A lively ambience and good food make for an authentic Italian experience at Café Amisha in Grange Road in Bermondsey. Spacious interiors and stylish décor with a mixed seating arrangement, leather chairs and wooden benches, welcome diners who can choose from an array of antipasti, pizzas, pasta and desserts.

A sample meal at Café Amisha could start with antipasti misto, a platter of Parma ham, northern Italian smoked mountain ham, salami, cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, olives and Italian bread. This could be followed by Amisha piccante pizza, tomato, mozzarella, spicy salami, roasted red peppers and fresh green chillies. Alternatively try linguine alle vongole, linguine pasta with clams in white wine and finished with parsley, chilli and garlic. The pollo principessa, chicken breast filled with buffalo mozzarella wrapped with Parma ham and served with roasted potatoes in creamy tarragon and port sauce is a welcome option too. A choice of tortino fondente al cioccolato for dessert will end the meal with a flourish. A range of cocktails heightens the experience along with champagne, white, rose and red wines.
