A dark frontage punctuated by full-length windows reveals a spare-looking café-like interior, a narrow room with plain white walls and a large chalkboard menu. Down some steps at the back, there is a chef's table for eight, with views of the open kitchen. This is Italian dining, Peckham-style, and none the worse for it.

The Italian way with carbo-desserts then produces an irresistibly toothsome walnut cake with blood orange and mascarpone. Wines are not exclusively Italian, but those represent the best way of entering into the spirit. They've got some oranged-up Sicilian Catarratto, if Pinot Grigio now seems a little vecchio cappello.
