They never really bounced back after the extended closure to fit the massive pizza oven and then lockdown hit. I do hope that they come back as the food was delicious.

Notice on the window says they are due to re-open on 31 August.

Excellent, I didn't notice that when I passed. Thank you.
Thanks. That is good news indeed. Such a sweet place with a brilliant menu.

Do you mean Memento Northfields? Remember Northields?

No, Momento (spelling is correct).Lovely little Italian restaurant.
N V Brooks ● 1871d
But were they Italian?

No idea about the owners but iirc the chef was Calabrian as was the menu.
I do hope they reopen. Can't wait to go again.Unlike Brasserie Blanc where we wasted a lot of money on seriously inferior food the other day.

Is there any news? Those who live nearby may know.

It was dark when I drove past yesterday sadly.

This is what I was thinking. Looks like we've lost it. How sad

Some places are taking ages to resume trading. I was in Rye yesterday at a restaurant that has only just reopened. New staff took time to train and get up to speed.All may not be lost.
Walked past today. Notice about reopening has been removed and place is still dead-looking. Windows and door are covered, so you can't see inside.Will be a shame to lose the place.

Our understanding is that it will re-open next Tuesday, 7th September.

But that's not looking very probable is it?
My wife spoke to the owner last Tuesday and he is expecting to open next Tuesday.
Bernard Collen ● 1836d
Thank you so much. That is great news.

Didn’t happen unfortunately. We spoke to the owner again today and he apologises for the continuing delay but this is due to unforeseen circumstances. He does now expect to reopen next Tuesday, 14th September. We used to eat there 2 or 3 times a month so we sorely miss going. Fingers crossed it will happen this time

Meanwhile, Tony and his lovely family at Atlantis on Pitshanger Lane now offer a full takeaway service for those who don't wish to dine in at the restaurant. Ate there this evening the food is, as ever, wonderful.

Momento opened yesterday evening :-)

Great, thank you for the update.

Just had a great meal in Momento. Nice to see it is open again and busy. Probably the best tiramisu ever! If you haven't tried it, you must. Good fod at reasonable prices.
We'll be going very soon.
