Forza Wine in Peckham is a rooftop restaurant and bar offering Italian-influenced small plates, natural wines and panoramic views across London. Situated at The Rooftop on Rye Lane, it occupies the top floor of Market Peckham, directly opposite Peckham Rye station, placing it at the heart of one of south London’s most energetic and creative neighbourhoods. The surrounding area is known for its independent shops, galleries, music venues and multicultural food scene, making the restaurant a popular stop for both locals and visitors.
The space combines a bright indoor dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large outdoor terrace, giving guests year-round access to skyline views. The atmosphere is relaxed and contemporary, with a design that encourages casual dining, drinks with friends and long afternoons on the terrace.
The menu is described as 'Italian-ish', focusing on seasonal small plates that are simple, ingredient-led and designed for sharing. Dishes change frequently but often include favourites such as cauliflower fritti, crostini, salads, grilled vegetables and other plates that draw on Italian flavours without adhering strictly to traditional recipes. The offering is intentionally concise, allowing the kitchen to adapt to seasonal produce and maintain a consistently fresh menu.
Forza Wine is equally known for its drinks programme, featuring a curated list of natural and low-intervention wines, alongside house cocktails and classic options. The drinks list is designed to complement the food while also standing on its own for guests visiting primarily for the bar experience.
With its rooftop setting, Italian-leaning menu and strong focus on wine, Forza Wine has become a standout dining destination in Peckham, offering a stylish yet informal experience that reflects the creative character of the neighbourhood.
