Rico's Pizza Shack in West Oxfordshire

My main memory that i will take way from this visit to this particular Nero is the great staff who were very friendly efficient and knowledgable; plus I was served promptly given the busy nature of the shop at the time of my visit. Nero's coffee is by far the best on the British High Street.

I was sceptical about this being an “authentic Italian,” restaurant. I was delighted to find that it was. The chef the first visit was from Naples and he did a good job with the food. I’ve had starters of seafood and then spaghetti bolognaise as main. The tiramisu was finished but the chef made a fresh tiramisu for my husband, which he enjoyed. On our second visit we took our daughter, keeping our fingers crossed it would be as good as before. We needn’t have worried it surpassed our expectations and was a delicious experience!! We all had starters, onion and tomato salad, vegetable soup and seafood. We then had spaghetti bolognaise, steak with pasta and a seafood risotto. Pudding and coffees followed. All of the food was fresh, hot and excellent. We were enjoying it so much I forgot to take any photos. We will return to this restaurant and hope people visit to keep a great restaurant going!

Cannot recommend Paddy and the Cotswold Pizza Company enough. Having explored many options for the evening food at our wedding just outside Gloucester, Paddy stood out with glowing reviews on several platforms - having worked with him I see why! He was always available to answer questions over the phone and emails and even took time out of his weekend to visit the venue with us a few weeks before the wedding. The pizzas were very reasonably priced and on the night were a hit, with everyone was raving about them the following day. Thank you so much to Paddy and the team for contributing to a stress-free planning process and wonderful day!
