Agree with Gimme (although calling Mangia dreadful is a bit harsh as interior and location is reflected in the price you pay), there is still room for an Italian that can 'up the game'.


In particular if the restaurant and/or cafe can offer coffee as good as 'Caff? Vergnano 1882' - next to royal festival hall and cakes as 'Princi' on Wardour Street. Have also not tried the italian on Melbourne Grove but 'Franca Manca' in Brixton is without doubt the benchmark for Pizza in south east London (well for the pizza rather than iterior and opening times).

I don't know if anyone has ever been or knows Finsbury Park, but I used to live up there and there was a fantastic place called Pappagone on Stroud Green Road. Real Italians running the place, Italian families dining, loud and bustly, informal, reasonably priced, not just generic pizza/pasta but great meat and fish dishes too, plus fabulous ice cream. Also were always open, for example for coffee in the mornings. It is always absolutely packed and has a real buzz about it. Can't think of anywhere similar around here.


I don't mind Locale, but think it is really overpriced, especially the wine!

I live near Si Magia but for some reason I just don't fancy it.Likewise Locale doesn't really grab me.


There used to be a fantastic restaurant called Slice on the Northcote Rd. It was cheap. You could choose square slices of quality pizza from the front counter and get a side salad and a bottle of Italian plonk or ice cold Moretti beer, good coffee etc. It was such a good place and always had a buzzy atmosphere. I think something along these lines could work in ED.

i've eaten at locale a couple of times now and have always been a bit disappointed with the food. the pizzas are 'wet' and the meat dishes a bit formulaic. I also think it's pricy for what it is. if it is the sister/brother to locatelli then lets have them instead as the loco in blackheath is great, excellent food and excellent wine.

    • Hello. Did you hear any further on this? Was there anyone at the council who was helpful to speak to? I am in a similar boat. 
    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.

    • Sebastian has been missing for nearly 24 hours. This is very unlike him. He’s chipped so identifiable by a vet. Please don’t feed him if you find him - he’s greedy but has kidney disease so has a special diet
