About Casa Italiana San Vincenzo Pallotti
Casa Italiana San Vincenzo Pallotti, established in 1960, is London's oldest Italian social club, located in the heart of what was once known as 'Little Italy' in Clerkenwell. For decades, it has served as a vibrant meeting place for Italians of all generations and their friends, offering a space to dance, eat, and gather in an authentic Italian environment. In recent times, Casa Italiana has faced challenges due to changing demographics and financial constraints - so efforts are underway to attract younger members by introducing events like supper clubs, screenings and a sell-out monthly Italian "language bar".
