NONNA LINA
BEST FOR Life-affirming pizza. FOOD Sardinian owner Antonella Scamuzzi and his passionate team turn out some of the best pizza in town. Salads are interesting: think artichokes, parmesan, caramelised red onions and roasted pine nuts; or a Caprese with fresh fior di latte. From there, your best bet is a glorious wood-fired pizza. The calzone is spectacular, whether it’s stuffed with taleggio and coppa or loaded with porcini and rocket. The traditional beef lasagna is thoroughly indulgent. Vegetarian? Try the version made with carasau bread, grilled aubergines and tomatello sauce. There’s also a range of fish, veal and lamb dishes. Finish with seadas nostras – this Sardinian speciality is a golden pastry filled with fresh mozzarella, preserved figs and macadamia nuts. DRINKS The decent wine list features some Italian grappa, and there are Woodstock Brewery beers on tap. SERVICE Friendly and relaxed. AMBIENCE Smart navy walls are hung with photos. Grab a seat next to the pizza oven in winter. (KP)
