"When you try a restaurant you've never tried before, it's always a gamble. Fortunately it paid off here. Ordered the take home meatballs, bolognese sauce and gnocchi and all were fresh, well balanced and delicious. The meatballs were lightly herbed and the meat was cooked to perfection and was quite lean. The accompanying sauce was the right balance of great rich tomato without being oily. The potato gnocchi was melt in your mouth silky. The only thing for me was the Bolognese sauce could have been meatier rather than on the thin side, but it is a sauce after all so shouldn't really complain. The meat was lean and satisfying without being greasy or grisly. Definitely recommend. Staff and atmosphere seemed very pleasant. Wish I lived around the corner. Prices very reasonable."

"The pizza here has always been consistently good. But to our surprise, the desserts were excellent too! Do yourself a favour..and leave some room for a dessert..or two."

Angela De Francesco

"Despite being busy they found me a spot by the window, the pizza made a very good showing. The sauce was light and bright, the dough well formed and had just the right amount of slight charring on the bottom. All the ingredients were fresh, overall a worthwhile trip."

James Deucker

"Wow! The food was made beautifully! The waiters were friendly and fast. The pizzas were cooked to perfection. The squid with cucumber and mango tasted amazing. The salami pasta tasted great! We were seated outside in the cold but that’s because the place was fully booked but other than that the experience was fantastic."

"We had the margherita and porcini e gorgozola pizzas, the insalata di spinaci size dish and the tiramisu for dessert and the dishes did not disappoint. The ambiance is really nice - good for a casual date. Big enough to fit large groups. They do have a section at the back that they can probably close off if you book. Overall, lovely dining experience. Will come back for more."

"Lots of great pizza in this area but Ladro is probably my favourite. The gold standard for margheritas. Excellent tomato paste coupled with light and creamy fior di latte. Thin, crispy crust that can be enjoyed on its own. No grease and easy on the stomach. Close to perfection."
