Cosy Cafe — Restaurant in London

We visited this place a couple of weeks ago, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The owner is a very nice and welcoming person—he’s Italian and creates a warm atmosphere for his guests.

Excellent little gem of a cafe!! This little cafe serves up no nonsense good much.

Expect to see raw East London locals here but there's always a friendly atmosphere.

Parking is a pain as it's all permit parking however there is pay and display further...
