Aliacci

Concentrating on your meal can be hard at Aliacci-you’re constantly craning your head to see what that other pretty dish is on the table next to you. The kitchen, which you can see from your seat, churns out dishes that are a significant cut above other comparable Italian joints. The pizza ‘bianco’ with potato, rosemary and mozzarella is punchy and bold, served as a generous portion. The deserts are deliciously sweet, but after such mains, you may need to share. The wine selection is impressive and many are available by the glass. The service can be a little disorganised but is charming all the same. If you are looking to be fed well for a low price in a buzzing atmosphere, this is the place for you.
