Food Scene
This is a complete hidden gem and seems to be known only to locals. It's an Italian neighbourhood restaurant but in a cosy modern style. The food is really excellent and the prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend the Pappardelle con salsiccia e porcini - I get that practically every time...
It's usually pretty full on a Friday or Saturday night but it's not difficult to get a reservation. Definitely recommended if you want something tasty in the area and don't want to venture out of SE16!
