Zagarone Italian Restaurant

Hi all - does anyone know why my favourite Italian Restaurant - Zagarone at East Putney (Next to the Putney Tavern) is closed?

JillI Don’t think it opens Monday / Thursday lunchtimes. Opens from 5 pm those days. Nick

The windows are covered up with paper!

What!!! No! That's like my regular. Let's hope it is (another) refurbishment?

My 'source' (being someone who tends to dine there often) says it is an electrical problem..

Loved it in its first incarnation as 'La Vera Italia', just like a mom'n'pop Milanese corner cafe, Italian football on the T.V. and a huge menu.. Went a lot. Pasta "Sophia Loren" was wonderful. Zagarone has been o.k., worth a monthly, rather than a weekly, visit. More modern decor, smaller menu.

It's back up and running.I have to admit I probably go twice a month to Zaga and always love the meal we have. The sharing platter is very large and the cured meat & cheese is fantastic.Similarly the pizzas are brilliant and the size of the pasta is ridiculous.You have to try the pistachio icecream. Love finishing it off with a free grapa/amaretto/limoncello!

I agree with you Gabriella - so much nicer than going to a chain restaurant - personal service and they remember your name too!
