Q and A
Hopes? Quality classics? Or creative originality? We're ready.
Reality? Hmmmm...bits of both. And not. Confused? It is. So were we. A bit.
First Impressions? That pizza oven interior is rotating. It's rotating. Like a giant mee-crow-wah-vey. Ooooooh!
USP? S is for Spinning thing! It's got an oh-vern that roh-tah-tés.

Eat me! Things could start more excitingly. You'd expect the Chicken fingers in a cardboard box off the back of a bike. With a nice creamy dip, there were plenty of these little strips, but they were tonally off; a smart, adult-oriented restaurant, introduced by something from a 10 year old's birthday party? One of a very short list of hot starters, a deep-fried appetiser is simply not making the most of that huge, hot (and presumably expensive) spinning USP. Dough balls with chilli oil? Provolone with foccacia strips? Come on!
Can's pizzas came with a nice crunchy crust and thin base close to what I'd hope for from a classic Italian. There's no offer of oil, flavoured or otherwise, or black pepper. At least one would have been nice.
The Capricciosa was pleasingly traditional. Heavy on the mushroom and ham, middling on the olives, very light on the artichoke. The single, lonely artichoke. Points for a well baked central egg with a runny yolk. Calling a pizza Al Capone wouldn't be my choice, and I'm not clear what the toppings have to do with it, so it's memorable, but not for the reasons I'd want. The burrata is up to standard, and the tomato was good. But those onions over-powered things, so needed managing. We were surprised by anduja, which, with its low-spice taste and granular texture. has nothing to do with ´nduja. Everyday's a lesson...
The tiramisu was entirely conventional, heading to conservative. A nice sized pot, it's a reasonable portion which is shareable. There's no coffee hit or alcohol warmth to make it memorable or interesting though, and absolutely no effort needed to prepare it beyond opening a fridge. Was it designed to be family friendly? Maybe like those chicken strips? We don't know.
Friend friendly? Pizzas for both v and V on the menu.
Rating for dating? I guess pizza's a safe choice. The place is smart too. Tables perhaps a bit close together in some areas.
Tip? Small one for speedy friendliness.
Change one thing? More engagement, passion and creativity. Which might be three things.
Revisitability? OK. But the shortage of creativity off the main courses is a downer.
