Pizza
24 reviews mention it, and it’s made for sharing.
Pizza comes up in 24 Google reviews. It’s the obvious thing to share: when Asim Khawaja came with a group of 12 and said they’d be sharing some dishes, the staff brought a few extra plates without being asked twice. Garlic bread comes up in five reviews too.

Pasta
“Fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with care.”

Breakfasts
From 8am: the big breakfast, a full English, or the vegetarian one.
Cafe Italia opens at 8am, and the breakfasts have their own following. Mrs Armada says the big breakfast is fab; Jonathan Doel and a friend had the vegetarian and the meat full English and found everything cooked to perfection. Eggs benedict and pancakes come up too. Jonathan found it quiet at 9.30am and busy by 10.30. If you’re vegetarian, say so clearly when you order.
