This adorable Italian restaurant only has four tables.
Found behind the much-loved Bussey Building in Peckham’s Copeland Park, Oi Spaghetti is a cosy little restaurant specialising in spaghetti and tiramisù. The operative word there is ‘little’, as the space only contains four small tables.
Founded by the lovely Francesco and Tatiana, Oi Spaghetti was originally intended as a temporary pop-up, but they’ve been going strong now since 2015.
Serving up traditional Italian food with a modern twist, Oi Spaghetti dishes out generous portions of pasta from a very modest menu – there’s only ever about four or five options to choose from.

Small but mighty, the restaurant exclusively uses organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Their meat, for example, comes from the nearby Bellenden Road butchers, Flock & Herd.
They added ‘+ Tiramisù’ more recently, presumably because they became masters of the dessert. And what a combo doth spaghetti and tiramisù make! Throw a carafe of wine into the mix and I think it’ll do you quite nicely.
The small space is decked out with gorgeous furniture and interiors—courtesy of Tatiana’s excellent taste—and there’s plenty of pretty foliage to complete the relaxed, homely vibe.
Oi Spaghetti + Tiramisù is open for lunch 12-3pm (Tuesday to Friday) and dinner 7-10 (Tuesday to Saturday). We recommend booking via Facebook if you want to bag a spot.
