Previously a bank, the converted restaurant blends into the stunning architecture of the city, and the interior is a fresh, modern take on a rustic pizzeria. The space is quite big and there’s plenty of seating for any occasion from casual dates to hosting birthday parties for the kids. The décor is simple with wooden walls and furniture, white walls with cool artwork, and shelves lined with Italian wine and no logo beer.
The specials blackboard hangs proudly at the front of the restaurant, for patrons to peruse the daily highlights of the day, which can feature the likes of fresh British mozzarella, wild garlic pesto, and gorgeous red and yellow Italian tomatoes. The daily specials are changed according to the chefs and the best produce of the season.
Make sure to grab a seat ASAP, because the restaurant operates on a first come, first served basis. There are baby-changing facilities available, making this pizzeria a family-friendly option. There are even special kids menus, the “piccirillo” pizzas use exactly the same ingredients and are made in the same way, just smaller. There is disabled access and facilities are available.
