This restaurant suffers by being in a dreary parade of shops and restaurants on the way to Addiscombe from East Croydon. It even looks a bit like a seventies trattoria, but go past all that and you will be pleasantly surprised. The welcome is friendly and the staff are attentive without being overbearing. The food is freshly prepared and tasty whether that is pasta, pizza or from the grill. The wine list covers all the Italian bases you need. The prices are reasonable. A little hidden treat.

A local surprise! 23rd October 2007

Considering this is situated in a really unprepossessing row of shops, this is actually a pretty good local trattoria.

The pasta is fabulous, as are the pizzas - sometimes the meat can be a bit overcooked, but nothing too traumatic, and it's all very good value for money.
