La Besi Restaurant

I have to admit that I was a bit cynical about ordering from La Besi, purely because I'm a bit of a takeaway traditionalist (I know what I like, and that's a curry house that does curries, a pizza place that does pizzas, etc etc - ordering fancy pasta and starters just feels wrong. Ok, felt wrong. Not no more, nuh uh).

We ordered marinated olives (so very very tasty) and mozzarella wrapped in parma ham (oh my god, my mouth's watering thinking about it now), and then various pasta-y delights. Relatively cheap (I think it came to £26 with a couple of desserts thrown in).

And then last night we tried a couple of pizzas and some cheesy chips (classy, ain't we?), and they came to under £13. Bargain. Really good, fresh, thin, authentic pizza bases and delicious pizza toppings. I'm hoping Hot Steve will stump up for another tonight because I'm feeling hungry and too lazy to cook...

Ooh and they're very prompt at delivering! And the dude who delivers is very friendly! And you can order ONLINE! How fantastical is that?

We have used this twice for delivery if we want a good quality romantic takeaway, and have not been disappointed. Proper Italian restaurant food delivered to our door. Great. It’s a bit strange eating tiramisu that’s been in one of those foil containers, but it sure tasted great!
