I was craving pasta and this was just perfect! They were very nice about changing the penne to spaghetti on my request. My friends ordered lasagna and pizza and both were super good, too. Next time I'd definitely go for the lasagna! Nice staff, too :)

Buenos ingredientes frescos y servidos con sonrisas y humor. ¡Sin duda el lugar al que ir por auténtica comida italiana en Oxford!

Esta fue una recomendación de nuestro hotel y no nos decepcionó. La lasaña era imprescindible. Fue una gran porción de placer. Después de dos viajes recientes a Italia esto fue auténtico. Las pizzas eran fantásticas. El vino tinto de la casa era muy bueno y a buen precio. Tenían una buena selección de sabrosos entrantes.

It's one of those place that when some things appear to go wrong, but the service is nothing short of spectacular. I have to admit that I wasn't fully impressed with the food. The starters wer good, but the pizza I felt it wasn't the best. The dough was crunchy but the ingredients felt under par, and the cheese felt scarce. However, the staff were busy, extremely busy but very attentive and with a smile you couldn't feel anything less than being at home In Tuscany. I understand not all days are perfect, but I'm coming back and recommend for the experience. Forza Italia!

Deze pizzeria zag er leuk uit en heeft goede reviews. Bij binnenkomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen in deze gezellige zaak. Bij het opnemen van onze bestelling werd gezegd dat vanwege drukte het wel een minuut of 15 kon duren. Dat vonden wij prima. Helaas ging het steeds langer duren en werd er weer een nieuwe tijdsduur afgegeven. Op een gegeven moment zaten we al op zeker 45 minuten. De serveerster vond het zelf ook heel vervelend en gaf ons 2 pints als compensatie. Uiteindelijk kwam het eten en de pizza was heerlijk! Bij het afrekenen hoorden we dat de chef op vakantie was en de eigenaar nu zelf in de keuken stond (en niet zo snel was). We hebben er smakelijk om gelachen. Zonder de wachttijd was het gewoon een maximale beoordeling geweest.

This pizzeria looked nice and has good reviews. Upon entering we were kindly received in this cozy shop. When we took our order, it was said that due to crowds it could take about 15 minutes. We thought that was fine. Unfortunately, it took longer and longer and a new time period was issued. At one point we were already at least 45 minutes away. The waitress found it very annoying and gave us 2 pints as compensation. Finally the food came and the pizza was delicious! When paying we heard that the chef was on holiday and the owner was now in the kitchen (and was not so fast). We had a good laugh about it. Without the waiting time it would have simply been a maximum rating.

The service is excellent, run by a young girl. The cuisine of first courses and pizza does not reflect Italy. Promi dishes without flavor, overcooked pasta, inadequate ingredients and which reflect real Italian dishes. The pizza looked like chewing gum, indicating that the dough had to rise for a few hours and it wasn't even well cooked. They put cheddar together with mozzarella, which is low quality, and spicy salami instead of sausage, where the pizza is called "sausage and friarelli" Before selling any product that is not part of your culture, inform yourself and learn, or at least hire Italian people who know how to do this job. I've eaten in other places where it didn't reflect originality, and you are among the worst of my experiences.

The BEST Italian we’ve found in Oxford. The pizza was incredible and so was the penne primavera. We got the margherita (cheese) pizza and it was so delicious there was no need for further embellishments. The food came out hot and fast. What’s not to love about this place? The restaurant itself is traditional. They aren’t trying to wow you with Instagramable gimmicks. They’re all about the food and service; both of which are first class. I cannot overstate how much I love this place and can’t wait to explore the menu further. It’s a must go for any pizza and pasta lover.

The owner and the Pizza Master, the tables and chairs, the decor and most importantly the high quality of pizza and pastas stayed the same and we are all so grateful for that. Mario is an institution and a place everyone should treasure! One note: Now that I’m gluten free, I noticed they even have gluten free pasta and the pasta dish I chose tasted delicious!

Don't expect a fancy place, this is your neighborhood pizza restaurant. We didn't have the pizza but the other dishes were wonderful. We were recommended this by a hotel concierge who said great food at cheap prices. He was right. The server, Fabiena, was wonderful. We had their garlic focaccia, spag. Bolognese, and penne aglio. All were great. I had their salmon pasta which had marvelous taste but way too much salt - skip the extra cheese.

It's got the feel of a real Italian pizzeria, and I noticed Italians going there for dinner. The place filled up immediately on opening the doors. The staff was friendly, the pizzas came quickly. It's not a comfortable, calm place, it's more like a food factory. I did not enjoy the Bruschetta, as it was too salty. I also did not like the mozzarella and tomato salad, as they used some sort of horrible glazing instead of balsamico. The tomatoes were tasteless. The pizzas were average, and the crust too thick. I'd like my pizza with more tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings, and taste. I won't go back, unless I'm going with the flow of a group that wants to go there. I much preferred Mammamia in Jericho.

This was not a problem for Mario and we arrived to a warm welcome. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and conscientious. The restaurant was very busy and had a lovely atmosphere. One of our party is Coeliac and this was managed with knowledge and care. We ate from the regular menu and the specials and all the food was freshly cooked and delicious.

I’m in Oxford for work and, by pure accident (or fate?), I discovered this restaurant. Since I don’t like judging a place based on just one visit, I decided to go twice. Spoiler alert: it was a wild ride. Night 1 - The Case of the Missing Tap Water I walk in. The restaurant is half-empty. The host stand? Abandoned. No one in sight. I stand there awkwardly, slowly creeping closer to the counter, wondering if I’m invisible. Finally, a friendly gentleman (who I assume is the manager) spots me and takes me to my table. He asks, “Still or sparkling?” I confidently reply, “Tap water, please.” He nods, says “OK”… and then vanishes into thin air. Water? Never arrived. Did he forget? Did he go on a quest to find the purest tap water in all of England? We may never know. Luckily, a hardworking and super sweet waitress saved the day by taking my order and -miracle of miracles- bringing me the water I had requested years ago (okay, maybe just minutes, but it felt long). Food-wise? Pizza was fantastic! A little too much chunky pepperoni for my taste, but that’s a personal preference. No complaints otherwise. The bill arrives with the usual service charge included. I paid it- but only for the waitress, because our dear manager? Not exactly a service MVP. Night 2 - Speed Service & Vanishing Objects Friday night. Full house. I brace myself for a long wait, but lo and behold. same manager, different energy. This time, he seats me instantly (growth!) at a not-so-great table near the door. No problem, I’ll take what I can get. Does he ask if I want water? Absolutely not. At this point, I assume I’ve been blacklisted from the tap water club. A new waitress, equally delightful, takes my order. Food arrives in record time. I order salmon rigatoni. The salmon? Great. The rigatoni? Blah. No seasoning, no flavor, just… pasta. I consider asking for parmesan, but putting cheese on fish feels like a sin. Then, something incredible happens. I take my last bite. I wipe my mouth. Before I even lower my napkin..BOOM! My plate disappears. Like magic. Before I even blink, my napkin follows. I half expect my phone and wallet to vanish next. Final Thoughts - Lightning-Fast but a Bit Chaotic This restaurant has a solid foundation: good food (mostly), insanely fast service, and hardworking waitstaff. BUT, the customer care is… inconsistent. It’s like they’re on a speedrun of restaurant service, prioritizing efficiency over making guests feel truly welcome. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, someone could bring the tap water next time? Would I return? Maybe.

Cramped and over priced. £50 for two pizzas and two soft drinks. The last two times we have visited have been dreadful. No staff took us to a table, we waited patiently and the staff saw us waiting but ignored us. There are too many tables for this tiny space such that you cannot get past other diners without disturbing them or sit comfortably to eat. The pizzas at best are average and the drinks over priced £5 for a can of San Pellegrino, which you can buy wholesale for a pound or in a supermarket for less than £2 as are the beers per volume are expensive. Oxford city rates reflect the history of the city, but that doesn’t mean you have to rip people off. There are plenty of better pizza places in town Mamma Mia for one where prices are reasonable and you are not sat on top of other diners. Don’t be drawn in by this tourist trap or the allure that it is traditional Italian do your research and enjoy a better pizza dining experience that Oxford has to offer. To put it simply, pinsa is a type of pizza, a pizza is, by definition, a flatbread with cheese, sauce, and other toppings and if you sell pinsa not pizza you may wish to consider removing any reference to pizza from your branding and advertising and make it clear you sell pinsa as if if looks likes pizza and smells like pizza generally it is pizza unless otherwise stated. Thank you for confirming your San Pellegrino price, Sainsbury’s sell a pack of 4 for £3.60. It does not change the fact the place is cramped and over priced no matter how you try to justify product and branding.

I ordered a gluten free pizza margherita from the Jericho restaurant , on Deliveroo. The pizza tasted so bad and it wasn’t even cooked properly, I understand gluten free is going to have a different taste. I’ve had gluten free pizzas from other places and it didn’t taste bad, so I’m sure it wasn’t cooked well, plus there was so much mozzarella but not proper sauce, overall it was a bad taste.
