One of the better pizza chains around - this restaurant in particular is highly recommended. It's very handy for the main line Victoria station and, unlike some of the food outlets, around here doesn't look like it would give you food poisoning ! I have eaten here many times - it's not desperately expensive - and I have always had a good meal. Yes it's fairly standard "Italian" but it is well cooked, tasty and fulfilling. Also if you hit it just right it's not too busy - it's handy for the theatre trade so avoid the place for about an hour before the theatres start.

One of the larger (and better) venues of this growing chain of Italian restaurants, located opposite the District Line underground station exit in Victoria.

The building - especially the upstairs - is very grand, featuring high ceilings supported by slender pillars. Downstairs has a busier feel, and can get a little claustrophobic when it's full. Upstairs is much nicer, and a good lunch-time spot to meet.

The food here is above-average Italian, with a good selection of salads, pasta and (especially) pizzas. It's not gourmet food, but it's very reliable and I've not had a bad meal here. The wine list is not particularly extensive, but you should be able to find something to your liking.

The staff are generally attentive - the only gripe I have is that recently they seem to have taken to asking if you would like salads and other extras when taking your order. Some may regard this as good service, but I find it irritating. But it's a relatively minor complaint overall.
