4 /5 Bit Of A Voyager: My partner and I paid a visit to Prezzo on Northumberland Avenue - a bright, contemporary space whose understated charm reveals itself in small details: the orange flicker of the wood stone pizza oven, the sprawling indoor tree, the hum of conversation that never strains to be heard - they all add up to a warm and convivial atmosphere.
Between us, we ordered the Pepperoni Pizza, the Chicken & Peppers Pizza, Truffle Fries, and Chilli Garlic Cheese Fries. The pizzas were doughy and generously topped, the fries indulgent but somewhat predictable. Each dish was competently prepared though none, in truth, were particularly memorable.
Service was friendly and accommodating, the staff struck a good balance between attentiveness and ease. While it would be overstating matters to call the experience exceptional, it was, in every practical sense, enjoyable.
All things considered, Prezzo offers a polished yet unpretentious dining experience in the heart of London. It may not have redefined Italian cuisine, but it nonetheless provided a conducive environment for a perfectly pleasant supper.
