Le Querce
Top tags:
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.
Excellent family run restaurant. Great menu and food beautifully cooked. Staff charming and informative, and a reasonably priced wine list.
I'm never disappointed when I eat at Le Querce. Great food, Friendly staff and a relaxed environment. I love the interesting dishes and unusual ice creams and sorbets. Don't go expecting your usual Italian fare...this has a distinctive Sardinian twist that I love.
Authentic, relaxing and a fun evening with perfect food, service and style
An excellent family-run restaurant - true to Sardinian cuisine. A wide range of food to choose from including a number of seasonal specials. Ravioli - sheep's cheese and spinach - was outstanding. Highly recommended.
Overpriced relative to other restaurants in London, even relative to central London.
I love this restaurant. Robert is always so friendly, helpful and welcoming. This restaurant is great for shellfish, meat and vegetarians. The cost represents the quality. Just great for a celebration 🎉
Outstanding Italian and Sardinian food. Every time. Lovely attentive service if you want to ask anything.
Excellent fish, very good wine, try the ice cream and sorbets.
Antonello looked after my daughter and I very, very well. The food was nicely executed and beautifully served.
Nice restaurant lovely food and service. The garlic ice cream was amazing!
Excellent dishes. We ordered two starters that were fresh, well presented and delicious. And pasta for main course which was fantastic, and the chicken was excellent too.
Good service. Friendly staff.
Fantastic food with a large selection of daily specials. Friendly welcoming staff. We will certainly go back. One negative comment. 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.
We had a lovely meal there. I had the steak, which was lovely, and we shared a large sage ravioli to start which was perfect!
We've been intending to visit this 'local' for years and never got round to it. Our loss! It was exactly what you need from a local italian. Authentic everything (staff, ambience, menu, ingredients, wine list) and delicious food. We'll be back.
As always great food, friendly service and best pizza in London.
Very friendly staff, authentic food without pretension
The food is always superb. The staff are always kind, friendly and attentive with good advice. And I will say again that the food is always superb - you can't say it enough. Such a great local treat!
An excellent meal again! The wine was amazing and the food so tasty. I had the spaghetti sea food linguine, which was fantastic. So lucky to have in our neighbourhood.
I can't imagine there is an Italian restaurant anywhere in London that serves food as good as Le Querce. Everything about the whole experience was magnificent - including the birthday treat they gave us at the end!
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.
Excellent as always
It's been a while since we've been here and almost forgot how good it was. Unfussy, great flavoured food and great ice cream to finish!
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!
Excellent meal and would highly recommend Le Querce
This is a friendly, family run business. We have been going to Le Querce fir many years, and the food and service is always special.
Great neigbourhood restaurant, highly recommended.
At least the third time I've been here with different family members. It's by far my favourite local restaurant & I've recommended it to many people. Long may it continue!!
Excellent food and great service.
A local gem that should be visited as soon as possible.
We are very lucky to have this in Brockley
We had a lovely dinner for six of us last Saturday. The food was superb - inventive and delicious. This is a definite step up on the standard pizza/spaghetti joint. We all had mini starters which meant that we had room for ice cream and sorbet for pudding. You won't get such and interesting range of home made ice cream anywhere else in SE London. A definite hit.
Sunday early dinner. Kids party inside so we chose to dine on the terrace.
Fabulous, fresh, beautifully cooked food, and a favourite is always those ice creams and sorbets. I love coming to this place. A special treat.
The best by far. Quality food time after time
A treat of a meal. Delicious fresh food cooked simply and beautifully...almost like being on holiday ... all we missed was the sea and the sun!
Absolutely delightful oasis of food heaven on Brockley Rise. The food is inventive, well thought through with surprising combinations that simply just worked! The guy in charge was very pleasant and a good host. We had a most pleasant evening. Thankyou!
Lovely food as always. Wines were hit and miss this time. One miss, followed but a more expensive hit. A fantastic place to share a meal with friends. Staff were friendly and accommodating.
The best meal and friendliest staff I've come across in a long long time. Superb!
Brilliant. A total gem. Booked at short notice and we had a fabulous evening. Thanks very much (again!)
Lovely authentic Sicilian restaurant. Relaxed, quiet & understated, the emphasis being on the important things the food and the service, both excellent.
Great food and atmosphere. A lovely family from Sardinia owns this restaurant and they are really friendly and accommodating. The chef is very creative resulting in a very interesting- and yummy- menu, with a modern take on traditional Italian dishes.would Definitely recommend 👌👌
A warm welcome from the owner. Delicious food and wine - with informed comment about both. We will be back.

You may never look at a pig in the same way again if you develop cysticercosis after dining on pork in a foreign country. The pork tapeworm called Taenia solium is the source of the Cysticercosis infection. Your body becomes infected when you ingest the larvae from the pork tapeworm and these worms form cysts. If any cysts form in the brain, then the disease is called neurocysticercosis.
People rarely get this infection from the pork tapeworm in the United States and Muslim countries don't normally have occurrences as they do not eat pork. However, developing countries with little in the way of sanitation and waste management practices and have roaming pigs that could potentially eat the excrement from humans are likely to have occurrences of cysticercosis with some frequency.
Symptoms of Cysticercosis
Tapeworm eggs are shed through the feces of humans. From there, the eggs could somehow contaminate food, drinking water or even dirty bathroom areas. You could accidentally touch something contaminated with the eggs and then put your fingers in your mouth and ingest them. Once these tapeworm eggs reach the stomach, they hatch and spread through the body via the bloodstream and get into the intestine or develop cysts in the brain, eyes or muscles.
When the tapeworm creates a cyst in the muscles, you will not likely experience any symptoms. However, you may feel bumps under the skin which are the cysts. In the eyes, a cyst from one of these pork tapeworms could impair vision by floating around. An infection could result as well causing a detached retina or general swelling.
A cyst in the brain has the potential to be quite serious. Headaches are common as are seizures. Swelling in the brain could occur as well. Many people experience general confusion, balance issues and attention deficit problems. Repeated infections from these cysts could cause death.
The baffling part is that the symptoms of cysticercosis may not manifest themselves for months or even years. Only when vision is impaired or symptoms of a cyst in the brain occur is diagnosis even a possibility. Blood tests are not always accurate so brain scans and MRIs are relied on, particularly for neurocysticercosis. Exploratory surgery may occur if definitive answers have not been found.
Treatment and Prevention of Cysticercosis
Anti-inflammatory drugs help with the swelling caused by the pork tapeworm while anti-parasitic drugs help kill the tapeworm and its eggs as well. As mentioned above, surgery may occur and may especially bring relief should drugs and other means do not alleviate the symptoms like swelling of the brain. Keep in mind that if you have these cysts in the muscles, you would likely not display any symptoms and therefore would not have treatment.
You can avoid contracting cysticercosis while traveling abroad by not eating undercooked pork products or even other meats. In addition, always wash your hands after bathroom breaks, particularly in rural areas and developing countries were sanitary conditions are not common. Also, do not handle any food without washing your hands.
Do not eat raw vegetables and fruits, only cooked. If the fruit or vegetable comes with a peel, wash it thoroughly first and then peel and eat it. Drink only bottled water with an unbroken seal and do not drink anything with ice cubes in it as they could have been made with contaminated water. Filter all of your water before drinking or chemically treat it first. Taking all of these precautions should keep you pretty healthy during your trip.

The big loser last month was commodities, which shed more than 4% overall. Meanwhile, REITs continue to rise, adding 1.2% in the U.S. market and gaining 1.0% on an offshore basis. Over the past year, REITs generally are in the performance lead among the major asset classes. Foreign REITs in particular are higher by a strong 24.6% through the end of February 2013. REITs has been on a tear for most of the past 12 months, a strong indication of the recovery in commercial properties - the fact that money is leaving the sidelines and venturing into stocks and properties in the US is a strong trend for a buoyant market in 2013.
By comparison, bonds, US and foreign have been muted, again a show of money exiting bonds. You would think that considering a market rally in equities based on liquidity (thanks to all central banks printing press) would have seen an effect in commodities, the reverse is happening. That is not a good thing as it may mean that the current equity rally is largely a bubble as it is not translating into real activity (i.e. pickup in commodities buying for end products or consumption). A better explanation would that there has been so much excess capacity and inventory for commodities that they will only pick up by June July methinks, same for the precious oil.

Truman VA to open a new inpatient surgical facility
Related Story
COLUMBIA - Harry S. Truman Memorial Veteran's Hospital celebrated the opening of a new surgical unit Wednesday.
Truman VA unveiled the completely renovated inpatient surgical facility with a ribbon cutting and open house.
The new surgical inpatient unit will move from the sixth floor to the third floor of Truman VA, more than doubling in size from 6,900 to 15,300 square feet, allowing the space for private rooms, instead of the old semi-private rooms.
"We believe that because of their service, that they have earned this care in the VA." David Isaacks, Medical Center Director of Truman VA said. "We want to be at or above the community standard when it comes to care."
The new unit has 18 rooms, two equipped for bariatric patients. The rooms are also equipped with vital sign monitors for automatic data entry, which helps both the patient and the nurses, and leaves no room for manual entry errors.
"They wirelessly transmit data," Surgical Unit Nurse Manager Justin Duckworth said. "Any kind of potential error that can be happening from transcribing that information will be eliminated, and also that information is available for providers and other team members in a more timely manner."
All of the patient rooms have state-of-the-art technology, including ceiling lifts to move patients in and out of their beds to restrooms or out of the room for procedures.
Friends and families also have ample space in the new rooms to spend the night with their loved ones, which was not possible before.
"The ability to have a private room, as well as the furniture that can accommodate that family member and the space to inhabit them here is really going to help for our veteran comfort," Duckworth said.
Isaacks said with the new intensive care unit built and the new surgical unit on the third floor, Truman VA hopes to build a new medicine floor on the same floor, so veterans can seamlessly have their entire stay on one floor instead of having to travel within the hospital.

6 Tricks to Get More Marketing Mileage Out of Your Blogs
If you blog on a regular – or not so regular – basis for the primary purpose of marketing a business, product, message or service, are you getting the maximum mileage out of your blogs?
I am a writer (not a social media or marketing expert but boy, am I learning a lot) and as much as I love writing blogs – and do so on a weekly basis – I don't write them particularly fast.
As such, I try to make sure that for the blogs I do write, I get the maximum mileage out of them…the most bang for my buck, if you will, because time is money.
So when I take the time to write and post a blog on my company website, I want that blog to find its way to as many readers as possible.
But I'll tell you this for free (although, trust me, the lesson was expensive): if I just simply post that blog, then walk away and pray to the Google Search Engine Gods to send readers to my site, I will be waiting a very long time. I still have much to learn about SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
In the meantime, here's what I do:
1. I take the time to write a decent blog (750 words max), which usually takes me three 30-minute writing sessions to get from idea to rough draft to edit and polish.
The time in between those three writing sessions (usually a day) does wonders to ensure the finished blog is clear and concise. Plus this way the writing process is, for me, more enjoyable.
2. Then I post it the blog on my company website.
3. Then I put the link to that particular blog into one (or more) of my company's e-mail campaigns. These e-mails go out to people who have specifically subscribed to receive them (i.e. not only have they given us permission to e-mail them on a regular basis, they actually want to hear from us).
4. We then go to town on social media (we use Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) to share the blog's url link. Why we do this is obvious; HOW we do it is what matters…and that's where having some sort of strategy in essential. But more on that in an upcoming blog 🙂
5. Depending on the subject matter of the blog, we will also often e-mail, or tweet directly to, one of our strategic partners whose readers/followers could benefit from the messages in that particular blog – to let them know about the new blog and invite them to post it on their website and/or share with their social media network.
6. Then I revise that blog and submit an updated version of it to ezinearticles.com. When approved, they publish it on their website – but the bio at the bottom, of course, directs readers back to my company's site.
Here's a specific example of the trajectory of a blog:
I am the author of a book, entitled A Widow's Awakening. One of the target markets for this book are people who are grieving the loss of a loved one – or supporting someone who is.
So one way for me to reach this "grief" market is to write blogs that offer people tangible tips, based on my personal experience, about healthy ways to grieve (unfortunately, on this subject matter I am a bit of an expert).
So, following the same steps as outlined above:
1. I wrote a grief-related blog entitled, Coincidence or Connection – How Grief Can Awaken Our Capacity to Notice Connections Between Seemingly Unrelated Events.
2. I posted it on my company blog, The Watering Hole.
3. I sent it out to the e-mail subscribers in my company e-zine.
4. Then we sent the link out via social media, including tweeting about it on the A Widow's Awakening Twitter account.
5. We also submitted the blog to a relevant organization (whose readers would find it interest and use) and then they posted the blog on their website: Widowed.ca.
6. Then we tweaked the blog (to meet the submission guidelines) and submitted it to e-zinearticles.com, where it was published.
I hope you find this information of use in getting more mileage out of your own blogs…and more bang for your writing buck!

Smooth Sharing on Social Media: How Easy is it to SHARE Your Blog or E-zine?
If you are using social media as a business marketing tool and you haven't yet read Seth Godin's book, Unleashing the Ideavirus, I strongly urge you to do so. There is a good reason why it is the #1 selling e-book of all time.
In the book, Godin suggests that "the future belongs to marketers who establish foundation and process where interested people can market to each other. Ignite consumer networks and then get out of the way and let them talk."
"It is imperative to stop marketing AT people. The idea is to create an environment where consumers will market to each other."
– Seth Godin, Unleashing the Ideavirus
But here's the catch: if you want to create an environment where your consumers market to each other i.e. help spread the word about YOUR products, services, ideas and messages, you have to make it as fast and easy as possible for them to do so. Sounds simple? It is. How often is it done? Not nearly enough, I can tell you that.
Here's a prime example:
When I receive an e-zine in my e-mail inbox from a person whose products or services I have used in the past (and am obviously pleased with because I have given them permission to stay in contact with me), if what I read or view or listen to resonates with me in some way, I am happy to share their message/article/idea/podcast/video etc via social media. But 9 times out of 10, what happens when I try to do so?
I can't find any sort of share button in the e-mail!
OR if I do, for example, find the option to share the item on Twitter and then I click on it – only to find that the tweet created doesn't actually link to where the article lives on their website…it just leads to the home page. And what good is that? I will share your ideas or articles but don't expect me to just blindly send people to your homepage for no specific reason.
In Ideavirus terminology, Godin uses the word "smoothness" to describe this quality of being able to quickly and easily share an idea, blog, message, etc.
So if you are a small business owner using social media to market your products, services and ideas, my question to you is this: how easy is it for someone, such as myself, to help spread YOUR word?
Because if you are going to put in all the time and effort to write a blog and send it to your existing customers, please try and make it as easy as possible for the rest of us to help share your work.
Here are 3 simple ways you can help increase the smoothness of spreading your ideas:
1. Make sure you have the option to share on social media from your blog (on your website).
2. Make sure you have the option to share on social media from your e-zine.
3. Make sure the social media share options actually work e.g. if a reader clicks on the Twitter option, does the tweet that comes up actually take one to the correct place/blog/article?
Here's to smooth sharing on social media in 2015!

Psst…Might Sharing be the Secret of Social Media Marketing?
"The best way to be an interesting person is to be interested in others."
– Jordan Keats
When I heard Jordan, our instructor in the Social Media for Small Business class at Royal Roads, casually state the above sentence a few weeks back, my little gazelle ears perked up. I know a truth when I hear it – and that was one.
It is also, I am learning, a very effective way to use social media as a marketing tool.
The catch, of course, is that you have to actually BE interested in other people's ideas and messages versus pretending to be interested.
Mind you, feigned interest is a slight step up from NO interest, which I suspect is the norm more often than we care to admit. Because let's face it, social media can be a very me-centered medium in a very me-centered society. Look at MY photo! Read MY blog! Buy MY book! Hire ME! Watch MY video!
If you want people to share your content via social media, you must be willing to share theirs.
As such, I am taking Jordan's advice and actively looking at what other people have to offer – and then sharing what I'm learning…but not because I want other people to see me as a person who shares/plays well in the sandbox with others. As tempting as that might be, it's not an authentic reason for sharing – and one can spot a fake a mile away.
"Leaders who set out to give are more productive than leaders who seek to get…and the intent of the leader matters. The tribe can sniff out why someone is asking for their attention."
– Seth Godin, Tribes
Rather, I am sharing other people's content because someone else might find it of use or interest. And how do I determine whether content is share-worthy? Simple: if it has value to me, I will pass it on to like-minded peeps.
And get this: an added benefit of my efforts is that, in the past few weeks, I have learned more useful information about a wide variety of subjects, including social media, from reading other people's blogs and articles than I have in the past year! By thinking I was "too busy" to take a few minutes a day to learn some new ideas and perspectives, I shot myself in the foot by choosing to remain ignorant on matters that would help me with my business.
That's lovely…BUT how, pray tell, will all this lead to SALES?
Good question! And the answer is this: another significant benefit to sharing other people's content through social media is that by doing so, you are joining – or creating – and perhaps eventually leading a tribe of people who share similar interests. You are becoming part of a network of people you can do business with.
In other words, you are finding – or creating – your market.
"The Law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace."
– T. Harv Eker, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
So if the value you can deliver to the marketplace is not just your products, services and ideas but other people's as well, you will vastly increase your capacity to earn money from your own products, services and ideas. Why? Because a) the value YOU deliver to the marketplace has increased exponentially and b) the number of people you are connecting with BY HELPING THEM has increased exponentially…and therefore so will your income. No – it won't happen overnight. But if you are building a business that is meant to last, it will happen.
Here Are 6 Ways You Can Help Others Through Social Media:
1. Endorse people on LinkedIn
– Only if you know the person and can attest to their particular skill or experience.
2. Share another person's LinkedIn post
– If you deem the content valuable
– Don't overdo it (says I, from experience)
– Don't join every group in your industry and then proceed to share the same link in every group! A friend of mine told me how annoying it is to have to scroll through twenty of the exact same posts on her LinkedIn page.
3. Retweet other people's tweets
– Again, don't overdo it…we're looking for quality here not quantity
– Be genuine: take the time to read the quote, blog, article, etc first
4. Share other people's Facebook posts
– Be honest: only share someone else's FB posts if you genuinely think it a useful blog, cute photo, good story, helpful tip, inspirational quote, etc
5. Comment on other people's blogs
– Don't just read them; let the person know you've read them by leaving a brief but insightful bit of feedback. This could come back to you ten-fold because the chances increase significantly that the person will return the favour down the road.
6. Send tweets, or even write the occasional blog, that refers readers to other people's products, services and ideas
– Choose people/businesses you know and trust – and in whose services, products and/or ideas you believe in. You will be amazed at how mutually beneficial this can be 🙂
So how much time should you spend sharing other people's content on social media?
"Effectiveness – often even survival – does not depend solely on how much effort we expend, but on whether or not the effort we expend is in the right jungle."
— Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
If you are learning valuable knowledge that is of use and interest to you and your business, then sharing it with other people who are also in your jungle – your tribe – is probably not, within reason, a waste of time.
Obviously, however, you have to first have a clear sense of what you are trying to achieve with your company and WHY it matters. Then you can use that as a guide to determine a) how much time you should be spending sharing other people's content and b) what content to share.
For me, I am spending approximately 1/2 hour a day, three times a week sharing other people's content through social media.
As for creating your own content to share through social media channels? Well, that's a whole other blog topic…or two or three. So stay tuned!
