The fabulous aroma of freshly cooked pizza and the sights of the chirpy, flour covered lads pulling bubbling pizzas from the wood oven are the first reassuring signs that these guys know their stuff. As for the taste and quality of the pizzas they really are a true feast for the senses. The pizza bases are light, airy and the perfect level of crisp. The toppings generous and full of flavour. Picollo offers glorious pizza at reasonable prices that are prepared in true Italian fashion! So head down to Swanson for a little bit of a Naples experience!

I visited this place quite some time ago and I had some amazing pizza here and the service was down right friendly and welcoming! It probably helped that the owner recognized me and was honored to have my travel companion and I at their establishment and offered to comp our meal. I said no thank you I will pay and I left them a large tip for there kindness and welcoming atmosphere. We had the Rocket and Prosciutto, Antipasto (for 2), Carne Pizza, and the Quattro Formaggi Pizza. my companion had the Nutella calzone and I had their only option for chocolate free gelato. A MUST PLACE TO VISIT AND EAT AT IF YOU ARE VISITING THE CITY!!! All pizza had an amazing crust which I haven't had since my studies at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in France. The gelato was smooth and very silky. The salad was good quality and the antipasto had several good options although I remember it being waay too much food so we gave our leftover to some homeless people we saw later that evening.

I arrived around five thirty and the popular pizzeria had a few guests eating pasta on the front outdoor seating area. The owner who bakes all the pizza's himself is a friendly and humorous Greek man, and was only too happy to point out the fave choices of pizza for us first time visitors. The Top picks were Greco, a delicious topping of lamb, red onion, olives, peppers, tzatziki, basil and parsley (My first pick also). And the Quattro Stagioni which had Salami, Ham, Prawns and Mushroom, this was sensational (my second pick). As it was the premiere visit, we opted for the two small pizzas, costing both under 18 dollars each, and let me tell you, I thought I could have eaten a pizza to myself, however the servings were so great that I only managed about 2 pieces each. Beautiful pizza base , and the toppings are just divino divine! I will be back as soon as I can, to try more pizza flavours, and a pasta dish for sure.

Myself and another had to take the remainder home as we were too full to finish. During our meal there was a constant stream of people collecting their takeaways. I noticed that most people had 5 or 6 pizzas. Most of the customers must have been regulars as the staff seemed familiar with them. The decor and atmosphere was pretty basic, but who cares with lovely pizza and pasta in front of you.

Miss Q's is a sports bar located in the Westgate shopping complex. I've only been there once, and I…read morehave to say I was quite surprised and impressed by the amount of pool tables they had. There were plenty free for my friends and I to use, which was convenient as we decided to have a bit of a pool competition! The bar itself was pretty good - there was a decent selection of wines, beers and spirits available. However whole they had a variety of cocktail options advertised, when my friend asked for a pina colada, the bartender actually had to Google how to make it. This was a pretty bizarre situation, but was also good for a bit of a laugh. On the whole I probably wouldn't be rushing back to Miss Q's, as the atmosphere was a bit seedy - as well as having pool tables, Miss Q's also has lots of pokies so attracts some pretty average patrons. Plus, as someone who isn't really in to sport, Miss Q's was never going to be a perfect match for me. That having been said, playing pool was really fun, and due to its casual atmosphere it is a great place to keep in mind if you and your friends just feel like getting a bit rowdy and can't be bothered heading all the way in to town!

I imagine the real Miss Q to be a smiling, buxom lady- the motherly type that you wouldn't want to piss off. She keeps everything clean and isn't afraid to smack you one if you get out of hand. The pub is a spacious sports bar with ample seating and more than a couple of pools tables. It has it's regulars slouched over the pokies or arched toward the TV screens. Some local band might belt out some pub anthems on a Wednesday or Thursday night. It also attracts a lot of attention from the younger groups leaving the near-by cinema or bowling alley mid week.
