    Self-service dining experience. You're given individual magnetic cards upon arrival to tally up your orders. Order & collect pizza, pasta, salads & drinks from the right counters. Pay on the way out

    Pizza caprese is amazing. Ask for mushrooms and extra chicken.. Just perfect! I tried also tiramisu. Quite good actually. Staff is nice. Worth it!

    Any pasta with seafood will be nice. Ask for a slice of warm bread to dip on olive oil + balsamic vinegar. Delicious.

    Spelt pasta is a great option! Complex carbs are healthy and it tastes amazing! Try it with seafood.

    The whole set up is great. You walk up and get a pasta or pizza and they make it right in front of you. Delicious food, great atmosphere.

    Not the typical Italian restaurant. There are many options in the menu and the prices are as expected. The whole concept is that you get fresh and quite tasty food, cooked right in front of you.

    Have Cognac tagliatelle - their best pasta dish. Massive portions! Also salads are great if you don't feel that much hungry.

    Kids pizza in a rabbit shape dough for £3.75. Thumbs up from the kids and I get a decent caffeine fix and Beef and Reef salad.

    Carry the charge card around to the various counters to order, then grab a buzzer and find a table while they make your food.

    Vegetarian options a bit 'basic', but they're happy for you to combine the raw ingredients to make something more tasty than the standard pasta + tomato.

    SHOUT WHEN ORDERING. The cooks either have poor English comprehension or can't hear with the noise. Am a regular here as a local, but order is incorrect 8 times out of 10.

    If you want shit pizza, you're better off calling Dominos. You know it will be substandard but at least they deliver to your sofa.Here you do all the work and the pizzas taste only of disappointment.

    Great concept: get a card when you arrive, then order at different counters for salad, pizza, pasta, drinks, etc. Seat yourself, then pay up at the end. Perfect for groups: no check splitting!
