A buzzy, rustic neighborhood spot bringing the Amalfi Coast to Clapham with moody lighting, loud music, and outstanding house-made pastas.
Ordering Strategy
Start with the house-made vermouth and truffle arancini. Focus heavily on the pasta section (the gnocchi and ragu are standouts) and do not skip the affogato for dessert.
What to order
Truffle Arancini
Described as 'small, feisty truffle arancini,' these are a staple starter at this neighborhood joint that are consistently praised for their flavor.
Beef Ragù Tagliatelle
A hearty, 'unfussy, but at the same time fabulous' comfort dish that provides exactly the kind of 'wanton carb action' diners crave.
Malted Barley Affogato
A 'naughty nursery food' dessert made with vodka-laced milk and crunchy malted barley that critics claim wins by miles over other sweets.
Cep Gnocchi with Wild Mushrooms
Outstanding and 'thick, heavenly lumps' that are described as 'gnocchi like no other'—an essential pick for those who want a premium pasta experience.

Good to know
The restaurant replaced 'The Manor' but kept the stripped-back decor; it gets very loud and busy, so booking is essential.
