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!

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
