La Gastronomia in Southwark

This Italian deli and cafe is great! Possibly the best hot chocolate I've ever had and customer service is always point. Lovely atmosphere!

The most delicious salad and GF cake! Excellent service from all the staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely coffee and good wholesome Italian food! Amazing delicatessen with everything Italian. Good selection of takeaway food!

Very nice Deli makes Fresh Coffee and Food / Sandwich s can be busy lunch time very popular, has lots of other Italian food like Panetonne , biscuits, chocolate,mortatella etc ,friendly staff

Really friendly staff, many italian sweets, loads of types of pasta, seasoning, meat, cheese. The sandwich I got was delicious. I will definitely go back in there when I am in Dulwich.

Unreal panini's and service. Even stayed open a little extra as I was on a work call in there and they didn't want to disturb. Superb local spot that deserves it's popularity.

The best of the very best when it comes to delis , The toasties are amazing so much to choose from and always served with a smile love this place can’t get enough.

Brilliant service and atmosphere

Sat at table which hadn’t been cleared with tea cups and lots of croissant crumbs. When our drinks were served I asked the waiter to clear them and to please wipe the table. She said ‘of course’ and took the cups but didn’t come back to wipe the table so I had to go and find her. Her response when I asked her again to please wipe the table was ‘oh I thought you asked me to just take the cups’ and said it agin when she came to wipe the table. Since when do customers have to ask waiters to wipe down dirty tables? Surely it’s obvious that all tables need to be wiped as they are cleared especially if there are crumbs, never mind basic hygiene? She wiped the table beautifully and then proceeded to wipe all the crumbs onto the patio floor announcing that we now had a nice clean table to sit at. Training is needed on the basics - tables are wipe properly after clearing as a matter of course and customers should not have to ask. Crumbs are never swept onto the floor - outside or inside, and when you are asked to wipe a table, the immediate response should be an apology not a justification as to why it wasn’t done.

Excellent, freshly cooked Sicilian food and amazing wine provided by Sergio. Top service staff and an authentic experience. Highly recommended for foodies!

Great authentic Italian snacks and treats. Personally love the various Panini's. Lots of choice, friendly staff and even a cute small outdoor eating space.

Friendly Italian Deli in Dulwich. Freshly made sandwiches. Open early and great for that quick coffee and snack before work

Extremely good shop in Dulwich. Amazing array of wonderful Italian produce. Make fantastic fresh sandwiches and coffee. Great place to visit and wonderful service l.

What a beautiful spot! I went in for a mocha. One sip and I had it in my top 5 ever. Finished the cup and I had it in top 3. Went up to pay the friendly lads and it is now the best mocha I've ever had. Wish I lived nearby to buy some of the great selection of Italian ingredients.

Amazing staff. The food is lovely and authentic.

The best toasted focaccias I’ve ever had!! Can particularly recommend the one with prosciutto, sun dried tomato and pesto, with olive focaccia 🙌🏻 Friendly staff, definitely worth checking out for lunch.

This place is a gem. Food is amazing staff fabulous . This is definitely a place to try for great food and coffee . I’ve been going for the last 15 years . Great place to meet friends enjoy a glass of wine and the most amazing selection of sandwiches cakes salads and beautiful cheeses . True Italian feel and the owner Ivano is such a joy whenever u visit .

Lovely coffee, great toasted focaccias. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Huge selection of Italian delicacies 😋

Best paninis in Lnd. Also, the ppl working there are so nice! Gets busy during lunchtime but you still get served quite quickly.

Excellent paninis, excellent coffee with friendly service at fair prices.

Best Italian Deli I’ve ever come across! Amazing staff and amazing food too! My favourite place to go :)

Massive thanks, I got my pistachios, I can't thank you enough. Lovely lil delicatessen, amazing service, and beautiful people. 😍

We recently moved to this area from Central London and we are so pleased to find this gem nearby. We like the shop, authentic Italian products to buy (ie the excellent guanciale), as well as the lovely customer service.

Best deli in london, every time I order there it never disappoints, amazing coffee and lovely staff.

First time in this charming little place. Just needed 2 drinks to take away . They have a quiet little place at the back to sit but didnt have time. Whilst there are a few things that are not for me they sell a bit of everything from crossiants and small cakes to sandwhiches made to order. I m not sure how they fair with vegan alternatives so best to check with them. If you're into your football they may have the match on tv. Whenever I may pass through the area I ll grab something form there

Absolutely amazing panini’s with the best cheeses and cured meats. I’ve come here many times for their lovely paninis but also to buy ingredients for my own cooking like njuda, burrata and various pieces . La Gastronomia is a great place to live nearby. Staff are also super friendly .

Thus is one of my favourite places. Coffe excellent, food excellent, customer service excellent. Owner and staff are amazing. Their deli counter is Full of delightful things. Really worth a visit

Wonderful authentic arancini and Italian ingredients. Fantastic

Delicious panini, arancini and a great cheese counter. The owner is friendly and staff are great. Gets busy at lunchtime for takeaways, but can also sit in back garden

Quality sandwiches. Lovely people!

It's a ray of sun in South London! I love going there, the staff is always friendly and with a smile. Real Italian fantastic food, tasty and well presented!!! Beautiful cozy and relaxing garden with a real vine hanging from the ceiling 😍

Perfect place and People who works there Viva Italia

Great panini's and my go to place for authentic Italian ingredients. The owner is an absolute gent and the staff all very friendly. Dark horse for the best coffee I have had in London!

I have been a regular customer for a few years.. Not cheap but a very good range of good quality Italian foods and ingredients. Knowledgeable staff is a big bonus.

I was in La Gastronomia on 14 March and somehow I lost 2 gold rings, of some great sentimental value. Imagine my delight when I had a phone call today, one of the lovely guys there had found my rings out in the garden area. I am so grateful, please support this wonderful deli/cafe - coffee and food are 5 star too. Thank you

Absolutely awesome, well worth it. There panini's are at the next level great coffee as well.

My brother has been raving about the paninis for years and I really enjoyed mine! They have a wide range of combinations available or the workers are extremely accommodating to other combinations as well.

Very nice Italian food wines and more

Beautiful food, beautiful presentation, beautiful staff

A well stocked Deli, lots of mouth watering options. The toasted panini fillings are great!

Discovered it today. Lovely shop,so much variety . Great service & nice little place at the back to have a drink & something to eat.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Friendly service and would recommend.

An authentic bit of Italy in West Dulwich. Perfetto.

I’ve been visiting la gastronomia for many years & have always found it to be pleasant, however, today, with the covid infections rising so quickly again, I was concerned that the waiter & waitress who served us were wearing their masks under their chins. I spoke to the manager, who was nothing short of rude, he said it was too hot to wear the masks all day. I tried to speak but he wouldn’t listen, just repeated it was too hot to wear masks. It’s probably a lot more uncomfortable in an ICU bed being given oxygen to help you breathe! Shows complete lack of concern, respect or care for his customers. Voting with my feet, I won’t be going back.

A little gem of a local deli. Great pre made sandwiches and paninis or made to order. Fantastic ingredients.

Friendly and efficient family run with delicious assortment of Italian deli goodies, freshly made sandwiches and more

Love this place- all the guys there are soo sexy. I don’t even like panini but id pay anything for their salami 🍗

Great hot sandwiches and amazing selection of Italian sweets and produce!!!

The best turkey, brie and cranberry panini I've had in a long time

Panino meno grande di una mano pagato 5 sterline, fesa di tacchino a prezzi proibitivi e quando ho chiesto se avevano pasta del tipo "anelletti", non sapevano neanche che esistessero. Peccato tutto questo, ma potrebbero migliorare

Such a friendly place, rammed chock full of goodies.

Staff are lovely, food is amazing

It's got the most lovely vine laden outside sitting area and all the nice food and drink you could want

We ordered a couple of salads and then sat outside in the seating area. We waited over forty minutes for our order to arrive. We asked when would our food arrive and they had forgotten our order so we left as had an appointment to go to.

Love this place. Friendly staff and delicious products.

Wonderful deli in West Dulwich. Fantastic antipasti counter with cheeses and cured meats. Great sandwich and salad selection for lunch as well - the salt beef sandwich is amazing!

Great little spot I discovered on a lunch break. Friendly staff, great selection, authentic for, and a great outside seating area

Better than the more famous Soho delis. All the stuff you'd expect: Cheeses, meats, flours, olives, wine, sausages. Pastries and sandwiches. Coffee. Take a credit card with a good limit on it because you'll want to buy a lot. Have some sfogliatelle.

Delicious fresh food and great coffee. Lovely staff. Safe socially distanced queueing system.

Sandwich number 8 is my favourite!

Love this place. Staff is super nice and friendly. Feels nice and safe with covid19 guidelines too. Amazing fresh food, great choice of yummy Italian and Sicilian range of products. A must visit in West Dulwich 🤗

Great to see you back open! Just had a delicious chicken escalope panini and got tons of cheese. Yum!

Great place with everything Italian you need

The best place to work for!! food always amazing and lovely staff! Ivano is a lovely man xoxo

Lovely Italian deli serving made to order paninis and sandwiches. Great selection of olive oils, biscuits, chocolates, wines and all things Italian. Small eat in area out the back. Also serves great coffee

Expensive but food is lovely and great customer service

We visited for coffee and nibbles. There was a warm Italian welcome (my wife is Italian), with proper coffee and well made food. Absolutely worth a visit.

They never disappoint me. Their olives are the best outside Italy 👍

Very cosy and comfortable place with great choices of snacks and light lunch.

Amazing shop and cafe. Sandwiches are the best!

Awful experience. Went there to have a Sandwhich and than spoke to a man and wanted to see if I can help them out with (work related as I work with over 500 places). He asked me what I wanted in a rude way as well as when trying to say the first word out, he told me the exact words "Piss off". I respect the fact that it was his place and walked out and went to meet my friends somewhere else as he made me feel very uncomfortable. The review is normally about food and I believe in order to sell it, you should have someone nice to do that rather than someone extremely horrible. Foodblogger: Instagram - London_food_hero

Best paninis in town. Staff are very welcoming

Like visiting family & the foods great :)

Italian delicatessen. Fresh products. Nice selection of panini.

Lovely place to stop for some tapas and drinks. went in the day and it was quiet and attentive service. Tapas was lovely!

Love this place food is outstanding never been disappointed and great coffee . Been going there for years and love it.owner is so lovely and staff very friendly and they really look after you . Everything about this place is perfect .

Lovely back garden, amazing food. Been a client dor 6 years absolutely love all prodyxta and food.

Beautiful taste of Italy in West Dulwich and a treasure trove of delicacies. Serves a great espresso. Support local independent stores!

Lovely coffee and really friendly atmosphere 👍

Excellent Italian deli with wide range of traditional meats and cheeses.

Fantastic local Italian delicatessen; good coffees, bread, charcuterie, olives, a wide range of Italian products. And lovely staff as well. I'd recommend it!

Delicious paninis and lovely little open area to eat in.

Very nice people. nice coffee and cakes and amazing meats and cheeses cut nice and thin. Ideal from lunch to dinner parties.

Not a bad little Italian deli and Café. Deli better than Café in the main. Sandwiches for Café better than average, Coffeé needs to improve though. Friendly staff and owner.

If you want hand made, to your specification, right in front of you. With fresh ingredients, look no further. Have eaten here uncountable times and have never had a bad experience

Friendly..service and food very good..bistro feel to it..

La Gastronomia has been in W. Dulwich for so long that I have moved 3 times, but always visit - or detour especially sometime - on my travels to have at least an coffee. In the shop: fantastic Italian ingredients all around you; shelves filled high with classy pastas, vinos, oils, vinegars, biscotti...everything! First class deli counter, with knowledge behind the counter to give you some guidance if needed. More recently the toasted ciabatta selection is about the best brunch snack I know. They make great effort at Christmas and Easter with food decor. Area out the back is tables for coffee and eating in, and discover their little outside area on warmer days - almost invisible from the shop. Nice people, lovely shop, great produce! ....good espresso served - naturally - belissimo!

Lovely people.Great coffee and food

This is saying everything thank you for fantastic gift service Mary Christmas to whole crew 😊

Coffeé okay, not brilliant. Why is it that Italian Coffeé shops come delis can make decent coffins? Deli part better than most, good food.Sandwichs made to order not standing in the windows sll dsy curling under the heat.

At almost a tenner for a goats cheese and pepper salad i expect to get some goats cheese and peppers in my salad. I come here a lot and the girls are great but try not to get either of the guys. When I asked for a bit more I got a huffy reply. I will not be returning.

Now this is the very definition of what a great deli should be. I used to come here from when i was a teen and Ivano was young. Now I'm hitting 40 and Ivano...still looks young. I guess the secret to longer life is a Mediterranean diet. Anyway their food is fab and this is my go to place for cheese. Oh and by the way thanks Ivano for extending me a line of credit wheni was a teen and didn't have enough money for my sandwiches!

A real taste of Italy, superb deli, cheese counter is to die for. Ciabatta toasted sandwiches are so good. This deli is a cut above the rest in the area.

I live close by, and have eaten there on a few occasions, use mainly for the wonderful deli counter, excellent selection of Italian food, try the Tuscan sausage to cook at home, best Parmesan cheese, always service with a smile and nothing appears to be to much trouble.

Great variety of produce. Good coffee too with the added bonus of a conservatory at the rear

Quality produce and reasonably priced 👌🏻 always had good service and excellent food

I love this place. I will sum it up very simply - the best paninis I've tasted in years. If you're in the mood for a snack & want to be in a place that clearly cares about its food, then you will be well-advised to pop in here.

Good Italian deli, a bit expensive

Best espresso in London. Period.

Looking for a savoury tart. I thought an Italian deli would be a good bet. Lots of traditional Italian goods as one would expect. Looks all traditional. Lovely. But I was after a savoury tart . I asked for the same. "We've got samosas". That's a London Italian deli for you.
