Thank God for Sole d'Oro, part of the Saracino pizza chain, authentic Neapolitan pizza with oomph! I ordered my usual, 4 seasons, which appeared as if by magic from the wood fired oven within minutes. Thin crispy bubbly base, generous tasty toppings plus fresh basil leaves just picked from the garden. Belly full, smile back on my face, who cares about the weather now? Italians Do It Better :)

Unlike the staff at nearby Rimini the staff are polite and friendly..... Had great food here tonight, the veal and aubergines with cream and truffle olive oil was like a coronary sent from heaven. Will have to jog twice as hard to shift the inches the food has added to my belly My girlfriend had the seabass with tomatoes...which was perfectly balanced... not too sweet like tomato sauces can so easily be.... The fish perfectly cooked...but it would have been nicer if the skin was just that bit crispier The veg was great, luckily my girl was kind enough to take my beans and give me her broccoli. The bread which was homemade, was wonderfully nutty especially when I asked it to be toasted, and absorbed the flavours of the both dishes beautifully Looking forward to coming back.... The best Italian food I have had since I ate in Manhattan.. This place is a massive improvement from what used to be here before... hopefully this place is here to stay Thanks to Louis and his staff for having us....

Overall it is a really good restaurant and I always recommend it to my friends.

My friend and I enjoy going to new restaurants and not knowing what to expect. The menu was enticing so we thought why not!! I ordered delicious musses for my starter and a huge spinach and ricotta pizza for my main. We were so impressed by the price - so reasonable! The staff were ever so friendly and helpful as we wanted to add few ingredients to our pizzas. Very Italian decor with the Mediterranean terracotta yellow beams and flax wood tables and chairs. Setting the scene! Great place for groups, families and friends. Atmosphere is warm and relaxed and the price points are fantastic considering the amazing quality and taste of the food... Check it out!

Nasty. Didn't…read moreexperience bad service like the last reviewer. In fact the initial service was great. Seated and immediately given olives. Attentive waiter, took order.... garlic bread pizza was great.... then the main courses came and it all went rapidly downhill. All the food tasted "past its shelflife". Clearly cooking from frozen or with ingredients that have been hanging around far too long. The lasagne, spaghetti bolognaise and pasta seafood all tasted old, a bit rancid and bland. The lasagne I ate, I was hungry but actually didn't want to eat too much for fear of getting food poisoning. The pasta was a bit gooey as it was old and already decomposing. This restaurant is terrible, I will never go back.

Surprisingly considering the day and time, the restaurant was almost full - particularly larger groups and families. For starters we chose the calimari - and probably one of the best calimari dishes I've had. The Peroni batter was incredibly crispy, teamed with a tangy tartare sauce. The portion was big enough to share between two (although so good, I'd recommend you get one just to yourself!) For my main course, I chose the Pollo Alla Diavola - pan-fried chicken cooked in wine in a tomato sauce with chilli, garlic and crushed herbs. Served with chips and vegetables, it was a great alternative to the classic pizza and pasta dishes - a generous sized piece of chicken with more than enough sauce to have enough leftover for chip-dipping. I also had a little taste of the (pretty huge!) Pide Calzone - also divine, with loads of filling encased in tasty dough. Despite the amount of customers, we were definitely impressed with the service speed and the friendly waiting staff. Delicious food and and a vibrant atmosphere as well as being well-priced (we had a starter, olives, two mains and two soft drinks for £25), this is definitely a hotspot for Leytonstone diners who love cooked-with-love Italian feasting.

The deep red painted walls are filled gold framed mirrors and photos, giving a cosy atmosphere. The restaurant was almost empty, which was good as we were very loud! The staff were friendly and attentive, although there was the occasional lapse of memory when requests were made for dressings or drinks. I started with avocado, tomatoes and mozzarella. It needed extra dressing - requested olive oil but it never arrived. I followed with sea bass and artichoke - the fish was surprisingly fresh. Finished with Lemon Tart and raspberry sorbet. - The tart tasted as if it had been pre-made and the sorbet was sweet, but nice. Group wine choice was Rioja @ £22.90, which I felt was a bit steep. My cut of the bill came to £28.00, which I guess wasnt too bad. All in all, it was an OK choice for a group do, but I it's not going on my bookmark list.

It has a great upbeat atmosphere, with great staff, staff that are so sure of themselves that on every visit, a waiter has tried to seduce someone on my table. It is a typical Italian restaurant, with plenty of space and a decent menu. I love my seafood and for a starter I have always had the seafood salad, not because I am trying to keep to a regime, but simply because it is delicious. On my most recent visit earlier this year, I had the speciality, which is Mamma's Meatballs and pasta, and I highly recommend it. The tiramisu is great too. I actually just got an invite for a friends birthday there for next weekend, and that is hat reminded me to tell you about Fantozzi. I might try a different mains, but know I will be having that seafood salad and tiramisu. Just to add, if you o plan on going to Fantozzi, an it is over the weekend, you better book, otherwise you will definitely have a real long wait. It is a very popular restaurant, and deservedly so.

You walk into this loud and chatty room full of people laughing, drinking and eating wholesomely. It's a wide space but nonetheless, rather crowded and always full on weekends. The food, I have to say is a good menu. The taste is also good. I couldn't say brilliant but for the very decent price, it's not bad at all. The pizzas are yummy and have a good variety as well as the pasta dishes. The main courses include veal escalopes which in my opinion is rather tasty. Moving onto the service.. Very Italian. Quick, chatty and all have Italian accents. They're very rush rush but is understandable due to the busy service. All in all, a great restaurant to bring friends for a fun chat on both weekdays or weekends. Expect loudness.
