This is a lovely Italian restaurant, with a superb happy hour offer, on pizza and pasta…read more The pizzas are always prepared fresh, and are served piping hot. They are very generous servings, and highly tasty. We always come here if we're going for an Italian meal, and it has been a long favourite with our family. I believe it has recently changed hands, but I have not been since then, but I'm sure this won't take away from the quality of the pizza and pasta, and the very friendly and helpful nature of the staff. The only negative is that it can sometimes take a while to catch a waiters attention, to get that drink you want, or even to get the bill. But the surroundings are so nice, it doesn't matter.

I have a cardiac condition, which he provides a medically necessary service for. The blonde woman at the front took one look at me, smirked, and said, "We're fully booked." There were only three tables filled and the rest of the room was empty. It was humiliating. Absolutely the rudest service I've ever received at a restaurant. If you are handicapped, avoid this restaurant at all costs. They will treat you like you're garbage.

The restaurant has a strong family feel to it and this helps create a strong and friendly atmosphere which ultimately creates a better eating environment. The décor is very warming and although small inside it is very cozy and ideal for family meals or even dates or get together with friends. They offer a massive selection of Pizzas so if you re anything like me you will not be short of choice. The menu is quite extensive and I am happy to say that the prices are quite reasonable. If you are in the area pay it a visit

I would say this place is mainly for adults, its idea for a meal before a night out and even for dates. They offer a vast selection of authentic Italian cuisine as well as many fine wines from across Italy. When eating here you really do get an authentic feel. From the outside of the restaurant you can see that it is going to be a quality Italian restaurant. The restaurant really looks the part. They offer quite a lot of specials and the quality does not seem to be compromised by the price. I would pay this place a visit if you are in the area.

I didn't think my meal was anything to rave about, but I'm willing to give another Pizza Express a go before making up my mind. I started with the olives marinate and caesar salad, both of which were a bit lacking in flavor. I was particularly disappointed with the salad, which was extremely bland. If the dressing did in fact include anchovies, they added very little, and the three anchovies strewn about my plate did not give the salad a much needed boost. The margherita pizza was perfectly fine, though I prefer mine with white cheese and much more basil. Still, the pizza had a lovely, crisp crust and was cooked well. I would likely order something else off the menu if given another chance, however, as it simply wasn't a spectacular main. The restaurant is housed in an old bank a few blocks away from the train/bus station, which makes it very convenient. The decor was plain - white walls with simple artwork and little else - but certainly better looking than most pizza restaurants in the area. The crowd was fairly young: a few families, a handful of couples, and a few groups of teenage girls celebrating their exam results.
