Neapolitan is my go-to spot when I’m craving proper Italian comfort. Their wood-fired pizzas come out with that perfect blistered crust, topped with punchy flavours that never disappoint.
I decided to try their Prosciutto Fichi pizza, and wow… the sweet figs and salty prosciutto were a match made in heaven. I paired it with a crisp white wine, which perfectly balanced all the flavours.
And here’s something to cap off the meal: baked waffles plus Italian luxury ice cream.

Rudy’s on Castle Street serves lively Neapolitan pizza with 24-hour proofed dough baked in just 60 seconds. Interestingly, they use “00” flour and bake it in a traditional Stefano Ferrara oven. This gives the classic leopard-spotted char plus chewy bread.
At lunch, my friend tried their signature Romagnola pizza. It’s a paper-thin Neapolitan dough topped with silky prosciutto, peppery rocket, and extra virgin olive oil. Each bite was a balance of salty and nutty flavours.
| Pro Tip: If you want the best value at Rudy’s, stick to their meal deals: Grab a Pizza + Drink + Dessert bundle for only £20.

The menu balances classics like margherita and marinara with meaty options like chorizo or ragu napoletano. I absolutely love pairing a plate of garlicky olives or smoky dips alongside my pizza.

The Quarter on Falkner Street offers a relaxed Mediterranean-Italian dining experience with casual dining vibes. Their all-day menu features pizzas, pastas, and sharing boards made with seasonal, fresh ingredients.
I love their brunch offerings — hearty breakfasts like the “Quarter Full Breakfast” or a veggie-friendly vegan option. For lunch and dinner, their small plates and handmade pasta dishes definitely hit the spot.
What really sets them apart is their location. They’re located in the cobbled Falkner Street in the Georgian Quarter. It’s a spot often called the city’s “continental café” for its Paris-meets-Italian charm.
