Excellent pizza , and the starter sharing board was delicious , so much better than American style pizza , proper taste of Italy
We went there for an early Valentine's day meal due to work patterns. The staff were so attentive and even stayed open until we wanted to leave. We didn't know they were closing. The food was exquisite. Reasonably priced. If I had any room left I would of had dessert. But as it was we had a sharing board, 2 mains, a bottle of wine and two beers. Would highly recommend going and giving it a go. We will be going back. Thank you ladies
What can I say. One of the best pizzas I have ever had the pleasure to eat. The chicken speciality dish my wife had was excellent. The staff and wine were spot on. Thanks for a lovely evening.
Authentic freshly baked pizza and Lovely lasagne. Friendly chef. Will enjoy going again.
Lovely little (very little) Italian serving fantastic pizzas and calzones and a selection of other dishes. We went on a busy Saturday night and had a great time. Really interesting pizza toppings! I recommend the Pizza do Putecaro for a taste sensation! Lots of Gluten-free options too. Bravo 👌
I usually don't leave any reviews but I tried this restaurant today. I ordered pizza bufala. It was the best pizza ever! I definitely recommend this restaurant.
