Ciao Roma

If you don't have time to go to one of the better places ten minutes walk away, this Italian eatery is not a bad bet in this area starved of culinary talent. Don't be put off by the garish decor and fake statues adorning the walls. The staff don't take themselves too seriously, so you can eat a simple pasta dish here and enjoy watching them interacting with the customers.
