Rossopomodoro Camden Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Like all the branches of Rossopomodoro I've tried, consistently good authentic Neapolitan style pizza and bubbly Italian staff."
• "Food was nice and reasonably priced (we had the chicken pasta and margarita pizza)."
• "The buffalo mozzarella cheese, parma ham and bruschetta meal to share was the best I've tasted in England."
• "Food is always delicious & quickly served."
• "The pizzas were large and really tasty. Good thin bases with an excellent tomato sauce as a base for the different toppings."
• "The food was super delicious."
• "The pizza was freshly made, and so flavourful. The crust was crispy outside and soft inside…superb delicious."

Cons:

• "Pasta was not very nice. Pizza was soggy and the spinach topping on one pizza tasted off."
• "Pizza not cut and stone cold, some horrible green nondescript cold bitter leaves."
• "Service was super pushy, the waitress must have been on commission or something, the pizzas were under cooked and sickly."
• "The carbonara was good but the guanciale (pork cheek) was all fat (chewy, not crispy) which ruined it for me."
• "The pizza was not hot, the 'salsiccia' topping had not flavour whatsoever and they were very very tight with it."
• "Pizza was cooked so quickly at high temperature that the pomodoro was raw and cold, the cheese was still floating."
• "The pizza was really oily/greasy and tasted bad."
