bluemonday Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 We went to the launch night and had some of the tasters which were really good. Not been for a full meal yet though.

AYBABTU Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 We went with our kids this Sat at teatime just after it opened (at 5 pm) and were lucky to get a table as its only small and they were pretty solidly booked. Family run place and - put simply - the best pizza I have ever eaten outside Italy. Perfectly cooked and very fresh dough & quality toppings. My Wife had baked pancake with mushrooms which was also excellent - light and delicious. The table next to us went for pasta dishes and they were very praiseworthy of those too. They also do other Italian starters and mains (which I will be testing next time) but a nice concise menu. Puddings looked yummy but as we were with the kids (and they were being pains) we decided to cut and run. Superb friendly atmosphere. Cant wait to get back and try some other things. 3 things.. 1 - Its BYO 2 - Make sure you book on a week-end , other people arrived on spec after us and they had to turn them away 3 - Be careful of your tongue on the pizzas - the pizza oven must be volcanic (and rightly so) but that means the pizzas are red hot when they come out..

Do they sell any drinks at all? Alcoholic or soft drinks? Thinking of trying here due to the good reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYBABTU Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks for your quick response - do you know if you can take bottled beer/lager or just wine? You're welcome. The table next to us had wine and beer. I am assuming no corkage charge since they dont actually sell alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYBABTU Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 we were charged corkage for both wine and beer I find it a little odd that you would start the thread asking for thoughts on the place and then not post a review when you must have been to know they charged corkage?
