Va Bene

Usually you can’t move for Italian restaurants, not so in Glossop. Now that the Restaurant at 54 has changed hands, this is the only remaining «properly» Italian restaurant i.e. one that has an Italian name for starters.
I came here for lunch and I would thoroughly recommend doing this. Their lunchtime specials start at £3.95 — that’s cheaper than some Subways, or Mcdonalds or a little meal from Tesco’s wrap range. You get the picture. Its cheap and it is a nice, sit down meal. What’s not to like.
They also do giant crispy pizzas with their ‘Grande’ for 4 at £16 and their ‘Huge’ for 6 at £20. Come on that is so cheap. Plus their open flamed pizza oven is authentic Italian. Bet you don’t get that at Dominoes.
They call themselves ‘The Italian Food Experience’ and whilst they may have a good local reputation this might be something to do with the aforementioned lack of real competition. I have had better at both independent chains like Croma and bigger sharks like Zizzi.

Been here several times and was impressed the first two times. However standards seemed to drop and on third visit was not impressed with the food or service, not been since, however may try again. Price of meal was not too bad.
