Mitico

Simple, authentic, fresh Italian fare is the order of the day. Pizzas are feather-light and wood-fired, with bubbly bases. They’re made according to a secret family recipe, not too heavy on the mozzarella and not shy with the toppings. Pastas are beautiful, simple and fresh. Try the penne paesana - Napoletana sauce, bacon, onion, mushrooms and cream – or the spaghetti alla puttanesca with Napoletana sauce, olive oil, olives, capers, chillies and anchovies. There are no wheat-free pizza bases or pastas, which means salads are the only real options for the wheat intolerant, but check out the daily specials board for items like grilled calamari if you’re trying to dodge gluten. Oh, and the Italian kisses are superb.

The restaurant has only recently received its liquor licence, so the wine list is still being finalised, but there’s no shortage of options.

Gianni and David Vigliotti (uncle and nephew) are ever-present, and make sure that everyone is happy and taken care of.

Friendly, bustling and relaxed, this is a true family restaurant. On a warm night or during a sunny lunchtime the outdoor seating area is gorgeous.

It’s a lovely no-fuss Italian place; you could easily go once a week.
