Bottelino's

Great pizza. Who can complain when it's under a fiver!

I really like this small Italian restaurant. It's a chain, but only has a few stores in the South West, so they still care about serving great, traditional food, rather than placing profit well above any other consideration. You'll always get a warm welcome from the staff here and the pasta dishes are simply perfect, in my opinion. The prices aren't half bad either, as you can easily go to town for less than £20 including your drinks. Yes, I recommend this place for a variety of activities, whether a date, a family meal or a birthday party. Just be sure to call ahead if have anything special in mind.

It was the hottest day of the year. Girls in flowing dresses and suited office workers in sunglasses were lining the streets of Bath, and I was on the way to my cousin's 25th birthday party. Normally, a meal at an Italian restaurant would have brought a smile to my face, but the thought of being in a sweaty room with a hot meal in front of me today was turning me right off.
