Went there last weekend – loved it. Hope they stick around for a while (and whatever they do don't start a chain!!!)

It reminded me of one of those cheap shops that sell everything. I got the impression it's not the type of place to put the official curtain shop out of business.
May have to pop into it one day if I remember

Yeah it's a 'sell it all, sell it cheap' type thing. I like the fact that we have an 'official' curtain shop - and any other shop selling curtains is deemed unofficial.
Rogers has the Mini_the_Minx seal of approval:

My bad – I went to Rogers not Linens. (Just saw the picture and got all confused
)The curtains (from Rogers) are lovely, great quality. Wonder when they will fix the letter M though…

imo.. Ililli is much better than Beyrouth and Adomme is next to that Porky's strip club place
What's better, Adomme or the other new Italian place, BR?

Well Bravi Ragazzi is just pizza whereas Adomme does lots of other dishes - pasta etc. So they're not entirely comparable. Also I've only done takeaway from BR whereas we ate in at Adomme because we wanted to have pasta for the kids and were certain they have high chairs for the baby. (they might do at BR, I don't know?) I suppose you could compare the pizzas. I actually had pasta when I went to Adomme but I did try some of gb's pizza which was lush. I suppose I'd have to do some kind of pizza taste test... what a lovely thought!
I'm not a huge pizza fan so prefer the pasta option. The small boy will only eat pizza out though as pasta has to come with his preferred brand of pesto, none of that authentic muck they serve in restaurants.

I think it's closed and I imagine it was a strip club - just from the way it looks.
eta.. hang on - much maligned (I've only seen it in passing). Not a strip club and possibly not even closed down..

It's been there years and years. Was up and running when we lived near the station in the early 2000s. Never went in mind. It always looked a bit intimidating cos of the dark windows. Always v busy on weekend evenings back then with lots of very dressed up types going in there.

Well yes, I've seen it there for years but have never seen it open because I've only passed in the daytime.. I never looked closely at all tbh at what it is.. it's just the name...

The only occasion when attending a Lambeth Licensing committee has been anything like entertaining was when the proprietor of Porky's was present asking for an extension of hours, or some such, and realised that one of the councillors present was his former schoolteacher. He regressed twenty years into a fumbling teenager.

New trendy looking cafe on The High Parade, near Kwik Fit*. Name a secret. Two doors from new fancy looking gift shop.
Bocca Italian, which I thought was best pizza until Bravi Rigazzi opened has new name and new owner. Hopefully pizza's at least as good.
Mint and Nineteen at risk of losing licences.
* This may not be how they describe their location.

poppin' like a cork
We went to Bocca Italian (or what ever it's called now) just after the 'under new management' thingy. Mainly because my other half had just been to Addomme and wanted to try Bocca, and it's closer to the cinema. I couldn't argue her out of it. It was ok. We didn't have the pizza though.
To be honest now that I've been to Addomme I can't see myself eating at Bocca ever again* **. Much in the same way that if you've eaten at Tayyabs or Lahore Kebab House you're not going to have a curry on Brick Lane.
*obviously if Addomme suddenly becomes rubbish I may well change my mind whilst weeping at the memories of such things as sour dough balls made with fresh rocket and basil, and stews with beef so tender that it almost melts in the mouth.
** we've not actually had the pizza from there, so may need to *ahem* taste test it to see how it compares against Bravi and Addomme.

Bocca appears to have reverted to the pre 2008 name of "Little Italy" - not been in so not sure if former management have returned.

Word is that it is the original owners.
