say two trees was 'awful' when you say you never went there??

Doesn't really make any sense.

Personally i loved it;

Inexpensive.

Not a chain.

Individual.

Friendly...

... and good food.

Ok the atmosphere was a little 'quiet', but that was ok if you just want an intimate quiet night out, especially when you don't want to be surrounded by people with pushchairs, born again non-smokers, and people who talk with excessive volume about property prices or how much money they've made that day...

(oops almost on to a rant there...)

I can't be alone in missing it?

Nero,

Ahh, well appearances would have been deceptive!

Shame i can't try and convince you to go there now...!

Will have to try MPC though, sounds good.

By the way Karter, can you compare their pizzas to the ones served in The Gowlet? Those are damn fine pizzas...

Karter ol' thing - are you failing to declare an interest here?? ;-) It seems almost 20% of your 100+ posts recommend MPT! Hmmm... landlord, trader and resident on LL?? :))


I'm looking forward to tasting the evening chef. I regularly eat during the day as it has a good value/quality balance (and the sarnies are varied and reasonable quality bread) - but I never found it exceptional, just good straightforward cooking!

    • A Veolia man has just worked his way down my street digging out the weeds. Looking good.  No weed killer in sight.
    • Our lovely 4 bed family house is available to rent for 3 weeks in August. It is newly refurbished. The dates are flexible. We have just listed it on air b and b. It is near North Dulwich station so an easy walk to Dulwich village and Herne Hill. If anyone is interested in taking it for the whole time we can do a deal on the price and if you book it not through air b and b it can be cheaper. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/1451281327309758537?check_in=2025-08-08&check_out=2025-08-15&search_mode=regular_search&source_impression_id=p3_1750936175_P3KnShX5BZbLc4Of&previous_page_section_name=1000&federated_search_id=a8509fed-1030-4cce-a3e8-57cadd5a1693

    • Hello, I'm from Ireland and would love my children to be able to know the language - I can speak it but I'm not so good at teaching it. If there's anyone local who used to teach Irish at primary school (preferably Connemara Irish) and who'd like to tutor 3 boys aged 7-10 for an hour or two a week please do let me know. Thanks, Sarah
