Tasty Pizzas. Can't wait to try their other food 15th November 2009

After buying Pizza at Figaro's I could never go back to paying for the overpriced, low quality pizzas that I was used to buying from the pizza chains in Norwich. Especially my local chain store with it's regular offer of buy one nasty, cheap tasting pizza, and get an equally horrid one free, offers.

Figaro's is everything that these chains are not. You can just taste the difference in quality from the first bite. I only found out about the place relatively recently. My friend popped in there with a bunch of work friends late one night purely by accident. He told me about it and we popped back.

I had a fish pizza which was amazing. I can't remember the name of it but it had tuna, salmon and baby clams on it. It cost me half the price that I would have normally have paid at my local chain store but the pizza was far tastier.

Admittedly, It was slightly smaller than the kind you would get in a box from a chain but I'm not the type of person who choses to stuff my face with rubbish food at the cost of taste. The quality and taste more than makes up for an inch or two lost in size.

The service is also fantastic. The waiter comes over to your table with a giant pepper grinder and adds some to your pizza if you would like it.

I would much rather walk into the city and buy a pizza from Figaro's than ever buy from my local again. I hope I can persuade my friends and family to go to Figaro's to because I want them to experience this wonderful restaurant so they don't ever have to eat second rate chain pizza ever again either.

It's not been too busy on the two occasions I have visited so far but I can imagine it might be very popular in the evenings. I don't know if you have to book either as I have just popped in for a table and there has always been one free so far.

Highly Recommended 11th September 2008

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I have on many occasions.

I have eaten here many times, and it is where my husband proposed to me.

The restaurant apears to be quite small but they have a large upstairs area as well, which I believe is used for private parties.

The food is authentic italian, with mainly pizzas, pastas and salads. The service is always very good, and we are never kept waiting for too long.

I have tried many items from the menu, and there has been nothing I have disliked.

The only down side is as they only open upstairs for functions, you can sometimes be disappointed if you don't book in advance as the downstairs isn't huge.

Try it, I'm sure it won't disappoint...
