What it is: Well-established Italian chain with five island locations beloved by expats for reliable dine-in and speedy delivery. They specialise in wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and distinguish themselves by making in-house cheese and cold cuts.
Why do we love it: Da Moreno nails the price-to-quality ratio with generous toppings and consistent execution. The calzone alla bruno (B450) packs Parma ham, buffalo mozzarella and rocket into simple perfection while the pizza prosciutto e funghi (B290) delivers reliable satisfaction. Don't overlook their spaghetti alle vongole (B280) – tender and juicy clams in white wine sauce that rivals the pizza offerings.
Time Out tip: When full, stock up on authentic Italian essentials before leaving. Their homemade cheese and quality cold cuts are available for purchase on-site to create your Italian feast at home.
