The…read morebase of all of their pizzas are sour dough too and as a result the pizzas are pretty damn delicious. I'd recommend anything with artichoke (mmm four seasons) as they are particularly good here. But all delicious. Pizzas are around £8/9 and are super filling. The wine list is well priced, I don't remember too much over £20. The 'by the glass' isn't going to knock your socks off but with prices that cheap for a bottle, go on, get a bottle. It's more fun that way. The wine is served in tumblers. Argh. But fair enough, it's that type of wine. The other food like charcuterie, dips, antipasto are down to earth and refined rustic I guess. I'm always a sucker for a starter but don't go crazy or you will need to be rolled out of the joint as once you start eating that bread you will not be able to stop. They also do breakfast. Another chance to have the bread. My pick is the veg breakfast with everything (or I think I got vegan with eggs). The tomatoes are slow cooked and there is avocado. Haven't tried anything else breakfast-y but it reads well. Anyway, nice Italian, probably could cut out half of the menu and just have a bit more focus on pizza with a couple of extras. The steak with hollandaise for brunch seems a little unnecessary... Stick to pizza and antipasto-ish bits!

Answer: you can't - this is the place to come. It also scores highly for being a genuine Italian delicatessen, run by Italians, patrionised by Italians and stocked to the rafters with Italian produce. The owner and his staff are very friendly too. The only slight drawback is that it focuses on food to go, with only three tables to sit at, though they're often unoccupied. I really can't recommend this place highly enough.

My initial review below from three years ago stands: wonderful experience!…read more However, the most recent dinner experience with my friend 2 weeks ago dampened it. The owner/manager was super jovial when we stepped in and during dinner. Wonderful food as always and an excellent Falanghina pairing. My friend enjoyed her tiramisu. Very good service. At leaving, I asked for one of the Italian chocolate bonbons priced at £1.50. And since I didn't have cash (it's 2026 for God's sake get over it ), that same owner/manager mood switched FAST. Suddenly there was a scowl and MOOD when he got the card machine. Didn't even respond when we said thank you as we left. We had spent almost £90 between the two of us. If we were in Italy, we would get the friggin bonbon or limoncello on the house. Once again crappy customer service rears its head. Shame on you. 3 years ago: Like others have said, what a great little spot, tucked away on a quiet street. Italians run the place so you know it's genuine. Cozy, quick service, very amiable (and a quite attractive waiter from Palermo!) My friend and I split the crab pasta, cod with lentils and the chocolate fondant. The pasta was fresh and perfectly al dente, with a delicious buttery flavour. The cod was plump and juicy, expertly cooked, and I was delighted with the huge amount of lentils. A treat! The fondant could be plated differently- honestly it looks like a poop smear- but it was utterly delicious to end the night, with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. The wine carafe was a bit too expensive at £23 (!!) but the suggested dry white wine choice from Sardinia was delicious. Overall a wonderful experience and I would return.

Yep. We were staying across the street at the Residence Inn. We passed the restaurant several times…read moreduring the day and also in the evening. By day, it wasn't so exciting looking. By night, it looked warm and inviting. But we never judge books by their covers. That's a fool's errand. Instead, we look at yelp and then at other reviews that the reviewers wrote. What we read was intriguing enough to walk across the street and in the door. There was one table in use when we walked in. We asked for a table and were led to the back room and told to take the two-top of our choice. A young woman, who was apparently being trained shared the responsibility of taking care of us under the tutelage of an experienced server. They were both wonderful although my wife told me to quit joking with the younger server because she could see that I was causing confusion or consternation or both. We ordered: Minestrone Soup - 5 - THE BEST Minestrone Soup that we've EVER HAD, EVER! Pappardelle with Pork Ragu - 5 - OMG, the PASTA! Ribbons of perfection. And the Ragu was pretty darned good too. Gamberoni Fregula - 5 - Never really a fan of couscous, Fregula is similar with the primary difference that it is made by hand rather than by machine. It was the perfect support and accompaniment for the large Prawns on top of the dish. Spinach - 5 - We needed some kind of veg besides what we got in the soup and this simple spinach dish hit the spot. Bread & Oil - 5 - It was good enough to take the leftover bread home with us to toast and butter the next morning. Apple Fruit Tart - 5 - Flakey, buttery and just the right sweetness to support the apple which still had a bite to it. And of course, the Vanilla Ice Cream was good too. Tiramisu - 5 - They have permanently ruined all future Tiramisu for us. No one has ever made such a delicious creation. It was NOT packed with drunken Lady Fingers. It may have only had three or four suspended in a creamy custard held together by a lovely thin tuille and then dusted in cocoa. We were seriously thinking about going back just to have Minestrone Soup and Tiramisu but decided that we had to try some of the other restaurants nearby. We did go to another Italian restaurant nearby and were so disappointed. That restaurant had shared tables and when we saw how disappointed our seatmates were with their orders, we suggested to them to go to Locanda del Melo for the Tiramisu and all would be better. They were intrigued so we walked them over and said our good nights as they entered the restaurant.

Our son chose the Vialli Plus (he is a true Chelsea fan) the spicy salami, buratta, and sausage were a delicious trio.

We're from the states, but would go back in a split second if we could. We ordered pizza, pappardelle al ragu, gnocchi, salsiccia italiana.

We've been back home now for a handful of weeks and still talk about it regularly. While our other food was excellent, the salciccia and the pizza come up quite often. Even when we don't realize we're thinking of it, both come out of seemingly nowhere. Cannot recommend this place enough. Get there any way you can. You won't regret it.
