Le Querce is a family run Italian restaurant on Brockley Rise in south east London. Opened in 2006 by chef Antonello Serra, it combines contemporary Italian cooking and Sardinian influence with the warm, unhurried atmosphere of a well established neighbourhood dining room.
Fresh ingredients and seasonal ideas guide the cooking, with handmade pasta an important part of the restaurant’s identity. Sardinian references sit alongside broader Italian traditions, and changing specials allow the kitchen to make the most of produce available at different times of year.
The restaurant is also known for unexpected house-made ice cream flavours, including savoury ingredients used with imagination. Those playful touches complement rather than replace the carefully executed pasta and main dishes, giving regular diners something new to discover.
The cosy room suits family meals, celebrations and relaxed dinners, while the connected gastronomy and coffee shop extends the restaurant’s cooking into products for home. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm the latest ingredients and preparation practices with the team before ordering.
Address: 66–68 Brockley Rise, Forest Hill, London SE23 1LN, England
