A minimalist, white-walled neighbourhood trattoria bringing the magic of Peckham's Artusi to Deptford with seasonally changing pastas and a buzzing atmosphere.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is short and changes frequently. Start with the arancini, order a pasta each (they are the main draw), and share a large main if you are a group. The Sunday set menu is excellent value.
What to order
Seasonal Ragu Pasta
Whether it's ox cheek, beef shin, or venison, the slow-cooked meat ragu pastas (often pappardelle) are consistently rated as rich, comforting, and technically perfect.
Whole Sea Bream
A substantial sharing plate often featured on the menu, served with seasonal vegetables like Swiss chard or fennel.
Saffron Arancini
Described as 'spherical tombs revealing hidden treasure', these crunchy, sticky cheese snacks are a standout starter mentioned across multiple reviews.
