Nova Pizza is one of our favorite place. Burrata is exceptional. Pizzas are perfection and the pasta is delish. Every bite makes your tastebuds happy.

This is one of the most fantastic places on Earth if you are a vegan. The plates are delicious and creative. I think one of the biggest challenges of transitioning from a non-vegan/non-vegetarian diet is leaving some products behind that hinder pasta. How is it possible to enjoy great pasta again? Would I ever relish a pizza again? Where would I ever find gnocchi with a fantastic sauce? Gnocchi is one of my favourite meals, and here they excel at it. To be honest, they nail everything. The food tastes fresh and delicious, and best of all... it is cruelty-free! It is also dog-friendly, and both the staff and customers are welcoming. The overall vibe of the place is fantastic, encouraging you to stay and return time and again (which I have done, oops).

Lovely venue, fried chicken and crispy spring rolls are outstanding! I’m from Australia and eat BBH and Pho regularly and as my first experience in the UK of BBH it didn’t hit the mark for me. The broth when initially tasted felt like it needed a lot more work and I couldn’t build the flavour I’m used to with the herbs etc unfortunately. The beef was a bit dry and chewy, it overpowered the rest of the dish. While it didn’t hit the mark for me, I’m still glad I tried it. I’d recommend tissues on the tables and Hoisin sauce. Thanks
