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!

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
