In time-honoured Italian fashion, this trattoria is run by the whole Pasquale family, not just the Don, although they have been here so long that the service is more cockney than Chianti. In 40
years, this prime market-front site has hardly changed and the menu continues to sport the usual family-favourite pizzas (from four seasons to four cheeses), plus standard pastas (spaghetti
bolognese, spaghetti carbonara, spaghetti everything), backed by a focused Italian wine list offering just 15 options – all under £25. It’s hardly modish, but with big flavours and even bigger
portions at very reasonable prices, there are no complaints from the loyal customers. The continental street terrace is a popular choice with shoppers and tourists, while the nooks and crannies of
the atmospheric basement attract courting couples and families alike.
