General Comments

I had the chance of a lunch in Chepstow, a lovely old town, on the Welsh border thanks to work. I have been to Mamma Mias once before - in the evening - and having enjoyed thought I'd try again.

I was pleased by their lunch time menu - £6 for one course, £8 for two. It's quite restricted and the full menu is available.

Front of house was the manager - and only the manager - who dealt wonderfully with a fairly full restaurant of 30 or so diners. He was super courteous and genuinely Italian - I managed to try a few well rehearsed phrases from this year's summer holiday in Venice.

I was in a rush so opted for one course only - a pizza with a choice of up to 3 toppings - not bad for £6!!!

Service was unhurried and my fellow diners who were mostly mothers with children or older ladies at lunch seemed to be enjoying as much as I was.

The pizza was super crispy along the edges with a generous amount of topping - though not quite what I'd ordered! I'd suggest that the manager uses a pad to record orders rather than memorising (a big bug-bear I share with Times critic, Michael Winner).

It was too good though to turn away and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I could hear gasps of "my goodness" at other tables as dishes arrived - the portions are generous!

I eventually rolled out, just £10 the lighter (including tip) feeling that I really should return again shortly.

Bella!!
