This quintessential neighbourhood Italian restaurant is a warm and atmospheric venue serving up delicious authentic fare in south east London. Locale boasts a bustling open kitchen and a stylish dining room featuring brown leather banquettes, exposed brick walls and chandeliers which is popular with Dulwich food lovers for weekend brunch, leisurely lunches, after-work Bellinis and romantic evening meals. A firm fixture on the local dining scene, the retaurant is also a popular venue for private dinner parties and the classic menu, created by Executive Chef Paolo Barone, features favourites such as the Linguine ai frutti di mare – seafood linguine with fresh tomatoes, chillis, clams, calamari and king prawns; and the asparagi mimosa – grilled asparagus with crushed dressed eggs.

Comments & ratings 4/5 (Average of 1 rating)
Locale has been our 'local' for the last few months. One of the things we like best about the place is the layout - cocktail bar and patio up top; restaurant at the back. This means its great to drop in just for a drink, or if you want to make an evening of it you can have drinks in the front part of the establishment before moving to the back for a meal. Almost like being in two different places without ever leaving the building.
The staff is lovely, and we've come to know many of them by name (and they us). We always enjoy the food - which runs from pastas and pizzas to chicken/fish/steak dishes. Wine list is decent, and as for cocktails we highly recommend the Bon Bon Martini :)
Great location and atmosphere. The opera nights are a treat. We were there again tonight, and will be back again soon.
