Cantuccio

One of our favourite locals -- best pizzas in town, hands down. Some of the other mains are a bit disappointing, and the specials too expensive and hardly ever change, but the pizzas are fabulous. For dessert, the only home-made option is a delicious tiramisu, which strangely enough is not listed on the menu... Friendly, personal service by the owners who lets kids make their own little pizza!

I love Cantuccio. if you dont like Cantuccio and you have bad comments keep them to yourself. Ok you can complain and that but it aint a debate. I love the Pizzas.

I will NEVER go to Cantuccio again, ever.

My pasta was so salty,I was crunching undissolved granules.I glugged down so much water,feeling embarassed about it & making a fuss with my partner there after our lovely day out. Her pizza looked great whilst it was openly being made near the clay oven but she told me it was nothing special. I eventually asked the waitress to take my plate 10 minutes after I'd stopped eating. She asked the usual "was all ok" and I apologised and told her it was so salty I had to stop. I could see her speaking to the chef and looking over at me. My pallate had been wiped out by the salt and I genuinley couldnt eat another thing. Just like when we were sat there waiting almost having to Mexican wave to order, they steadfastly avoided us on a 30% full Saturday night until I caught the waitress' attention as she scutled past out table. No apologies from them,no discount or nicety,nothing.As we snaked through the restaurant,they never said anything to us,no even a goodbye.They just stared. We felt strongly enough to write this review.

We always pass Cantuccios and wondered what it was like.We were due to go to Donna Margherita which has great,reliable service but thougth it was a little out of our way after a busy day of shopping. we will not make that mistake again.

We live near this restaurant, which has a prime location on st Johns Hill.

The owner seemed unenthusiastic about taking the order ( the same as when we tried the restaurant a year earlier). The main courses were borderline acceptable though the restaurant seems to economise on the essential ingredients (e.g. the Americana was severely lacking salami).

The dessert selection was a standard list of 'freezer based', presumably outside prepared, offerings. I ordered the apple tart which came partially frozen.

The waiter observed our dissatisfaction at the inedible desert but didn't attempt to make amends.

The restaurant has recently been re-painted blue, so we hoped a new owner had take it on, but unfortunately it hasn't improved since a similarly disastrous visit 1 year ago.
