The menu has a great variety, we can always find something that we like. I always start with the minestrone soup and then move onto one of many fantastic pasta dishes. The spaghetti Bolognese is hard to beat. The staff is well-trained and responsive. Most speak Italian, so prepare with a few phrases if you'd like. They tend to be very busy, so plan accordingly and call ahead if you're going to be there during the holidays or any busy tourist season. After dinner head out to a play for the perfect evening.

Lazeza is quite a nicely done out restaurant in Harrow's town centre. They have a lunch deal where…read moreany pasta is £6.50 and any pizza is £5.50. Not bad, especially considering some of the pasta dishes have a dinner time value of over £10 (a little steep, in fact). Portions are generous and the food is pretty decent. I enjoyed not only not being judged for having parmesan with seafood pasta (I haven't forgotten, Jamie's Italian woman), but actually being offered it. However, I kind of did that thing where you stare blankly at the waiter grating it until you realise he's not going to stop until you say so, therefore you end up with a Cheese Mountain. That's ok though, I love cheese. The pizza looked good and was enjoyed by my friend, our other lunchmate had a caeser salad which came with a big pile of chicken that she really enjoyed. What I liked about the menu is that although it's doing the standard pizza/pasta Italian fare, there were actually some fairly original pasta sauces. While it's not mind blowing it's a very nice place for lunch in Harrow.

Date-night-worthy Italian…read more My wife and I came here for an early dinner date while we were in London without kids and were impressed. We got the meatballs arancini balls on pea pesto, papardelle with wild mushrooms, rigatoni with basil pesto burrata and pistachios, and potted tiramisu. The standouts were the aracini, burrata, and tiramisu, but everything was quite good. The arancini were good for what they were but helped a lot by the being paired with pea pesto. I now wish arancini was plated on top of a counter-balancing sauce or food more often. The burrata was just fantastic and combining with pistachios and basil pesto brought the whole dish together in a way that really pushed things beyond the norm. The tiramisu came in a pot with a mint leaf sticking out the top. As with the other standouts, the tiramisu itself was good, but the whole presentation just really nailed things. The mint leaf went beyond decorative to actually boosting the whole dish. They also had a solid wine list and were willing to let us re-cork and take the rest of the bottle back to the hotel.

So you have to try the pasta. The waitress brought out some focaccia bread for us to try. It was delicious! We ordered some wine and calamari for starters. The calamari comes with 4 large rings. It was very good! The breading is light and it is cooked to perfection. For dinner I ordered the sea bass. It is a small fillet and comes with the skin still on, with a small side of grilled romaine lettuce and sits on a green sauce that looks like chimichurri, but doesn't taste exactly like it. My husband ordered the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. It was very good. The portions are small compared to most places. But, then you may have room for dessert! For dessert my husband ordered the lemon sorbet and I ordered the deconstructed lemon posset. It was delicious! I probably could have gone without it, as I was a little too full afterwards, but it was totally worth it! I highly recommend trying Morso. Get there early, or make reservations.

Well on my most recent trip this began to unravel as I had a great yet simple main and it was on the two course menu as well. It was just an Italian sausage pasta - which was very similar to an n'duja but not nearly as spicy. The ragu was great and I really like how they do their garlic bread now too. I've always rated the Pinner branch as one of the best of the chain, and now with the improvements to the menu it can only get better.

There are a number of Italian restaurants on High Street in Pinner, but this one has a light and airy atmosphere that set it apart from its compatriots. It looks to have been very carefully renovated, with a clean and organic look, and lovely bathrooms. We did not have to wait to be seated. My partner and I ordered a Three-Pastas-for-Two-People tasting menu, which came to 21 pounds even -- not bad considering that individual plates of pasta range from 7.5 to 11.5 and the term "tasting menu" is in a way decieving because all three pastas are full size. We selected the Penne Arrabiata, which was fantasticly savoury with Kalamata olives and capers and just the right amount of oil (often this dish is too oily!). We also enjoyed the special Penne with Zucchini and Fried Spinach Balls -- I know it sounds odd, but we were intrigued and this dish was surprisingly delicious! The Porcini mushroom pasta, while good, was outshone by the excellence of our two other selections. I'm Italian and cook my own Italian food, so my standards for Italian restaurants are unduly harsh, and I actually really enjoyed everything and would certainly return. I estimate only 15% of Italian restaurants I try reach this mark. Eagerly looking forward to dessert, my partner ordered an Italian hot chocolate which was excellent and on the lighter side with a good head of foam. I picked the compelling sounding Bicerin -- you recieve three little pots which contain espresso (your choice of beans), thick Floretine drinking chocolate, and cream. This was also my ploy to also try the Floretine drinking chocolate which my partner worried might be too intense, though fear not, because it was amazing and would be what I ordered next time. I'm not the biggest fan of say, Cafe Mocha, so this didn't radically change my mind about the combination of coffee and chocolate the way I hoped it would. But I did have fun playing with the ratios and experimenting, so I think it's an excellent way to see if anything could change your mind about that combination. From the bakery section, my partner had the deep chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream (you may add a scoop of ice cream to any bakery selection for I believe another 1 or 2 pounds) and I had a plum tart. I'm embarrassed to admit I find cream products like custard or, well, cream, slightly intimidating so I deeply enjoyed that the plum tart was simply plum and pastry without any sea of unknown gloopy dairy. The cake was deliciously chocolatey without being overwhelming, which was important since we were having warm chocolate drinks. The service, while initially seeming to be about one person understaffed (it's actually quite a large establishment as you start walking towards the back) bounced back as who I assume to be the manager stopped by our table and helped us with our desserts. He was very friendly and attentive. Technically, my review is a rounded up 4.5, because there are a few nitpicks. Everything is hard surfaces and hardwood, and the tables are packed quite densely in there, which means quite a bit of noise if the restaurant is busy. Secondly, while I believe the food is good enough to warrant the price, it doesn't give you the swelling feeling of "great value" -- just "fair value." They have special menus for things like Christmas, and also have a little shop up front along with their bakery that sells a variety of tasty tidbits and coffee. I'll definitely return!
