Despite…read moreit being over an hours drive away in Crosby after one look at the menu I had a feeling it would be worth it, and it was. Upon entering we were greeted by a lovely waitress who continued to be pleasant throughout the entire evening. She seated us at a lovely table and passed us the menus and wine list. I ordered a large glass of red and carried on looking through the menu. I could have eaten everything on the menu, which is why it took me so long to decide, but in the end I settled with some amazing choices. To begin, and to share between us, we ordered some 'pork dustings' which can only be described as the most delicious and crunchy pork scratchings. Served with a home made brown sauce and some seasonings on the side it really was incredible. The chef sent some amazing bread and some chicken liver parfait our way too! Which was lovely. For my starter I ordered the house black pudding with apple fritter, pork scratchings and English squash. It was spot on, especially the apple fritter. My main meal was the best of all - pigeon breast and legs with mushrooms. I ordered chive mash, carrots and kale to go along with this and it happens to be one of the best meals I've had to date. The pigeon breast was served rare but was still so tender and tasty. The pigeon legs I have been raving about ever since I left, just little bites of heaven. I couldn't handle a dessert, but the jam roly poly would have been my choice. I can't rate this restaurant highly enough, and with the recent news of it gaining an AA rosette, it seems I'm not the only one!!

Located basically right under the Wheel of Liverpool on Kings Dock, this branch of Pizza Express to…read morethe eye looks like a really nice, modern branch and it is a branch I've wanted to visit for a while. Much to my surprise, I found out this store has been open for over eight years, with a full glass interior and overall being really modern, this surprised me to find out the store wasn't newer - however it seems the overall look and feel of this branch seemed to be one of the few good things about this Pizza Express store, a store I had wanted to visit for a while now, and with a promotion to get any pizza for £5 through my mobile phone provider, O2, I felt it was the perfect time to try this store during my few days spent in Liverpool. The staff seemed a little eager at most aspects, which was both good and bad, it was good in the sense service was originally quick or in an "express" but bad in the sense that parts of my experience were rushed, the only part which took longer than I'd have liked was payment, someone come up to me with a card reader then vanished for no reason I could recall, with the store also being quiet on my visit, with no update, apology or excuse from the staff member. An example of service being quicker than I'd have liked was the staff coming over to see how my pizza was, while I was still in the middle of cutting it, meaning I hadn't had the chance to taste it yet, but the first thing which sprung to mind was the amount of sauce on my pizza, it was a little sloppy to the point where the first piece just slid off the chopping board (they use these for gluten-free pizza orders) flat down onto the floor, no member of staff offered to clean this up during my visit making it possibly a safety hazard for both myself and the next customer. I ordered the gluten-free Carbonara pizza after enjoying it at the Pizza Express in Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester and through a recommendation from my server as I was originally struggling to decide between that and the Ragu, I rather regret my decision now considering how it turned out. The amount of sauce on the pizza was just too much, I had to scrape some of it off, making the base slightly soggy, gluten-free bases are already far from fantastic in your standard commercialised Italian, but this just made it even worse. I also had issues from my egg, where it was runny where it should be hard, and hard where it should be runny, with the yoke not being runny at all and the egg whites being slightly runny - this might not be a breakfast restauraunt with the eggs being a bonus on the pizza, as I recall this is only one of two pizzas alongside the Florentina to feature a fried egg in the middle, but I have had so much better in the past from other Pizza Express stores and even rivals such as Zizzi, so it should have been a lot better. This store is a prime example of looks being deceiving, this store looks modern, exciting and bright, in a great central location in Liverpool city centre, right by the Wheel of Liverpool on Albert Dock, but sadly the food and service quality was really bad, to the point where I'm glad I had a coupon and only paid £5, which might seem good value for a pizza especially a gluten-free one, but I still can't help for a pizza of that poor quality which left me feeling sick for over an hours afterwards, even then I have been ripped off in an experiencce which puts me off Pizza Express as a whole.

We went there after typical lunching hours and found the place still pretty busy with folks cycling in and out. I heard that the line goes out the door at dinner, so I figured we'd try it out. The huge pane glass window allows ambient light in, then it's classically lit on the inside with yellow lighting to give that Lady and the Tramp effect. :) I ordered one of the daily specials, Risotto Italia, that had diced chicken, slices of ham, onions, mushrooms all in tomato sauce. It was fine, but a little heavy on the sauce. The sauce was good, but it buried the risotto. My dish wasn't nearly as good as Liz's Tortellini Italiana, which came in a meat sauce under baked cheese. The consistency of the crusting cheese was great, and the meat sauce was generous with the meat. We also tried the Bruschetta Tricolor which was a great balance of a caprese salad over a fresh bread and pesto... it was really good. I really enjoyed by visit to Casa Italia. It was very well priced, and I can see why its popular. You get a lot for a little... even with the picodillo (small) portions. Reservations need only be made for groups greater than 6. Give 'er a try!

With the typical white marble statues dotted about and plastic grapes from plastic vines, you may think this is your run-of-the-mill Italian, but there's a certain something that just makes it stand out. Probably the steak. Did I mention the steak? Huge fan... I mean its not like the food is drop down dead out of this world, but when you consider the price (very reasonable) and the location (centre of town) it seems like a miracle. Plus the fact that if you didn't know it was there you'd probably walk straight past it. But please don't walk past it! The waiters thankfully don't do phony Italian accents, because the majority of them are actually Italian, and if you don't like steak there's also a vast array of other food to try.

Because my bf and I weren't familiar with the area, I just googled "gluten-free food" and this restaurant came up and looked pretty positive. By the time we walked there, it was very busy. And so incredibly lucky, as the host said we were the very last walk-ins they could accept, loud with clamour and guests talking over each other. I'm sorry they had to turn away the one other couple behind us, but I was scared too because I wouldn't know where else to get allergy sensitive food. The thing is though, if you do have food allergies here, everyone always tells you that you have to speak up about it every time. I guess I didn't because I always figured I'd just work around my problems. So my host/server always told me I needed to mention that to all the people coming to take my orders. I convinced my boyfriend to try some of the pate -- which came with a piece of gf bread and cucumbers, he didn't like it, but I enjoyed it. It was smooth and creamy -- but also, I felt that I needed more salt as the flavor was semi-bland too. Adding in more salt or pepper isn't really an issue with me, that's why they put those on the table. But bf got some really cheesy lasagna and I got a gluten-free pizza. The crust was thin and had the right texture of chewy-ness and flavor. It was incredibly delicious and delightful. It also took awhile longer, I'm sure the chefs have to be very careful about food contamination, which is why you have to constantly remind servers about your allergies so they can relay it to the back. Which reminds me, by the end of the night, I ordered a basic vanilla gelato. I thought this probably doesn't have any wheat in it! So I ordered it with one of the circulating servers, but our host at the front came over (I wish I remembered his name :( ) came over and took the bowl away because I forgot to tell this server I'm gluten-sensitive. So my bad! But it took so long for the gf gelato to come out. But it was one of the best vanilla gelato's I've ever had. Like nothing compared to any I've tasted in California. I'd definitely recommend this place. Staff was very attentive and food was excellent.
