Best Italian Restaurants in East Dulwich

Really lovely people working at La Nonna! Super helpful and friendly which is always a bonus. I adored the ravioli alla zucca mantovava and my friend enjoyed her carbonara although said it was a little bit too saucy. My only criticism of the ravioli dish is that it says it comes with burnt sage butter, however, the butter is very clearly neither browned nor burnt. Seems a bit pointless to say this on the menu if it isn’t actually browned in any way. It still tasted great though and I’m glad the leek wasn’t overpowering. The balsamic vinegar provided for dipping your focaccia was absolutely stunning, some of the best I’ve ever had but I felt that the focaccia itself was almost like a supermarket bloomer (sorry!), however, my friend loved it. So it just goes to show, we all like different things and that is ok! Anyway, we will definitely return to try more of the menu.

Excellent food and exceptional service. A fantastic restaurant.

Great experience as always. Pizza is always on point, service is friendly and reliable. Didn’t get a chance to venture into the new bar but will be back soon to have a look!

Oustanding. And special thanks to Alessandro, the Sommelier who was execptional. I hope I remembered to tip - if not, I will do so next time.

The food was delicious! Would definitely go back.
