Azzurro - Portsmouth

Came for dinner with friends and had a really nice meal served by attentive and friendly staff.

I'm sorry but pizza was a real horror. Seriously, how can an Italian restaurant even call itself "Italian" when the pizza base looks like it's just been grabbed off a Sainsbury's shelf (if not - I'd even dare say - defrosted 5 mis before cooking) and then covered up with the most insane amount of mozzarella as if we asked for a four cheese? I could have easily scraped the sauce and cheese off the base if I wanted to, that's how badly the base had mixed with the toppings. No crust, no flavour. I do understand traditional wood fire ovens are not a thing in the UK but using electric ones should not be an excuse for restaurants to produce pizza that has the quality of a 5 pounds take-away.

The food was excellent and so was the view

Comfortable dining experience. Excellent service. Pleasant food.

We were very impressed with the food and service.

We ate about 4pm so the restaurant was quiet. There was a varied and extensive choice of foods, reasonably priced. And a lunch time deal of either pasta or pizza with a drink. Once we had ordered the food was received quite quickly and was very enjoyable.

This is my favourite restaurant, great atmosphere
