MASSIMO'S

BEST FOR A pizza-filled meal with the family. FOOD This is comforting Italian food with a variety from which to choose. Start with some spuntini (Italian tapas) – the deep-fried baby artichokes are absolutely moreish, served with a creamy pesto dip. For mains, choose from one of the many wood-fired pizzas or home-made pastas. All of the usual suspects feature, as well as some interesting options like spicy chilli con carne. The perfectly cheesy fior di latte margherita will please. On the pasta front, name the sauce and it's there. There's also a charity pizza and pasta offering where a donation will be given for each order. Order home-made Italian kisses to seal the deal. DRINKS Familiar favourites feature on the drinks list. Order the home-made limoncello.

SERVICE Friendly and laid back; don’t expect anything speedy. AMBIENCE A relaxed setting with indoor and outdoor seating. The woodfire oven completes the scene. (NB)
