Hmmm..... I think old age is catching up with me. I thought I had reviewed this place awhile ago…read morebut not according to Yelp! These premises has been an Italian restaurant as long as I can remember. It used to be Pizza Piazza but ever since Greg Proops, the Canadian comedian called it Pizza Disaster when he was performing at Epsom Playhouse, I always had it in my mind as Pizza Disaster! I'm not sure if Greg Proops' off the cuff comment may have contributed to the demise of Pizza Piazza but Sicily has taken over and lent an upper class air to this end of Epsom's own restaurant row. The food is classical Italian. I didn't spot anything particularly Sicilian but there is a wide range of pasta, pizzas and cooked meats and seafood. As I was going salsa dancing afterwards, I didn't want anything too heavy. Hilary, my salsa dance friend and I split one of their sharing antipasto plates, which had butterfly king prawns, deep fried squid rings, smoked salmon on toasted ciabatta topped with mascarpone, prawn cocktail, breaded crab claws served with spicy tomato dip and tartare sauce I then had a spaghetti carbonara, which was nice except for the price (£8.95). Hilary was happy with her seafood risotto, which was generous with the seafood. The service was excellent - efficient and very friendly. Sicily is now probably the best Italian restaurant in Epsom. It is pricey and will therefore sadly remain a special occasion type of place but you do get your money's worth.

So how should you judge a restaurant? Purely on the quality of the food or whether they delivered a…read moregood experience? I went to Prezzo for a colleague's leaving do tonight. Prezzo is an expanding chain of Italian restaurants, which is aiming at the slightly higher end of the market with some swanky decorations. The prices had always struck me as being on the high side - £8.95 for spaghetti carbonara - compared to other Italian chains. However, my colleague had printed out vouchers for everyone's use, which offered a starter, a main and drink for £10. There was a choice of 4 starters and about 6/7 mains. Well, the food was distinctly average and at the risk of being wrong, I suspect the food is largely pre-cooked and reheated or re-constituted on-site. The pizza bases were a bit soggy and my mozzarella in carozza looked a little too perfect to have been produced from scratch on-site. My spaghetti carbonara was nice if a little light on the pancetta. So, 3 stars really for the food. However, with the reduced price and the fact that the serving staff coped very well indeed with our big group with the food arriving quickly and together, I feel obliged to raise my review to 4 stars. Well done especially to the manageress in charge who led from the front and kept her staff well motivated by leading by example. I'm not sure I would return just for the food at full price, especially with other Italian dining options close by but the staff did work hard to make sure we were well looked after tonight.

I ordered the lasagna for lunch. There was not much pasta, mostly sauce and cheese. It was crazy hot, be careful not to burn your mouth. The salad that I had was a little on the bitter side. Overall a reasonable place to grab a decent lunch at a respectable price. What did I learn today? The best negotiations occur during the lunch hour!

It is really expensive for the kind of fare they serve, the menu is really limited and not even imaginative, and does not at all reflect real Italian food - seems a bit corrupted to suit local tastes.
