The spot

Why go here?

San Marco has been on Bruce Grove for over half a century, run by the same family. It is the kind of neighbourhood trattoria London is steadily losing. The pizzas come out of a wood-fired oven, the pasta is straightforward and the bill is fair, which makes it a proper pre-match meal rather than a pint stop.

  • Family-run trattoria, over 50 years on Bruce Grove
  • Wood-fired pizzas and classic Italian pasta
  • Honest prices, generous portions
  • Small room, books up quickly on matchdays
  • Bruce Grove Overground station right outside the door
  • 10 to 12 minute walk north up the High Road to the stadium

Best moment to visit

Pizza and a glass of red before the walk up the High Road

  • Sit down, order a carafe of house red
  • Wood-fired pizza or a plate of pasta
  • Espresso to finish
  • Walk north to the stadium with time to spare

Heads up: it is a small room and home games fill it. Book the table before you book anything else.
