What Ian Simpson doesn't like about Pizzeria Francesca:
Didn’t get over the door. Visited on a Saturday teatime after a few recommendations. Rang ahead to book a table but we were told they don’t reserve tables and you just walk in.. Queue of around 10 people when we arrived and 45 minutes later the queue had grown as we counted at least 15 people “joining friends” ahead of us in the queue.

Great food large portions for a great priceThe line can be long, hard to find a parking space and it can get a little hectic but it is worth it.

Expect a queue from 5.30/6pm onward to eat at this non-booking ItalianDespite the name, it's a full menu of pizza, pasta and entrees.

Located in a bustling area popular with students, this Italian restaurant has gained quite the reputation. While some diners were turned off by the long wait times and lack of reservations, others found the experience well worth it. The menu offers a variety of Italian dishes at reasonable prices, with the unique option to choose half pizza and half pasta. Despite some complaints about the wait times, the overall consensus seems to be that the food is delicious, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly. It's recommended to arrive early and be prepared for a potential line, but the delicious meals and affordable prices make it a worthwhile dining experience.
