Best Italian restaurant chain?

In your opinion which Italian restaurant chain serves the best food? and what are your favourite dishes?

I recently tried the lasagne in Zizzi - sooo good!

I remember trying Zizzi and Strada while staying inCheltneham and they're both really old :biggrin:, I think I prefer Strada though
My family gets 40% off Ask Italian, so they would probably get my vote even if I didn't think they had the best food too :ahee:

Ask is the only one I haven't visited yet. Is there anything in particular that you'd recommend. Also do they have good desserts?
Why is Bella Italia not on here?

gahhh they're all good, don't think I could vote :lol:


However, Strada's the only one for which you don't get money off with your NUS Extra card :wink:
I like ask (carbonara is so good) and zizzi (strezzopretti pollo rosso). I used to like prezzo because they did a really nice pasta dish called penne al pollo zaferanno but they stopped it along with their icecream and hazelnut bomb for pudding which they also stopped.

Not a huge fan of pizza express.

The antipasti and butterfly king prawn starters are great- sometimes I'll have those two together instead of a main if I don't want anything too heavy. Other than that I usually go for the pizzas which are really good, normally either the salsiccia, stromboli or steak tagliata. The only dessert I've had (normally we'll only go when we want a quick and cheap meal, so we rarely go for multiple courses) is lovely, I'm pretty sure they call it a lava cake and it's a chocolate fondant with a ball of ice cream on top which is covered by a dome of milk chocolate, they then pour saluted caramel sauce on top and the dome melts away. It's a crowd pleaser and very tasty :smile:

You missed Bella Italia in your poll. I really enjoyed the Ripiena pizza during my last visit. :colondollar:

Agreed! Where is Bella Italia? They even did (I don't know if they still do now) a 25% discount for anyone with a rail card. My parents used to love me for this as it was for the whole bill.

I'm just glad Carluccio's isn't on there. I hate that place.
