Experience the rustic allure of Brutto, a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of London. With weathered wooden tables and the inviting aroma of handmade pasta, Brutto encapsulates the essence of a local Italian trattoria.

From classic lasagna to innovative reinterpretations, E Pellicci seamlessly weaves the old with the new, offering a dining experience that transcends time. Immerse yourself in the richness of Italian flavours amidst the historic backdrop of Bethnal Green. They serve up a mean full english too, not to be missed.

3. Forza Wine: A Symphony of Italian Wine and Cuisine in Peckham

Forza Wine, nestled on a rooftop in Peckham, is our go to summer destination, but in the winter, the candlelit bar is the place to be. Explore a curated selection of Italian wines served up by really passionate staff. From crisp antipasti to bold main courses, Forza Wine invites you to savour the perfect pairing of exceptional wines and delectable Italian small plates.
