They have a nice balcony overlooking the river though

Ridiculously expensive, and not really that nice.

interestingly
a mate of mine went there with some Italians who were over for business, and they said it was the best italian restaurant they'd been to in this country.

Maybe that's just the one down here.

Maybe they'd only been to shit Italian restaurants over here?
There are fucking loads of them.

The best Italian I know is La Barca Ristorante behind Waterloo station

I've never been there. Thanks for the tip.
There's a great gastropub round there, The Anchor & Hope. Top game dishes etc.

The monopoly and chips is to die for.

You wouldn't have lasted five minutes in the war.
You couldn't 'escape from Colditz' and I'll bet you'd have drowned on a 'battleship'. You think you're some kind of 'mastermind' but I bet you if I gave you five dots you couldn't 'connect four'.

That's the game of life I suppose.

It's not cheap, but it is excellent
i had Pappardelle with duck in a cream and port sauce. it was so rich and so delicious

EDIT: looks shit and tacky from the outside, ignore that

The best italian I've ever been to was in Ormskirk
Very good offers, cheap drinks, and the garlic bread was the strongest garlic tasting thing I've ever had.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 16:57, Reply)

So your definition of a good Italian is as cheap as possible with strong garlic bread?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 17:00, Reply)

Of course, how Northern of me to dare to find somewhere cheap
How dare I be so impetuous to enjoy food that is tasty, enjoyable, and cheap. My god, I've seen the error of my ways, I shall relocate immediately to the most expensive italian I can find, and spend £100 on linguine.

You fucking spacker.

That's not what i said at all
Good food can be cheap, but the entire thrust of your post was that it was cheap and therefore good
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 17:08, Reply)

I know, just fancied ranting a little
No, I meant it was very good, and the fact it was cheap simply made it better.

The deal I remember was a sharer course of starters, followed by a meal each for £10.50 for 2 people. The garlic bread was very strong, and absolutely fantastic.
