Taste of Napoli

You're walking through Broadmead on a Friday night, dodging the usual retail crowd, when you spot Taste of Napoli tucked away on The Horsefair. Step inside and suddenly you're somewhere else entirely—the sort of authentic Italian spot that doesn't need to shout about itself. The wood-fired oven does the talking, cranking out blistered pizzas with the kind of leopard-spotted crust and properly stretched dough that makes you wonder why you've been settling for mediocre bases elsewhere. It's unpretentious in the best way: locals who know what they're doing, proper ingredients, and none of the unnecessary faffing about. Whether you're after a classic Margherita or something more adventurous, this place respects the craft.
