Resto 34 Rocca, South Kensington
It wasn't expensive for this area and it was strongly populated by students so they're obviously catering for a particular market. But not a market that is overly particular.
Resto 31 Pizza Sophia, Bloomsbury
A quick family meal before an aborted trip to view the Banshee of Inish-thing dinner at Sophie’s turned out to be the highlight of the evening (Marseilles, disappointingly, failing to beat Spurs later on). It’s a simple enough offer but that’s what we wanted. A better than usual salad went alongside a shared Calabria pizza…
Resto 23 The Dusty Knuckle, Harringay
It was one of those Saturdays where you’ve been at work all day and you can’t be bothered to go out anywhere in particular, so we stayed local. The Dusty Knuckle is a recent harbinger – along with the more established and quite hilarious ‘Local Shop’ – of the (semi) g************n of Harringay. While one…
Retro Resto #4 – Pizza Hut, Paris
Those of you who under the age of 40 who have seen Murder on the Orient Express would imagine that any travel to Paris in pre-Eurostar days involved personalised leather suitcases, glamorous travelling companions and silver service dining on a sleek machine-missile headed straight to the heart of lovetown. And murder.
Retro Resto #3 – Romanas, Ferryhill
It's often the case that it's only when you move away from a place that you appreciate the finest things about it, which until then you'd either been ignorant of, or had taken for granted. Such was the case with Romanas in Ferryhill.
Resto 15 La Saporita, Stroud Green
At about twenty quid a head with service I don't know why you'd go anywhere else for trad Italian in this neck of the woods.
Resto 39 Brooklyn Pizzeria, Bastille
Great pizza, bored staff, tedious customers.
Resto 34 Rosso Pomodoro, Covent Garden
Good pizza, proper Neapolitan fried stuff and a bit of a rant about paying for stuff in the National Gallery that you can usually see for free.
Resto 24 Dear Pizza, Highbury
Resto 24 #dearpizza, #Highbury An excellent awning makes al fresco dining in the heat tolerable. Good #pizza and friendly service are a hit. As is the #estorick show of #campari related material. A perfect one-two in #Islington. #food #london
Resto 23 Firebrand Pizza, Lisson Grove
in Lisson Grove for a rather underwhelming production of Medea we wanted quick eats out of the sun. Firebrand Pizza looked a good bet. It’s a shady room with a big window to watch the folks of the Grove go by. The menu is standard pizza and starters so went for a platter of meat…
