Just wondered.... Shared an ice cream with my child at Stefanos Deli in Dulwich Village after a trip to the park earlier and now feel rather sick.

My toddler has complained of a tummy ache too!

I did notice that the ice-cream looked like it had melted a bit and re-formed.

Shouldn't have ordered it I guess but i had promised my toddler we'd share an ice-cream and wanted to avoid a melt-down (the standard re-action to a broken promise)

Obviously now really regretting it.


But wondered if anyone else has the same problem... Perhaps I am wrong and it was something else I ate anyway..?

Hummm seems suspicious - interested to see if anyone else has same problem.

I have not been impressed with their cleanliness.... Seen their toilets? Horrid.

I don't go there now - the ice-cream is really expensive - ?2.30 for a single scoop and their customer service is the worst I have seen in the Village. Stefano is really moody about giving out tasters (even when he has run out of all the usual flavors like strawberry and vanilla).

Seriously with ice-cream at this price I don't think it is too much to ask for more than one taste test for a young child. Plus some politeness and a smile might be nice too.

Penuts - I hope you are your chid weren't too sick. How are you today?


It is such a shame - I used to quite like Stefano's - there was a really lovely waiter employed there who always made my little one laugh with his jokes. Sadly he has left now and the place isn't the same at all. Even thought the ice-cream was expensive and not the best in the world, I went anyway because I liked this one particular waiter so much.


I used to hear Stefano being quite rude to my lovely waiter (and I believe that I why he left) - really Stefano is rather unpleasant. I am not surprised to hear of your experience Blue Orchid. The ice-cream is not good quality at Stefano's which is probably why he doesn't like to give out tasters. (Oddono's on Lordship Lane is AMAZING!!!) and the prices Stefano charges are outrageous for such a poor quality product.


Anyway - there are a few nice places in Dulwich Village - the cafe AuCiel around the corner is sweet - and Gails is very good quality. Romeo Jones and Gails have the best coffee. Rocca is lovely to sit in with great staff.


Therefore I don't see the point of Stefano's now (they have lost their one lovely member of staff). It would be better if the sad little Deli closed and something decent opened up instead.


Let us know who you are though Penuts - I hope you are ok.

good afternoon,


I am the owner of stefano's deli. I am sorry that few customers feel this way and will try to do our best to make the experience better. we love all our customers and we do enjoy being in the village.


the score.... the council has been in and we are waiting for the sticker to come to our premises,

the ice-cream.... we buy off an Italian supplier called la rustica and the ice-cream are imported from Italy. we do like rhe quality of the icecream. we also keep track of the temperature of the fridge and we have not had any problems since the start of the season also because the fridge is quite new( bought in march 2015)

tasters..... we offer a taste to every child that comes to the fridge counter but not more than one. at 3 it is a busy time and we try to make everybody happy.

the toilet is not more in use as we are starting some building refurbishment in September.


I hope i covered all the points in the chat bur if you have anymore do not hesitate to come to the shop and talk to me. I will be more than happy to hear about your experiences in stefano's deli

      Dehumidifier to borrow

      By bidvid · Posted

      Hello,  I feel as though our apartment is damp. I would like to borrow a dehumidifier to ascertain whether it is or not. Does anyone have a dehumidifier that I could borrow for a week?  thank you,    Brigid

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!

      These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
