The best restaurants serving Italian food in Village Southwark London

I visited Herne Hill to meet a friend for lunch at Peachy Goat, on her recommendation. It has a great location, a few minutes from Herne Hill station, and has seats in front, in the main area inside, and at the back. The menu is plant-based only, which for vegetarians and vegans - and the self-conscious is great. The downside of the menu is that many of the menu choices also include wheat, so gluten sensitive people will have a more limited choice. However, I ordered the polenta and vegetables dish, which was good, and we ordered some well-priced wine. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming and full of smiles and in the late Summer weather, with windows open, we both enjoyed the lunch. I would visit again, but the lack of gluten free options mean that I might return just to hang out with friends with wine and French fries.

I had an excellent very fresh salad nicoise and my companion had a lasagna which looked good and which she enjoyed That was followed by a generous helping of affogato. Pleasant, prompt service and, as requested, we were given a quiet table. The was no pressure to leave as soon as we finished eating (we had a living news to catch up on)
