Why
DEZ AMORE

contemporary cuisine
Not just Italian food!
At “Dez Amore” we believe in contemporary cuisine that found its core in the authentic Italian culinary tradition, evolving it with the fusion of international gourmet recipes.
We believe in the comforting effect of a good dish cooked by hand and made with love, capable of sustaining the millenary tradition of seating people around a table. Today, like yesterday, food is about togetherness.

Dez AMORE
Lab
The beating heart of Dez Amore is our Workshop. A 400-square-metre space in the Deptford district, on the south bank of the Thames, in south-east London. Here, everything you can taste in our shacks and restaurants is produced, made and cooked. That’s because every sauce and every topping, every ingredient, from the burger bun to the plain and stuffed fresh pasta, is made in-house by the large Dez Amore family. Following traditional and genuine Italian recipes and using the best technologies of the food industry. A unique culinary experiment in London that guarantees freshness and the precious art of homemade. A gastronomic experience that starts in the newly opened spaces in Deptford and arrives above every table and inside every takeaway box in our shops. Dez Amore Lab consists of a Pasta room, a Pizza room, a Vegetables room, a Kitchen and two pantry spaces.
