Decent Italian arrives in the Lane


Recommended Posts

I had a look at the menu, and the "carne" section (veal medallions in cream & mushroom sauce, steak and chips, chicken in tomato sauce, etc) seemed totally uninspiring - outdated even. And a restaurant selling ?12 pizzas seems redundant when Franco Manca do excellent pizzas for under ?7.


I know I shouldn't criticise a place without eating there, but come on... use some imagination. Cook something I've not eaten a hundred times before.

Strange but having walked passed last night, their second night they were VERY busy...


... whilst for the first time since they opened. Franco Manca had lots of free tables and no one queuing.

    • WoW Sue, all guns blazing. 
    • So you don't feel safe in London, but you don't want to live elsewhere? What do you do, barricade yourself in your home and never venture out? I have my eyes (sic)  open. Yes there is crime in London. That doesn't make London "lawless".
    • Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality. 
    • Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold, or in hopes of insurance money), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.
