What User doesn't like about Il Desiderio:
Pizzas were dry with virtually no sauce at all. Toppings were scant almost non existent. I know at times "Less is More" however their effort on my two pizzas meant even a sparrow would have starved and looked elsewhere! There was a good 4cm circumference of crust of what was a poor base = Rubbish View all feedback. What User likes about Il Desiderio:
This restaurant is our Friday night regular with the kids, whether it be takeaway or dine in, the food is authentic and fresh. We also did their pizza master class, getting to see how they make their pizza's and the ingredients they use was definitely reassuring that what we are eating is the best! Highly recommend this place! View all feedback.
