MENU
Burger + Pasta = love at first sight!
“Dez Amore” kitchen carries a double soul, focusing on gourmet burgers alongside hand-made Italian pasta.
Pasta
A universally known word, the heart of Italian cuisine. Dez Amore offers a modern version: fresh, made by hand every day, cut in front of your eyes.
Selected top-quality ingredients are used to make the simple recipe of flour and water. Pasta, love and dreams: the menu offers different types of pasta (tagliatelle, caserecce, gnocchi), including filled pasta (ravioli). The sauces are the classics of Italian cuisine (Bolognese, Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Burro e Salvia, Truffle etc.), handed down from generation to generation.
Burger
The most famous stuffed bun in the world, reinterpreted by the excellence of genuine Tuscan tradition.
Made by hand, in front of your eyes, with free-range meat of English origin, our Gourmet Burgers are filled from 100 %free – range beef and filled with Tuscany ingredients; such as truffles, pecorino cheese, porcini mushrooms, and caramelized onions in Chianti wine, etc.
All of our burgers are served in a single or double patty option. We also satisfy vegetarians and vegans with our plant-based burger option.
Why
DEZ AMORE
In Italy we believe that food is love and that you only cook well if you do it with care.
Love can be found in everything we do! From the wholesome ingredients to the sustainability of tools used to prepare and serve our food to our menu that follows the rhythm of the seasonal nature of products.
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.

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.
