We had a spontaneous celebratory Sunday dinner and tried out Bonnane for the first time. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back. Only thing was the music was sometimes a bit too much of a dance pop vibe for a Sunday evening. The arancini didn’t taste super fresh as they were a bit too crunchy and not creamy. The pizza was very nice! All in all a comfortable place and the staff were so attentive and kind!

A quiet, beautifully hidden space in the heart of Peckham. The menu is minimal and well-executed, and Francesco was a brilliant host. Furthermore, the tiramisu is the best I’ve had in London. We will definitely be coming back:)
