First of all I would just like to say that this is the best Italian restaurant we have been to in…read moreUK. Last Summer it was packed out every night of the week. This summer it's still really full. We think when it was packed out, it was because the best chef was there. This summer its still a fantastic chef but the brother maybe of the one they had last year(?). Look, its all much of a muchness because its owned by a large Italian family and they just rotate the chefs as they have 3 establishments, including one in Somerset! Their basic tomato sauce recipe is made by an Italian and so you can be assured he hasn't cut any corners in the long and drawn-out process of proper tomato sauce reduction, using the freshest ingredients and extra virgin oil The food served here is bursting with fragrant basil and garlic. We recommend the gorgeous side salads using excellent quality beefy vine tomatoes. We visit this place for birthdays and long-lost re-unions. tip: portions are large so make sure you can undo your trousers easily as you'll need to make extra room.....lol

A really nice local restaurant that serves delicious Italian food…read more We went in there for a birthday celebration and they made an effort to make the birthday girl feel special. There was also a musician there the night we went, which was a nice accompaniment to the meal. The prices are good but the food is wonderful.

The atmosphere is good though the decor is a little dated. And we had a couple of fussy issues with the food, such as the potatoes in the antipasti being dry and the cheesecake not being sweet enough for me. But overall, it is a wonderful and relaxed place to nibble away the night.

Perfectly poised on the High Street near the Castle, this meal was a feast for royalty. Excellent, unique preparations of well executed dishes. The special starter of buffalo mozzarella with sun-dried tomatoes had the right balance. The lasagna as well as delectable baked spinach and ricotta crepes arrived piping hot in a ceramic dish. Pretty linens, warmth, and delectable choices all added to the ambiance. Did I mention basket of plants lining the interior walls? Bellissimo!!

This place came at the recommendation of a colleague who lives in St. Albans. Having been raised in…read morethe Itlaian neighborhoods of the NY suburbs, I have relatively high standards for an Italian deli. And this is a great little deli. The locals seem to flock to this place pretty frequently. The owners new customers by name (always a great sign), and there was a line when we got there (which moved quickly). Plenty of pastas, paninis, antipastas, and more. We placed a massive order for 5 people and sat outside. Everything was delivered quickly and we ate while reaching our forks over each other's plates to make sure everything was tried, and nothing was missed. I didn't spend too much time looking, but there is a little shop as well which offers different sauces, pastas, etc. for purchase. They all look delicious, and great for a gift basket.

We visited Pircio this weekend gone. It's location means it's slightly hidden compared with lots of…read morethe chain restaurants on North Street, but having spotted some signs from the Baroosh window we decided to check out the restaurant and we're glad we did. This is a fantastic space. It's a hall type building that has been very carefully transformed into a large restaurant which successfully maintains an intimate feel using delicate lighting, cleverly created seating areas and has a large bar and pizza oven framing each end of the building. The menu's refreshing, as it's effectively a double-sided sheet with Italian delights on one side and mediterranean on the other, so if you have friends who want to eat Italian but you fancy something different or vice versa, the choice will please you in a big way. We're both vegetarian, and the selection of vegetarian food was excellent, though it's worth pointing out that like all awkward customers I set my heart on one of the meaty offerings and asked if they would be able to do me it without the meat, which the restaurant happily obliged. Top notch. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, we didn't feel rushed at all and once we asked for the bill it arrived promptly with the card machine following suit very soon after. Again top notch. The only thing we could fault was the starter, which arrived a little cooler than you would normally expect for deep fried brie, but was still delicious. A nice atmosphere, a great wine menu and effectively TWO menu's makes this an easy pick if you're looking for great food away from the usual chains. Highly recommended.

My entree was the chicken Milanese and it was cooked perfectly with a side of arugula and lemon wedge. This dinner also comes with a side so I chose roasted potatoes. They were delicious. Perfectly seasoned and roasted. I would definitely go again as you can tell that everything is made with care.
