    Daddy:daughter night out. Fussy daughter declared her burger “the best I’ve ever had out” and declared the chocolate brownie “best ever!”. My steak and chips was spot on. Staff are lovely, nicely attentive and very helpful, despite the restaurant being full. Atmosphere was great - the Friday of a bank holiday weekend and a wedding party thoroughly enjoying themselves! Must take the wife there next time…

    Let me start by saying that I'm a Neapolitan pizza chef and a very demanding one, and I can say that the pizza dough is excellent, the atmosphere is very relaxing, you can feel the Italian authenticity, and the waitress is very good, helpful, and fast. But one thing that shocked me... the coffee! I think it's the best in the UK. I've lived in London for almost 10 years and I've never had such good and creamy coffee, a real transport to nderr Napoli!
