We had garlic bread with mozzarella, and it was delicious. It had simple ingredients, but tasted very fresh; from the bread to the olive oil and garlic. We then order two different pasta dishes, which were very delicious! The penne aribiata was amazing. I love spicy food, and this dish was perfect. Dont go without trying the tiramisu! It's also amazing!

Renowned for offering tasty thin crust pizzas at a fair price, this chain seems to be pretty successful all over the UK. The service in this branch of Pizza Express is usually up to standard and sometimes even better than that, which makes it a reliable standby when wanting to go out for a meal somewhere local. It can be especially nice in the summer (that is, if the sun is actually shining) as there is an outdoor eating area at the back of the restaurant, making the outdoor dining experience far more enjoyable than the experience of eating outdoors practically on the pavement like in Zizzi, which is next door.

Diamond in the rough…read more  Stop right now! You've found what you were looking for - La Pizzeria Italiana is it! Hidden behind a rough council estate is a little piece of gastronomic paradise, it is truly the quickest way to let your tastebuds travel to Italy! We stumbled upon this gem when searching for means to satisfy our midweek pizza cravings, and boy are we lucky we were not put off by the location. You don't expect much of Catford other than below-average Fish and Chips or a kebab shop. La Pizzeria Italiana is in a class of its own! With it's crunchy calarimari starters (Lord have mercy, I wanted to order 10 portions of those), thin based pizzas, fresh linguini with smoked salmon and king prawns, or scallop and prawn ravioli in a vodka tomato sauce - anything you order, it *will* hit the spot! The very attentive owner (who used to be a customer for over 10 years before taking over the place) puts all fish dishes on the special board to ensure you get the freshest of ingredients daily - and once they're gone - they're gone! Service was lovely, food was exquisite, so much so we had to go back for a second visit in the same week, and this will be our regular Italian spot from now on, we could not fault it! HIGHLY recommend this little piece of flavour heaven! Accepts cards: yes including Amex Requires booking: best on weekends Recommendation: the specials board *Bill doesn't include service, so tip generously!*

Since moving to Bromley a couple of years ago, the local Zizzi has become a regular favourite for…read moremy husband and I, and we often take friends here who enjoy it as well. Zizzi serves a nice variety of Italian food, including pizzas which I've been told are good though I still haven't tried one (Pizza Express is right next door!). I've never had a bad meal here and the service is always very friendly. In fact, we've noticed that there is a fairly low turnover for staff at this place, which is a plus in my mind as a) it hopefully means they are treated well in their jobs and b) we become established "regulars" in their eyes which has made the service even friendlier. It may not be the swankiest of places, but if you want a decent Italian meal at a good price with good service, then I would definitely recommend this branch of Zizzi.

The decor is cute, quaint and traditional - there isn't a large amount of seating, but it's perfectly cosy and laid out. The rosemary foccacia was delicious (would have been nice to have a little dish to dip in olive oil/balsamic, but we made do with pouring it directly onto the board). The pizzas were very, very good indeed: tasty dough, nice thin base, and plentiful, good quality toppings. Aside from the fact that I don't live anywhere nearby, I'd definitely come back. A meal for two, including two large wines, two pizzas and the foccacia (which was easily big enough to share), came in at £37 before service charge, which I was pleasantly surprised by. Simple, traditional pizzas done well, and we left with a smile on our faces!

Napoli Pizza offers a great selection of toppings and some good BOGOF collections deals. I enjoyed a Mozzarella, Aubergine, Pepper and tomato pizza. The deep pan base was lovely and the mozzarella was lighter and creamier than your standard fare. Overall a good, superior pizza from the norm.

My first (and probably only) order from Pizza Napoli…read more I ordered 2 pizzas, 1 salad, and 3 dips... Not the longest order in the world. This was at 02:30 After being on the phone with the delivery guy for 15 minutes, trying to tell him how to get to the building (which is very simple to access, lit up and on the main road), I had to go out of my building and meet him outside as he could still not find the entrance. Turns out he was looking for the wrong address although the address was printed correctly on his note and on my order. But wait, there is more: he only gives me 2 pizzas and 2 dips and tells me he is in a hurry but that I should ask Pizza Napoli to take the money for the salad and other dip out of my next order... I asked him "what if I don't want to make a next order?" and he just says "Sorry mate..." and leaves. When I looked at the time it was 04:15, so almost 2 hours later... The pizzas were cold and the conclusion is one: Never again shall I order anything from Pizza Napoli...

Basil's gimmick is 50% off all food, all the time (their website lists the post-discount prices)…read more This means you can get a damn fine meal (main+drink) for a tenner and change. The only exception to this rule of thumb is if you're going for a steak, which is going to run you closer to fifteen quid. For a (delicious, well-cooked) steak. Bonkers. The menu is incredibly broad, and almost all of it is very good (avoid the overpriced Black & White and you're golden). The highlight is almost certainly the meatballs, which come as 10, 15 or 20 beefspheres. Beware, 20 can be challenging for those not strong of stomach. Basil has long been a regular lunchtime expedition at my place of work and I don't doubt it will continue to be for a long time. If I could take any restaurant with me anywhere I go, it would be Basil. Basil Basil Basil. Basil!

The steaks are half price apparently all the time and, while mine was slightly more cooked than I expected for medium rare, it was a good piece of meat. We took advantage of the nice selection of wines and split a cocktail. Decor was interesting with a projection of flames on the beaded curtain between the dining room and the pizza oven. Overall, very good value for money! Will update...

I have tried most things on the menu and have never made a bad choice. Their pizzas are spectacular - dough which is tasty, springy and light with a crispy bottom, absolutely perfect for dipping in your friend's spag bol! They make their own secret recipe tomato sauce, which is AMAZING. (Actually it's not a secret recipe at all - Raff will happily share how he makes it, but it sounds more intriguing as a secret!) They have a daily specials board that includes local seasonal produce in really imaginative dishes. I have gone into the kitchen to watch the chefs making a crab ravioli, moments before I ate it! (It was sublime!) Their desserts are too good. They have their regular items such as the tiramisu which melts in the mouth and the Italian ice cream that has real bits of strawberry, pistachio, vanilla seeds and chocolate in it. They also have special desserts that often are just too tempting - sticky toffee pudding, Eton mess with mango, interesting cheesecakes etc. The coffee is delicious and just perfect after a scrumptious meal there! The service is lovely and the atmosphere is down to earth, fun and friendly. I would urge you to go - if you go on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday you might want to book as it is extremely popular with locals.
