A reliable menu of Apulian classics, a rustic and relaxed dining room and an alfresco set-up that feels continental on Fulham Road.
Before the restaurant there was the Deli. In 2009 the D'Aversa brothers opened La Pizzica Deli at 837 Fulham Road, a few doors down the road: an Italian delicatessen, bakery and café with southern Italian groceries, cheeses and cured meats, handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza.
The same family, the same ingredients from Puglia, and a place to take a piece of Salento home.
La Pizzica is only about 14 minutes on foot from Craven Cottage: the perfect spot for a meal before or after the match.
