    The pasta was sticky and chewy. The pasta-portion size was just about OK. The ragu was delicious but sparse. The parmesan was not freshly grated. The salad was uninspiring. The oil and vinegar cheap. The wine was nice. The service was prompt. I've eaten at Apulia before but don't think I will again.

    We were sat a table for 2 by the toilets, with little space around us for staff or customers to pass our table. We shared a pizza which was average. The pasta at other tables smelled nice. 1hr in we were informed the table had another reservation, so we just got the bill. Walking out the restaurant seemed very popular by 7pm but I wouldn't go again.

    Apulia is a small Italian restaurant in Smithfield with a reliable menu that offers something a little out of the ordinary.

    Authentic food and good wine. Plenty of options for meat eaters with limited vegetarian mains options. Possibly not the best place for vegans or fussy vegetarians like me who doesn't eat mushroom. Margherita pizza was lovely and my friends had meat based pasta which they really enjoyed. Ambient and able to have a conversations between us. Service was pleasant and professional.
