  • Pizza Paradiso

     
  • The restaurant, formerly known as Ristorante Olivetti, may have gone mainstream with its name, and expanded from being a one-off Soho stalwart to a six-restaurant chain, but it still has enough individuality and charm to knock the socks off most of its chain rivals. The small Southwark branch has the atmosphere of a traditional Italian trattoria (buzzy, with tightly packed tables and slightly frazzled staff), yet it’s the food that’s really authentic. Appealing seafood and meat mains prove there’s more to cheap Italian fare than pizza and pasta – though these are memorable too, with options going beyond (but including) the reliable favourites. Every neighbourhood should have one.

    As it is conveniently located, I have been to this place for more than 13 years, but it hasn't improved over the years. Last time it took them an hour to serve the first dish. After three hours we still hadn't received our desserts. When we suggested that they take desserts off the bill so that we could leave, they became extremely unpleasant. All that despite the fact that we had eaten for almost £800... To be avoided in the future!
