Hi,

My mum has recently moved over here from Italy, she doesn't speak English and would love to meet other italians of a similar age (she is 75) who live in the area for a chat and a coffee.

Please message me to arrange.

Many thanks

I can't help directly as I'm not Italian, but there's that Italian restaurant in HOP run by some very nice Sardinians. That may be a good place to start.

Yes agreed, try Le Querce. Also frequented by lots of Italians.

Hi,
Not sure if your mum is religious or not, but an Italian friend of mine used to go to the (Catholic) Italian Church in London. It's in Central London, but she may well meet quite a few people in her age group there, so might be worth a visit? http://www.italianchurch.org.uk/
There is also a website called Italians of London, they regulaly organise get togethers and large Italian gatherings in bars and restaurants, but for younger people, so not really suitable for her.
