never been keen on the word ‘truism’.

Do you not have a decent Bella Italia in your locale? Jay is willing to travel

I would imagine he will bring a selection which can be shared… for a fee (yes I will pay!)

Another variable here is that I have never been to a Bella Italia. Nor its predecessor Bella Pasta. Or at least I don’t think so. Always up for trying new things.

#55

Neither have I. But I guy I used to work with loved going up the west end for a musical and a Bella Italia.

I don’t believe so…?

I’m guessing it’s some kind of generic, “cheap-and-cheerful” Italian eatery?

I can’t vouch for its levels of cheer

#58

Fair play. Whatever floats your boat.

Basically the mainstream equivalent to the DiS staple of going to the Highbury & Islington Wetherspoons for a burger and then on to the Union Chapel to see something fucking awful.

1257 restaurants? More like 3. Also no Bella Italia.

Or cinema for that matter.
