Food Quality
Pros:
"VERY DELICIOUS food."
"The best vegan pizza I have ever had it was amazing."
"Absolutely fantastic food! I forgot to take a picture of our starters, the vegan bruschetta with 4 cheese sauce and the melanzane di parmigiana, because the food was so good!"

Cons:
"Everything we ordered was stone cold except for one dish which was piping hot."
"Ambiance lacking."
"The portion was awfully small and I think they may have run out of salt in the kitchen?"
"Soup was hot oily water with greens in."
"It was loaded with chili peppers and not bell peppers. It was inedible."
"It was watery and gloopy. It was pretty much watery rice pudding with burnt sugar on top – not good at all."
"Never usually leave bad reviews but I felt I had to! Waiter was lovely and so was our starter (vegan prosciutto and gouda), but unfortunately my main was one of the worst pizzas I've ever had."
