Cafe Amisha is a neighbourhood Italian restaurant at 161 Grange Road in Bermondsey, established in 2010. Its warm dining room and outdoor terrace offer a relaxed setting within walking distance of Bermondsey Street, Tower Bridge and London Bridge.
Traditional Italian cooking is supported by seasonal ingredients and dishes prepared to order. Handmade pasta, slowly cooked sauces and stone baked pizza form the heart of the menu, with locally sourced produce and selected Italian ingredients used where they make the greatest difference.
Representative choices include carbonara with egg and pecorino, seafood risotto, pizza with tomato and buffalo mozzarella, and other rotating meat, fish and vegetable dishes. Tiramisu and house desserts carry the same familiar Italian approach through to the end of the meal.
The restaurant works equally well for a casual local dinner, a family meal or a sunny table on the terrace. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should speak to staff before ordering because pasta, pizza and other dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen.
Address: 161 Grange Road, Bermondsey, London SE1 3GH, England
