Best pizza I have ever has. The spicy garlic pizza they do is out of this world. The service is fantastic. Their lemonade soda they do is very refreshing and desserts to die for. I had this chocolate dessert that was kind of like an ice cream cake, never had it before but glad I tried it. They make fresh bread too and it's the best Italian bread ever. The new location is smaller but the decor and ambience is the greatest. Can't wait to go back here when I go back to London..... Their pizza I crave it everyday

The owner Dan Cameron was previously Head Chef at The Navigation Inn. We had considered trying his…read moreup-market restaurant at the Navigation, but we never found the menu very appealing. The recently opened Brasserie menu seemed better value and more generally appealing. The location is good, in the yard behind Odell's hardware store. In addition the main restaurant area there is some outside seating in the paved yard area. Shortly after we arrived we benefitted from someone from the kitchen, presumably the owner, swearing to his staff asking them if they'd asked the customers if they had used the car park. We gather their had been a problem with a customer leaving their car late, at which point the car park is locked. Whilst we may have benefitted from the warning about the car park, we didn't appreciate the language and it got the evening off to a bad start. The meal started with a complimentary amuse-bouche: cold courgette with some herbs and spice sprinkled on top and a small flower. Unfortunate the soup, and the heavy home-made roll that it was served with, were both disappointing. Our first course was Brie Parcels (£6) which had rather soggy pastry and a very over-dressed salad and scallops with cod cheeks (£9) which was much more successful. The mains were a cap rump steak (£18), which was nicely cooked with triple-cooked chips, and a double cooked pork dish (£11) was nice, but rather dry in the middle: the accompanying sauce was good, but unfortunately there wasn't enough of it. Puddings (£7) included a rather nice soufflé, but the pastry on a pear frangipan was thin at one end, thick at the other and very chewy. Overall it was a disappointment, which seems a shame: some elements were very good, but the food was disappointing in places and at these prices that shouldn't be the case. We'll probably come and try it again in 6-12 months time, and hope it has got into its stride.

We shared a couple of the starters; the pretzels with dough balls and the brisket hash. Both were very good, preferred the pretzel dish over the brisket. The brisket is in more of a gravy than BBQ sauce, and has a slightly bitter, smokey taste to it. I would prefer a more sweeter sauce, like the pulled pork is in. The chicken wings are tossed in a hot sauce, though you can request BBQ. We tried an array of their meats, our favourite being the pulled pork. I was disappointed in the brisket as it's no longer sliced but pulled now and as stated the sauce needs working on. The platters are huge and best suited for sharing. Their desserts are really good too, and again ideal for sharing. I had the brownie stack which was amazing. We really enjoyed our meal, however it is on the expensive side. Starters and desserts are £7+, mains start from around £13, £20+ for platters. We ended up taking some of our meat to go. They also have a coke freestyle machine so drinks are unlimited!! They have a selection of steaks I'd like to try next time I'm there. Enjoyable meal. Our server was very friendly but service is a little on the slow side.

The food is only better in the best restaurants in Italy and a third the price. Leonardo cooks everything himself, so if it's busy, get a bottle of wine, relax and expect a wait. We had the calamari, risotto maraiano, linguini and clam sauce and penne arabiatta, which my travel partner said was the best he'd ever had. The risotto was fantastic. The calamari was geared toward the English palate. Decent, but unimpressed. Bottom line, I would absolutely recommend Mona Lisa, even if you have to travel a bit out of the way.
