Rossopomodoro

A friend recommended this place to me after my harping on about how good the pizza is in Italy when compared to the stuff we get served up in London.

I've been to plenty of Italian restaurants, but none have really captured the way that the Italians do it in their homeland. Until now.

This place was a breath of fresh air. The staff were reasonably helpful in the main and the menu was a sight to behold, all manner of dishes available.

You can see the chefs at work (with a very impressive mosaic-tiled pizza oven the centrepiece) and the place on the whole was very, very clean.

As is usual when I visit a place like this for the first time I opted for the four cheese pizza and my friend the margherita, because if they can't do the basics right then what hope do the others have?

The pizzas were delicious and just like those from Italy. It is the fist time I have tasted what I consider to be an authentic Italian tomato sauce on a pizza (on the margherita only, the four cheese has no sauce, nor should it do) in London.

The cost of the food was very reasonable indeed, although I found that the wines were a little on the expensive side (£25 for a bottle of average prosecco!) but on the whole I would say it is a reasonably priced restaurant.

All in all though, a nice lunch was had and I shall be returning in the not too distant future.
