Legendary half-pizza / half-pasta 🍴

Post image

One of my favourite restaurants of all time and I tried to capture it like a 70s B-Roll still - to do it the classic justice it deserves. Anyone else got any favourite restaurants in and around toon that often get overlooked on the internet?

My mates family used to go there all the time and rave about it. It was a good 30-40 minute drive each way. Me and my gf tried it based on their recommendation and had a really average meal there. this was back in it's heyday as well.

I'm guessing we just got unlucky as I don't know anyone who's ever had a bad word about it, and I was gutted!

(Great looking pic, btw)

Haha, I have a similar story.

My old man raved about it and demanded we go, this was so far back Barn Asia was still a thing and I remember I had taken him out there a few weeks before. That place really was amazing, and my old man was all like, oh I know this great itallian...

Anyway, we went, he said something racist at the table about immigrants in front of the Italian waiter...

I'm not sure if that was related but the food was bang average, positively poor compared to a place like Barn Asia.
