The pepperoni is a classic crowd pleaser, and there is house made pasta on the menu too. Oh, and did we mention there is a vanilla panna cotta that is to die for?

Antica Pizzeria e Cucina

Serious about tradition, Antica’s wood oven pizzas are prepared and cooked in true Neapolitan style. Their motto of ‘simple, beautiful, Italian food’ is observed in the dough of their soft, pliable base that, when loaded with toppings and fired up, literally melts in the mouth. Both venues mix a contemporary design fitting perfectly with the Mediterranean feel, so the second you enter you'll feel like you've been transported to the middle of Italy. Made rich with flavour, the margherita, capricciosa and diavola always go down a treat, while the more indulgent quattro salumi is impossible to resist. Torn between the choice of toppings? Indulge yourself, opting for the mammoth metre long pizza and pick up to three toppings from the menu.

The traditional menu doesn’t stray far from the classics, choosing a fine selection of pizzas and doing them extremely well.
