One such is the recently opened Paradiso in Wapping, the latest addition to a well established chain of six Italian restaurants, spread across the city.
Paradiso boasts what is claimed to be one of only a handful of traditional wood fired ovens in London, ensuring really authentic pizzas, and all the pasta is fresh and homemade.
The verdict has to be ‘pleasantly surprising and sophisticated’, especially in the local restaurant context, and if the subtlety of these two dishes pervades some of the other items on offer — and the menu has just been extended to include more meat and fish dishes - then diners will be well rewarded.
