Summary
A “Jericho gem” for almost two decades, with “imaginative menus, excellent service and good outdoor space, including a recently expanded garden area”. “Italian-inspired cooking and a relaxed atmosphere make this a great location for families, with lunchtimes as good as evenings for ambience” – “my son far prefers the pizzas here to any you might get from a chain”.
Summary
A Jericho stalwart for more than 15 years – this “local Italian is always buzzing and reliable” for light lunches as well as more substantial meals. It now has a deli next door, and a garden terrace for al fresco summer dining.

For 31 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).
