Antonello Serra moved to London in 1995 from the Il Faro restaurant in Sardinia, with its one Michelin Star for the high level of cuisine based on the reinterpretation of traditional dishes and seasonal products.

In the City, he worked at two prestigious venues: Metrogusto and Assaggi, also given one Star in the Michelin Guide.

2006 is known as the great leap.

On August 21, he opened his first restaurant “Le Querce” in Forest Hill, at number 66 Brockley Rise.

In the warm atmosphere of the restaurant, it is easy to indulge in good food at celebrations, events and moments of conviviality with family and friends. Perhaps the pleasure of taste is contained in the feelings it evokes, in an unmistakable emotion, created by a fellowship of experience and knowledge. Echoes and references to a known past, that feeds the senses and takes us on a journey from the infinite nuances.

Had a lovely date night meal. The food was as always outstanding and the service excellent. If you want delicious Italian food as you’d imagine Nonna makes it with out paying through the nose I highly recommend Le Querce. Glad it’s only a 10 min walk!!

Le Querce is a family-run restaurant in Brockley. The family are Sardinian. We have been coming here for years and even with stiff local competition, they are still excellent. The welcome is warm and friendly, the food and wine are excellent and the service efficient. Whenever we think of going elsewhere, we end up thinking - why should we when we have such an amazing restaurant on our doorstep. We are very lucky.

The place is bright enough so it feels cheerful and open without being garish - so it felt welcoming. Pity the guy showing me to my table didn't speak English but no worries! It was mid week so a bit quiet but everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food was really good and there was a decent choice so there should be something for everyone. We had a great monkfish main with seafood and celeriac puree which was excellent and the afters were fabulous - Apple tarte tatin with rhubarb ice cream! Service was well timed as we wanted time to chat and at no point did we feel rushed or that we had waited too long. No complaints about the service as such but it was a tiny bit impersonal but I am nit picking. The only thing I would like to see would be the introduction of some modern beers - some South London pale would have gone down a treat with the fish. Overall - really good.

We visit Le Querce regularly as it is by far our favourite local restaurant. The food is superb and the service and general ambience always make for a good night out. This time we took relatives who were visiting London and it did not disappoint. The food was great as always (special mentions to the seafood pasta, swordfish, sea bass and tiramisu) and the service friendly and efficient. This restaurant is an absolute local gem and well worth a visit from further away for the fantastic cooking, which is top-notch regional Italian specialities rather than the usual pizza and pasta. There is also a good selection of regional Italian wines. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Le Querce never disappoints. The food varies constantly but is always inventive, tasty and visually appealing. Everything is homemade and the service is personal and impeccable. Le Querce is a long lasting genuine local favourite. The cuisine is Sardinian so not your typical Italian red sauce menu. Fish always features prominently.

Seemed to be an off day. Long wait for service. Food not as good as usual. Inconsistency between dishes - my pasta far too peppery. Just not as good as usual and therefore not the usual value, taste or experience sadly. Music too loud and added nothing - diners shouting to each other over it. Disappointed compared to usual experience.

Nothing was written down when our order was taken and a primi piatti course never arrived which was a shame. I dont understand why someone taking your order wouldnt write it down.

Haven't been for a for a few years as no longer live in the area but it was as excellent as me and my wife remember. Interesting, tasty food. No problem with late additions. Complimentary prosecco as it was our anniversary, moved to the terrace to have our coffee. Just a really lovely place with great food.

Four of us had a very enjoyable evening eating main courses of mostly pasta and finishing with ice-cream and coffee. There was a bit of a wait to order but it was worth waiting for when the food arrived. My ravioli was delicious and the green beans complemented it very well. As always the different ice creams were tasty and provided a good talking point. The cost of the meal worked out to be about £27 pp, including tip. A return visit will be planned!
