I've walked past here several times and it always seemed closed. Ah...so that's why! Will endeavour to catch it open some day...

...now that Malletti has opened in Clerkenwell. Hurrah!

I love Malletti and have been going to their Noel St branch in Soho for years. It's the real deal, a proper pizza bar with a somewhat overwhelming variety of lovely thin based pizzas. They're fantastic quality and a real treat. There's also calzone, foccaccia sandwiches, risotto and pasta of the day. Today it was orechiette with sausage, I really found it difficult to choose. If you find yourself in that situation and you can't choose - go half|half and have them both.

It's very good value, a decent serving of pizza costs £3.50, calzones £4 and pasta and risotto from £4.50. Have a look at my photos and tell me that's not a good deal!

This branch is slightly bigger and has more room to sit down. It's a casual dining experience and very friendly. It's also super quick and perfect for lunch. Be warned, the Soho shop sells out and closes early every day, I expect this will be the same once people start to discover this place.
