A beloved Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of Lewisham, Bella Roma, has gained newfound fame after appearing in the heart-wrenching Netflix TV series, One Day.
From the late eighties to 2007, One Day narrates the journey of Dexter and Emma, whose paths intertwine on their graduation day from the University of Edinburgh. Against the iconic backdrop of London, viewers witness their love story unfold, experiencing both its highs and lows.
In episode 13 of One Day, Dexter, Emma, and Jasmine share a poignant moment over pizza at Bella Roma, a family-run Italian restaurant located at 13 Lewis Grove.
Bella Roma, situated next to a beauty supply store just a short walk from Lewisham train station, boasts a sleek, stylish interior with bright green paint, creating an inviting ambience for diners.
Open seven days a week from 11.30am until 10.30 pm, Bella Roma offers a wide range of familiar favourite pizzas and pasta and unique dishes that keep patrons coming back for more.
Reviewers have praised Bella Roma for its authentic Italian experience, with one stating that their visit felt like “being in Italy,” noting the restaurant serves the “best pizza” they have ever tasted in southeast London. The restaurant’s child-friendly atmosphere and excellent service have also garnered acclaim from patrons.
The menu at Bella Roma features an array of delectable options, including antipasti starters like muscadines (deep-fried baby squid) and doze scopate (fresh mussels in white wine), as well as hearty mains such as the torsion, a potato and vegetable cake topped with fontina cheese and rocket, and a classic spaghetti carbonara.
In a Facebook post, the team at Bella Roma extended an invitation to customers to “experience the magic” firsthand by visiting the beloved restaurant themselves. They encouraged patrons to join them for a taste of Italy and to relive their favourite scene from the One Day series.
As Bella Roma continues to captivate diners with its authentic cuisine and charming ambience, its cameo appearance in One Day is a testament to its enduring popularity and status as a cherished local gem in Lewisham.
