Forget sourdough: the magic ingredient at this Neapolitan duo in Borough and St James’s is apparently pure Mediterranean seawater – whatever the formula, it results in notably tasty pizza, with a choice of Neapolitan and ‘Gourmet’ varieties (and there’s also a short selection of other main dishes, including pasta). “Service is very good”, too, and the ambience “enjoyable”.

“Bouncy, chewy, doughy deliciousness – the crust is to die for” at this pizzeria that uses seawater to make its dough. “The lovely little restaurant in Borough doesn’t look anything special during the day, but in the evening it’s very romantic with candles and soft lighting”. Some reckon “the food in St James’s is nothing like as good as the original in Borough”.

“Pizza with imported sea water from Naples! What’s not to like...?” ask fans of this studiedly authentic Neapolitan duo on Borough’s main drag and in St James’s Market. Portions are “generous”, too.

“Some really delicious Italian food using very good ingredients and a stylish, if low key, venue” – that’s the deal at this Neapolitan duo in Borough and the St James’s Market development. Pizza – using seawater in the dough – is a staple of the menu which also extends to pasta and other fare.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
