A popular Italian restaurant in Camberwell is closing its doors after 12 years in business.
Forza Win on Camberwell Church Street will be serving its final customers on Friday 21 February.
The restaurant was opened by Bash Rashford and Michael Lavery 12 years ago, initially starting life as a supper club and later taking on premises in Shoreditch, Peckham and Bethnal Green before moving into its current building in 2022.
The restaurant is known for its traditional five-course ‘Italian-ish’ meal structure, served alongside its homemade Clemencello, an orange-flavoured spin on Limoncello.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Rashford and Lavery said they would be closing the popular spot in order to focus on the restaurant’s sister brand Forza Wine, which has two locations in Peckham and the National Theatre.
The post added: “All of that said, we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come. We’ve spent the best part of a decade trying to explain that Forza Win and Forza Wine are two different things (that ‘e’ doing a lot of heavy lifting) – now it’s only Forza Wine you need to remember, and we’ll be slinging cauliflower fritti and custardos in more postcodes very soon.
“And where Camberwell is concerned, we’ve found someone lovely to take over the space and serve the community – more on that soon.”
