Tom Parker Bowles enjoyed lunch at a branch of a “Neapolitan-ish” group in Kent – “the kind of local Italian restaurant that is all the better for not banging on about being ‘authentic’”.
The staff were “lovely”, and the menu had “something for every whim and pocket”. Fried calamari was “crisp and hot and grease free”; spaghetti alla vongole combined al dente pasta with a “generous scattering of fresh clams”; skate was drenched in a “buttery, lemony, caper-studded sauce”.
“Pizza Vesuvio may not wow the Neapolitan purists (what does?), but with a perky tomato sauce, molten puddles of mozzarella and a crisp, charred base, it’s deeply respectable.”
