Signoria in Southwark

Friendly, family run, Italian restaurant and cafe, home made pasta, with a daily menu (swordfish and aubergine pasta today). Super deserts and pastries, Excellent value. Highly recommended.

Staff are always friendly. Run by Italians. A sweet snack, a sandwich, a bowl of pasta or a main. All good. Also sell some Italian food - orecchiette pasta we couldn’t find elsewhere, panettone at the right time of year. Chinotto and good coffee.

Went in for lunch on the off chance as had walked passed the trendy hipster diners further up the road. Didn’t feel like sitting by a heavily polluted road with busy traffic and irate drivers using colourful, local vernacular to express themselves. Signoria’s garden felt like a calm oasis away from it all. It was reminiscent of a family run restaurant you would find on holiday. My mozzarella, tomato and avocado with a delicious rich balsamic was delicious. My companions focaccia sandwich and salad was equally good. The family who run it are friendly and couldn’t do enough. If in the area we will return.

True authentic Italian restaurant/cafe , fantastic food, the best we have tasted for quite a long while An extremely nice and welcoming Italian family, they really went out of their way to make our experience the best.

It was my husbands second birthday in Lockdown. Having a meal out wasn’t an option. We’ve eaten at Signoria in the evenings and bought a few things from them in Lockdown so I asked if they were doing meals. They don’t do evenings but were happy to prepare what I chose for me to collect the day before. They were prepared to do things not on the menu if they had the ingredients but this wasn’t necessary. We were so full after starters and mains that tiramisu was left to the next day. Burrata was served on bread and salad topped with cooked slices of pepper. The arincina reheated better than expected. Parmigiana Melanzane was a generous portion. The tiramisu was a bit sweet for us but neither of us has a sweet tooth and that’s often the case. They will be reopening their garden on 12 April if easing allows.

We arrived here for drinks after we saw Help Out To Eat Out in the window. Upon receiving the bill without the government discount we were flatly told we had to have food for it to qualify. Having seen various BBC and Government websites this isn’t actually true. Disappointing experience.

Proper little family Italian cafe/restaurant, really authentic, amazing food quality and friendly service. I will be going back again soon and often.

This place does really nice fresh food. They do one of the best veggie breakfast in the area with all fresh ingredients. Been coming here for years.

A fabulous family run local Italian business in East Dulwich, just love coming here, owners are so accommodating. Food is superb, so fresh, and the menu changes regularly. Weekend evenings you can have a candle lit dinner with a great wine selection. Not forgetting the great deserts and cake selections to top it all off. 5 stars *****

Our new favourite local dinner spot. Lovely ambiance, great service, and delicious meat & pasta dishes. Highly recommend and looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu!

The pasta dishes that I've had here are absolutely delicious (and big portions!) and the tiramisu unrivalled. It is a small place with friendly and accommodating staff. Would recommend going for dinner on an evening that they are open late (friday/saturday), same great food but a more formal setting, tends to be quiet but with a lovely cosy vibe.

Mauricio, Dario and Emanuela are the heart and soul of this place. They are always warm and welcoming to me even when it’s busy. The food is tasty and genuinely Italian. I often get food cooked off the menu too, as I eat lunch here most days and Mauricio suggests other options. Can’t recommend this place more. Always a good vibe here. 💕

I’ve visited this cafe several times with my children and I personally know Dario, Manuela and Maurizio and I’ve never encounter such problems like the ones that they’ve described below, the service has always been spectacular. I sat next to these ladies and I even also ordered a smoothie and it was great, so I don’t know what their ruckus was about to be honest. They were making a scene as if they were reenacting Shakespeare lol 🤪

Recently discovered this cracking little restaurant on Lordship Lane. The food and service is great. The menu changes regularly and the freshly made pasta is excellent. Great place for a quick lunch or evening meal. Highly recommended

A real hidden gem on Lordship Lane. Delicious pasta, so fresh and tasty - it never disappoints. I have eaten here often for lunch and recently for dinner as a large group for a family birthday. The staff are so friendly and accommodating - nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant - you won’t be disappointed.

Every time I come to this restaurant the pasta never disappoints. Friendly service too. A hidden gem

Very nice little paninoteca in East Dulwich. Breakfasts are freshly cooked, hearty and made with quality stuff. Panini are very good value, and equally customisable. Coffee there, I could drink until I'm climbing the walls; but nothing comes close to the family atmosphere the proprietors...

Spur of the moment lunch here today. I had tagliatelle...my wife had meatballs...both very happy with food quality and prompt service. We had small desert...excellent. Coffees...both very good. We felt it was an authentic Italian meal served pleasantly....and for a very reasonable price. Good. Actually...

Didn’t realise Italian be so bad. I doused my pasta in salt and Parmesan which made it edible but it still tasted like mostly like nothing. Ingredients seemed very cheap too.

A small Italian sandwich place with great aspirations. Specify your own panini from a range of interesting ingredients, and you will not be disappointed by the speedily produced result. The service was fast and friendly, and there was a great double expresso to finish off...

Very good Italian style coffee shop in East Dulwich run by two brothers from Milan. Does good breakfasts and lunches. Recommended

The baby chicken was greasy and over cooked The salad tasteless, the chips dry The pasts dishes had no real flavour friendly staff, may just have been having a bad day. But ideally at these prices should have been better.

We tried this on the basis of the reviews - & we didn't make a mistake. A friendly welcome started a great evening. We had calamari starter (well cooked and gorgeous light batter); Spagetti alla Marinara (yum); Pasta with Pancetta & Broccoli; Panacota; washed down with...

Visited for the first time today and opted for the lighter veggie breakfast and black coffee, all of which was promptly served hot and tasty. The menus is pretty varied with a good range of Italian specials board, all of which are well priced. The...

We were walking around dulwich looking for a place to stop for lunch and we were captivated by the menu and atmosphere of this little bistro. We sat outside and ordered a starter and two main courses; it was all delicious, a little Italian experience....

Great, authentic Italian food. Family run atmosphere was really appreciated. V kind and go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful experience. We will be coming back soon! :)

There's a lot of choice these days for breakfast on the busy Lordship Lane strip in East Dulwich in South London, but the offerings vary enormously in quality, quantity, variety and price. We had breakfast at Signoria on a chilly Sunday in December 2018. The...

We just had a delicious sharing menu at Signoria for my Mum's Birthday. Amazing, varied dishes, with lots of love in every bite! One of my favourites in East Dulwich - great for a relaxed lunch solo-style or with a group. Thanks to Dario and...

I drop in here a lot when I'm in Lordship Lane. Great food at very reasonable prices and really friendly staff. Give it a try if you're passing by.

My husband and I stumbled across the restaurant one Friday evening as until then we had thought it only open during the day as a café. We had a fantastic meal: the grilled sardine starter was amazing and the pasta that followed, equally good. The...

We had an amazing surprise birthday party last night at Signoria - Dario and the team couldn’t have been more helpful and fun and were a real part of making the evening such a success. We had lovely food, a delicious cake, great music and...

Friendly owner with attentive staff in an intimate setting with delicious food. We were made to feel very welcome. Loved the Sicilian capers in the burata starter!

A gorgeous little restaurant in Lordship Lane and Dario (one of three very handsome brothers) tells me Signoria means Lordship! So there you have it. I love my Italian and we all started with the homemade Arancini balls - you are crazy if you don't...

We went to signoria for a dinner with colleagues. Was all perfect! Like a entrees we had prosciutto di Parma, fried squids and melanzane alla Parmigiana, everything delicious, and was the same with main meals. They have a various dessert menu, we liked tiramisu and...

Great food, very tasty and very friendly staff. Really a very good experience. And the espresso in the end didn't disappoint at all. Certainly a place to come back to.

Myself and my colleagues had a super yummy Italien feast here! It was recommended by a friend and definitely didn't disappoint. The food was so good, would highly recommend the calamari, and the staff were so attentive! Will 100% be back, thanks guys!

Lovely little coffeeshop by day and restaurant in the evening (although they do cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout). We enjoyed coffees and cakes during lunchtime and sat outside in the sunny courtyard. Will be coming back again soon.

We stumbled across this little place and were very pleasantly surprised. The service was super friendly and sandwiches were fantastic with homemade cakes for dessert, yummy! We’ll need to come back to try the pasta!

We’ve been here twice now. Having enjoyed the pasta at lunchtime we decided if the food was as good in the evening this was worth checking out and it’s a welcome addition for us. The main menu has starters, half a dozen pastas, 3 meat...

Popped in for a chilled Saturday night dinner. Great menu, reasonably priced and delicious food with friendly staff. Will definitely go back!

A friend and I stumbled upon this little gem at the weekend. We both went for the king prawn and asparagus pasta - it tasted great and very fresh. The waiter kindly made us some garlic bread as a custom extra and our dinner was...

First real day to relax in ages and we head down Lordship Lane to browse. I had been in Signoria for coffee recently and seen they were now launching as a full restaurant (limited days still, though.) We came for lunch. Ambience: we went pavement...

This authentic italian restaurant brings me back from where I visited Rome. I always enjoy every food they offer here. The staff are very friendly and somehow gone to know us because we always eat here. A must try is their waffles with maple syrup...

I walk past this establishment every day and noticed that they were trying a dinner service at the weekends. As a birthday was coming up we decided to give it a go. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Delicious food, large portions, very attentive service, good value -...

I had been during the day and found out they had just started opening in the evening so my husband and I thought we would try it out. It was DELICIOUS. You can really tell the care and attention that goes into thinking about the...

We have been on a few occasion now. We know them as an exceptional daytime destination but now they have been transformed into an Italian Trattoria in the evening. We first went to Signoria in the evening shortly after a recent city break to Napoli...

How fortunate we were to come upon Signoria open in the evening, (normally a cafe or lunch) walking back from Peckham Cinema with no plans. We have lived in the area for 20 years and this is the best Italian food we have had. Delicious...

My mum and I went here for our Mother's day meal together. Italian is my favourite food, and this is probably the best Italian I have had for a while. All the pasta is freshly made and the menu is not too busy. The starters...

Fantastic, authentic Italian food. Great service. Very friendly & welcoming. Delighted it’s now open in the evening. Wonderful addition to Lordship Lane.

You would think an Italian ran and owned restaurant wouldn’t serve scalding hot coffee and a burnt florentine what a disappointment , that’s why I stick to the chains in the U.K. which is a shame

For a Saturday lunch Signoria was a delight - authentic Italian food served nicely, tasted great, and reasonably priced.

I’m a London Cab Driver and this is the best Italian food I’ve eaten in a long while. Superb home cooked dishes made and served by an all Italian staff. Grazie, Signoria!

I have eaten here 4 times now and the brothers and their staff are fantastic hosts. The most authentic italian dishes cooked to your requirements. They will try to accommodate anything that you may care to order all be it on the menu or not....

Friendly and efficient owner/manager who came over straight away and brought drinks first (caffeine fix!) then breakfast. Reasonably priced for this are for brunch too. Pastries and Italian cakes looked lovely although I didn't try them this time

Well, what can I say, except that this is definitely and by far my favourite Italian restaurant. Most certainly in the South East of London, perhaps even throughout the city..? I know, that's a big statement but it is also heart-felt. I have lived in...

I visited the place for a quick bite and enjoyed a very nice bruschetta. Italian stuff, Italian staff, what not yo enjoy?
