Gusto Italiano 135 Half Moon Lane, London SE24 9JY

"A lovely, inviting and unpretentious cafe and deli with an outdoor space. It is very well organised inside so it has quite a tranquil feel to it despite selling many products. Its really easy to browse for what you need. Each time I have been staff have been really tranquil and friendly. Its almost like visiting a little bit of Italy and inside feels very far away from Herne Hill. I wouldn't imagine it would be easy to get a buggy in here but I would say that the cafe would be enjoyed by children and adults. A buggy could be folded ig needed. There is a large selection of milkshakes and pastries. There is authentic foccacia which is a real treat. The hot chocolate I had here was absolutely delicious. The whole shop smells delicious really! I'll definitely be back just before a school pick up and judging by the amount of customers visiting both times I went so will others."

"This family run restaurant is wonderful. They give all their passion and energy to make it a great experience for their customers. The owners work there daily and care greatly about the standard of everything. I love them!"

"Don't get the breakfast! The beans are raw straight from the can the mushrooms aren't cooked the bread wasn't buttered. The owners response..... I'll do better next time! That will be £12 please!"

"Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Gusto has everything from toasted focaccias, fresh bed, prepared quiches to eat in or take away. The cannelloni soup of the day is the best soup I’ve had in London! Staff are always friendly. This is also a nice place to stock up your cupboards with treat food from cheeses and meats to proper Italian pasta, olive oil and biscuits"

"Herne Hills best keep secret. Food is delicious and its a perfect place for lunch, brunch or some me time. They also have a lovely garden at the back."
