Authentic Sicilian soul food served in a rustic, intimate setting that brings the warmth of Palermo to a Brixton shipping container.
Ordering Strategy
Go with a partner or small group to tackle the Schiticchio sharing board first, then split the squid ink pasta and at least one other main. Do not leave without the doughnuts.
What to order
Tagliatelle Nero di Seppia
Praised as a 'perfectly al dente' and 'creamy bowl of the sea' with generous portions of calamari that hit the right notes for seafood lovers.
Schiticchio Platter
Called the 'wise choice' for a group, this sharing board offers a comprehensive taste of Palermo with sfincione, caponata, panelle, and fried aubergine balls.
Arancina
A 'must-order' that differs from typical London versions; it is proportioned like a Scotch egg and filled with a rich beef ragu, described as an 'epic bolognese ball.'
Sfingette
Mini Sicilian doughnuts with sweetened sheep's ricotta and chocolate chips; critics insist you should not share these as they are the ultimate reason to save room for dessert.

Good to know
Originally located in a shipping container in Pop Brixton, the vibe is snug and casual. Excellent Sicilian wine list (try the Nero di Lupo).
