The best restaurants serving Italian food in Perry Vale Lewisham London

The restaurant had only one other customer dining in during our visit. Our starter (calamari) arrived reasonably quickly, rubbery with some small limp salad garnish and a not very pleasant dipping sauce. There followed a 45 to 50 minute wait, while we sat and watched a couple of Uber eats/Just eat bikers came in and collected food for delivery. It was apparent that the business prioritised these orders over preparing ours. Eventually fed up and hungry and having had no apology or explanation for the delay we said we were leaving. Just as we were heading for the door our food left the kitchen. The 2 staff (on a Saturday night) both apologised (too late) and we were offered a discount and no service charge. This was the least they could do as we’d received almost no service. The pizza and pasta were both adequate but nothing special and I’d advise anyone looking for Italian food to go to the excellent Piazza Della Cucina which is only a few doors down. This was a bit of a celebration dinner for us and I was extremely disappointed, but you only discover these things by trying a place out. We won’t be back

Absolutely love this place. The food was amazing and they have a really nice beer garden. Perfect for summer. Service was amazing. Thank you!
