La Bellezza del Cibo Italian Street Food

Very busy

I am on Maddox St all the time. My hairdresser is there so always looking for a new quick lunch spot.

I was very encouraged when I spotted this little hole in the wall, serving pizza, pasta and salads buffet style, it was absolutely packed so like everyone else I followed the crowd.

It must preface I have only ever been once and I’ve never noticed it before so it could be new and finding their feet.

It also could be I just ordered the wrong thing.

I went for the plant based spaghetti bolenese which came with three toppings but the toppings were cold, like salad items, so I just went for olives, there wasn’t anything else that would really go. I didn’t really want salad items like cucumber, corn, tomato with my pasta.

It was a very generous portion so no complaints there, enough to feed two people for about £10.

What was it like?

Imagine ordering spaghetti with red sauce in a hotel off the children’s menu and that pretty much sums it up.

Very simple, very plain, but like I said I could have just ordered the wrong thing.

People like it. There’s usually a queue.
