We went there after typical lunching hours and found the place still pretty busy with folks cycling in and out. I heard that the line goes out the door at dinner, so I figured we'd try it out. The huge pane glass window allows ambient light in, then it's classically lit on the inside with yellow lighting to give that Lady and the Tramp effect. :) I ordered one of the daily specials, Risotto Italia, that had diced chicken, slices of ham, onions, mushrooms all in tomato sauce. It was fine, but a little heavy on the sauce. The sauce was good, but it buried the risotto. My dish wasn't nearly as good as Liz's Tortellini Italiana, which came in a meat sauce under baked cheese. The consistency of the crusting cheese was great, and the meat sauce was generous with the meat. We also tried the Bruschetta Tricolor which was a great balance of a caprese salad over a fresh bread and pesto... it was really good. I really enjoyed by visit to Casa Italia. It was very well priced, and I can see why its popular. You get a lot for a little... even with the picodillo (small) portions. Reservations need only be made for groups greater than 6. Give 'er a try!

This place is excellent. I was there back in March, visiting N.Wales, and Liverpool was the last…read morestop. Because my bf and I weren't familiar with the area, I just googled "gluten-free food" and this restaurant came up and looked pretty positive. By the time we walked there, it was very busy. And so incredibly lucky, as the host said we were the very last walk-ins they could accept, loud with clamour and guests talking over each other. I'm sorry they had to turn away the one other couple behind us, but I was scared too because I wouldn't know where else to get allergy sensitive food. The thing is though, if you do have food allergies here, everyone always tells you that you have to speak up about it every time. I guess I didn't because I always figured I'd just work around my problems. So my host/server always told me I needed to mention that to all the people coming to take my orders. I convinced my boyfriend to try some of the pate -- which came with a piece of gf bread and cucumbers, he didn't like it, but I enjoyed it. It was smooth and creamy -- but also, I felt that I needed more salt as the flavor was semi-bland too. Adding in more salt or pepper isn't really an issue with me, that's why they put those on the table. But bf got some really cheesy lasagna and I got a gluten-free pizza. The crust was thin and had the right texture of chewy-ness and flavor. It was incredibly delicious and delightful. It also took awhile longer, I'm sure the chefs have to be very careful about food contamination, which is why you have to constantly remind servers about your allergies so they can relay it to the back. Which reminds me, by the end of the night, I ordered a basic vanilla gelato. I thought this probably doesn't have any wheat in it! So I ordered it with one of the circulating servers, but our host at the front came over (I wish I remembered his name :( ) came over and took the bowl away because I forgot to tell this server I'm gluten-sensitive. So my bad! But it took so long for the gf gelato to come out. But it was one of the best vanilla gelato's I've ever had. Like nothing compared to any I've tasted in California. I'd definitely recommend this place. Staff was very attentive and food was excellent.

The gluten free pizzas are alright, it's difficult to make it taste good, but the toppings were nice. The calzone was perhaps doughy, but the filling was a pleasantly spicy njuda, and there was an adequate amount. The staff were kind and jovial, and very happy to do what they could to make our stay more comfortable. There was an old glass with some water still in it. Perhaps water accidentally added, perhaps a glass leftover from a previous diner, but they were quick to replace it. Overall I would not say it is worth the price, but it is perfectly fine.

Hello, my name is Jemma, and I'm a Pizza Express addict. There, I confessed, now give me a break. I…read morelove Pizza Express. I'm usually a regular at the Albert Dock branch because it's more convenient for me, but I do really like this branch. It's located inside an old bank, which makes you feel like you're getting a side of heritage with your pizza. However, as an addict, I would give up the heritage for aside of garlic dough balls! Obviously, the menu is the same in every Pizza Express but if you're a virgin (unlucky you) I'll advise you on my favourites. Here goes: for a starter I would get the dough balls every time - boring maybe but that way you get some yumminess but still have room for the next two courses! Gem (another Pizza Express addict - maybe they should start up rehabilitation?!!) would always, without fail, pick the bruschetta, which does look delicious but I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes. For the main, we would both have Pollo de Astra on the Romana base (a fancy term for extra extra thin).... it is literally heaven on a 14" plate. Admittedly, I've only had dessert once due to the excess gorging on the starter and the main - once we managed to squeeze in a chocolate fudge sundae type thing which really did finish me off. It was worth it though. Note: if you're going out with a group, or even the two of you, always check the internet for vouchers as you can often get 50% off, or main meals for £1 etc. which really makes a difference to your bank balance!

Pizza Express delivered on every count.

When her pizza came it was loaded with veg and looked ridiculously tasty. I can't get enough of pizza express the cheesier and meatier the better. They have some gorgeous starters too so make sure you're ravenous before you arrive! It's even better if you remember to bring the online vouchers. 50% off! Ker-ching. Happy customers all round.

I proceeded to have six or seven more over the course of my visit, which given I was only there for another three days was probably far too many. I'll admit that I was fully expecting an inferior product from Ditsch, a pale and stale parody of the lovely pretzels I had put into my face in Germany but to my surprise they have perfectly recreated the soft, warm tangly bread of my fond memory. They also sell some less appetizing foodstuffs; congealing pizza slices and sweet versions of pretzels (which were like big, toughened donuts and not all that great) but for pretzels I dare you find better in Liverpool. Well done Ditsch.

In fact, it was another German classic of pretzel shaped bread which I bought for just £1 and it was sure yummy. I would take the pizza flavour any time.

The pretzel could have been warmer but it was just as nice cold. I would definitely go back again to try some of their toasties and flatbread pizzas, especially the chicken curry flavour which sounds so mouth-watering!

I like weird stuff on my pizza though, as you may have discovered after reading my Shiraz review. APS does 18 inch pizzas with every slice a different topping, if you so choose. When ordering with my mate, he will only ever eat margarita pizza, so I end up only have half a pizza with weird stuff on, but still. I'm talking parma ham, rocket, brie, anchovies....all sorts. And those four slices are practically a meal. In fact, I'm sure if you thought about it and chose your toppings carefully, those four slices would count as a balanced meal. My favourite is the meal deal: two garlic breads, two bottles of coke and and 18 incher for around £14. When you consider standard pizza delivery places charge that much for a bog standard pizza, its pretty good. And once you've phoned up once to order, they save your number so that next time you call, they already know what you want and where. I'm impressed by that. APS I love you.

They had some very interesting menu options including gluten free pizzas. My wife ordered something that I had never seen offered in a pizza restaurant, a half calzone half pizza pie. It came out piping hot and it looked delicious to the eye but it was even better in the mouth. The crust was perfectly cooked with a bit of chew and complimented the spicy salami inside and the ham and mushrooms on the outside. It's definitely unique and if someone's smart they should copy it. I ordered the nduja pie with the black crust. I can say it too was different than any crust I've eaten and it did not disappoint in terms of flavor. Salty, a little spice wonderfully cheesy and baked to perfection. Service was fast and friendly servers made this a memorable pizza stop.

Gusto…read moreis located on the Albert Dock in the centre of Liverpool city centre and is a really trendy up market restaurant with a fantastic buzz about it. Serving up classic Italian dishes such as carbonara, lasagne and ravioli to name but a few, this place has a really good feel about it. The staff are friendly and professional throughout and the food is fantastic. All food is cooked fresh to order so there may be a little bit of a wait but trust me the wait is well worth it. The portion sizes are good and don't leave you feeling that you've eaten half a whale! In fact I'd go as far to say they are just right. I can polish off three courses no problem. Calamari to start, followed by classic spaghetti carbonara and an excellent creme brûlée to round off the meal. They also have a fantastic cocktail bar which shelves the best pina colada I have ever tasted. You wouldn't want it before a meal though because it is quite heavy and could fill you up quite easily. They do serve a fantastic mojito and a great daiquiri if that's your thing? Now you will have to book to get in here. You'd be very lucky to get a table if you just walk in off the street without a reservation. That to me is a sign of a good restaurant though. Saturday nights are usually rammed as you would expect but I'd still recommend booking a table mid week if your planning to go there? I'd very much recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good Italian food in a fresh vibrant environment and likes a drink or two.
