Maybe the best Italian dinner I've had in the UK, and as a snobby Londoner it causes me physical…read morepain to write that. Stuzzi is a too-good-to-be-true trifecta of wonderful food, excellent service, and reasonable pricing. The menu is small sharing plates, as many places are these days. With a group of four we got to have quite a lot of that menu. The tagliatelle in ox cheek ragu was a marvel of simplicity. The arancini completely changed my mind about a dish I've always considered an overrated way for a restaurant to dispose of extra risotto. The wine and cheese were superb, chosen for us by the charming wait staff. The digestif menu features a small but punchy selection of grappas -- never a given at British Italian restaurants and always appreciated by me.

I've been to this place a number of times and on each occasion it was excellent…read more Very friendly staff who are happy to tell you about any of the food on offer, a cosy and relaxed atmosphere with some pretty good music playing, great food and just an all round enjoyable and informal eating experience. They also have a nice selection of Italian deli bits and bobs for you to take away with you. We found some of the charcuterie and cheese impossible to resist. The idea is to order a few tapas sized portions of various dishes and then mix and match with your eating partners - and it works a treat. Not quite full? Order something else - the kitchen is efficient and we have never waited too long. Now that we are semi-regulars the staff have got to know us to some extent. I am very much into my wine and I take some care when ordering a bottle any place I go. At Stuzzi when they ask me what I want to drink I now just ask them to 'bring me something interesting' and that is exactly what they do. They have never let me down. Every time the wine that arrives at the table is well selected - delicious and not unreasonably priced. This is a restaurant that wants people to enjoy the wines on offer so the prices are sensible - in so many places these days the price of a decent bottle is ridiculous, but here you will find the opposite. If you want fine dining and silver service that's not what this place is about. It's too laid back for that and it's now what they set out to do. Instead you are served excellent food in an unhurried environment, and that vibe always seems to be found at every table. Fun, tasty, easy.

I grew up in one of the smallest cities in this fair land, Ripon. It's a city because of it's fine…read morecathedral rather than anything to do with size or in fact, culture - including good places to eat. There are few, but these are few and far between. Sorry, Ripon, you know you're dear to my heart. Last week I decided to head back for the night, to the place which made me the pizza lover I am today. For the pizza which set my taste buds alight all those years ago. It's called the diavolo. And these days I get it folded. And extra spicy. WIN. Prima, or Primas as it's known across, um, Ripon, seems to go in and out of fashion with every season. Sometimes it'll be rammed, others you'll be the only couple/group in there. Still, mind, Franco - the friendly patron of the place - will treat you like kings and queens. The restaurant's worth a visit just for him alone and his enthusiasm, whether false or genuine. If you're ever in town. I mean city. Then go find Prima. And have a diavolo. Extra spicy.

What a shame, Prima used to be such a treat. There always used to be a warm friendly welcome…read more Whatever dish one would like the chef to alter (or indeed create), was not only never a problem, it was embraced, created, served and eaten with passion, taste and respect. Now, Everything seems such a stress. There always used to be a bit of a language barrier, which had never been an issue, more of a thing to enjoy with the host and the party. But now, it all seems quite awkward and false. Without going into great detail, I visited Prima three times over the last six months (In my 30 years I have eaten there scores of meals there, all of which I had a very very pleasant experience). The last three times I have experienced a very rude reception, an even ruder waiter, and very poor service, and quality of food. In all, a very sad experience. What used to be a lovingly established place to meet and eat will, no doubt, turn into another empty commercial premises, due to apathy.

Partner had a "caesar salad", which also was quite large, consisted of chicken ham, whole anchovies, over greens with a mayonnaise dressing on the side (which didn't add much). For mains we had eggplant over spaghetti, and pasta arrabiata-- both of which were quite large and quite flavorful. We then shared toffee cake and ice cream which resulted in an uncomfortable waddle home. Oh yes-- my prosecco and raspberry liqueur drink was large as well. Worth the money--especially if you don't over order like we did.

La Piazza is a nice restaurant in a nice location, with reasonably good service…read more Having dined here several times since it first opened, I would say that broadly the food is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. In short, perfectly fine, but not spectacular. I have personally had pizza here twice, and both times have found it dry and considerably lacking in both tomato and cheese - and therefore taste. The best item on the menu used to be a vegetarian goulash, though sadly this was taken off at some point last year.

It was a cozy Italian spot and the service was wonderful. We started off with some focaccia and olives and they bring out a really nice olive oil with balsamic. Then we had the gamberoni picante which came in a lovely red sauce. For our mains we had the seafood casserole and the ribeye. Both tasted really nice and we were pretty happy with the experience. Definitely the kind of place you go for a casual dinner or late night bite.
