Forza Win

A place that bookends the meal with a plate of parmesan chunks and a crème anglaise/espresso hybrid knows the value of a good time. And Forza Win certainly does. The Italian spot in Camberwell is all whitewashed brick walls, shelves lined with wine bottles, tinkling of glasses—and a good times atmosphere. Hospitality is as generous as the heap of buttery pappardelle with rich lamb ragu, and the amount of fresh olive oil drizzled over comforting braised borlotti beans. The buzzy atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for a casual date night or a group catch-up, when nights end with spoons clinking in shared bowls of boozy tiramisu. And with one of those creamy, custard hybrid coffees.
