I'm sure if your taste in Italian food is limited to pizza then this place is fine but if your taste is more adventurous than a 5 year old you will be very dissapointed in this place. Outside of pizza there is hardly any choice and the few pasta dishes they do make they make pretty badly. I ordered a seafood pasta which was suppposed to be tomato sauce but the sauce had the viscosity of minestroni soup and tasted of nothing but black pepper. Really and truthfully this place should be advetised as a Pizzeria and not an Italian restuarant because it really isn't. I feel my review has been slightly over generous too.

I think this is now called or was called Franco's. Regardless, tight compact and intimate. Not much space but that enhanced the whole experience. Warm comfortable, great atmosphere with happy and pleasant staff. All very busy, with lots of 'happy' noise around the place. Conversations and laughter everywhere. Quick service for drinks with a lovely pizza option menu. I didn't look at the pasta or main menu although there were clearly daily specials available including scallops, gurnard, cod etc. Pizza beautifully prepared and cooked We had the Hawaiian and the seafood one (pizza di mare). Ample toppings and both were superb. I'd forgotten how good authentic flat based, oven baked pizza really is. Recommend this as a really lovely, slow paced in a busy restaurant experience.
