We were headed for Guiliano's, but it was fully booked. This was a good option. Family run, decent food at mid prices.
The pastas were good, but not fresh made. Salads and sauces were quite good. We even tried the homemade chili oil that we were warned was "spicy", however that was a bit overly dramatic to my palate. A bit picante, but certainly not on the hot level.
Lovely meal. Husband and wife team, so service is relaxed and pleasant. Definitely an affordable choose. Dinner with salads , starters, wine and pastas for three was about 60pounds -

After a really good experience at the original Giuliano's, we decided to give the Al Fresco restaurant a try. It's only two doors down from the other one, so I didn't really see the point in having two if I'm honest, but this restaurant offers a more relaxed, less formal dining experience which would be perfect for lunch.
The food in here is just as good as in Giuliano's, although I found the service to be a little slower in here which I guess adds to the relaxed atmosphere. I had the parma ham with melon, which I thought was extortinate at almost £7! then I had a simple Margharita pizza which was lovely, gooey cheese with a thin and crispy base, I couldn't fault it really.
I wasn't as impressed with the service or the food, or indeed the value for money in here, so in future I'm sticking to the original and best!
