Historical version 7 of Pappa Ciccia, SW6 5RQ (view current version)

My wife and I established the Pappa Ciccia on Munster Road in 1996. We seat only twenty two people and because of the small size there is always a warm and vibrant atmosphere. In May last year we opened Pappa & Ciccia in Fulham High Street. The menu is slightly larger and has given us the opportunity to offer many exciting new dishes.

We're very proud of what we have achieved and have now and built up a wonderful local clientele who are loyal and extremely supportive. We have put our heart into the cooking and service and the success we feel is due to the personal attention that we give to our restaurants every day. We hope when you come to Pappa & Ciccia you will find wonderful traditional Italian food, and a warm welcome.

Pizza and pasta restaurant. There's another branch at 41 Fulham High Street. I've only had takeaway pizza from here, once, but it was tasty, good quality and surprisingly cheaper than all the generic tomato puree and canned sweetcorn places that keep sticking leaflets through our letter box. This is my new favourite pizza place. --Kake

All pizzas are thin-crust 12", and are priced from �4.50 for Margherita (mozzarella and tomato) up to �9.50 for the Pappa Ciccia Special (mozzarella, tomato, baby spinach, red onion, parma ham, organic egg, Parmesan cheese). I had Il Contadino (mozzarella, tomato and mixed grilled vegetables) with the mozzarella left off; it cost �6.50 and was rather nice, if a bit floppy (I like that in a pizza, though). These aren't for fans of deep-pan stuff; the substance of these pizzas is in the toppings.

There's a good selection of salads; I had the Green Salad (�2.95), which is mixed leaves (turned out to be iceberg lettuce and rocket), artichoke hearts (not very good ones; too much choke and hard leaves left in), broccoli (just the right texture) and olives, dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. One portion was enough for two to share as a side dish, and I did like it.

Antipasti (�5.90/�8.50), marinated olives (�1.95), bruschetta (�2.50--�3.95) and home-made desserts (from �2.50) are also available. They don't seem to deliver wine, but we didn't ask.

This place is fabulous - it's a BYO wine restaurant and the atmosphere is warm and intimate. Great for a catch up with friends or a special dinner for two. The food is outstanding - always fresh and the service is impeccable. With the food so reasonably priced and being able to bring your own wine, I'd recommend it to anyone. This smells a little fishy to me, to be honest, I've never seen a reviewer write something like "great for a catch up with friends or a special dinner for two". - Earle

Why is that fishy? What's wrong with that phrase? Sounds like a perfectly reasonable review to me. --Kake

Maybe it was the use of "I" in an anonymous comment, or where it was originally placed, which made it look like you had said it. I guess I'm just a very suspicious person! If the author would like to reply, I will be happy to eat my words. -- Earle

Sorry to dissapoint you Earle but I am the author, not Kake...I think that it's a perfectly normal comment as I go there and get lashed with my friends but also have great dinners when in a couple...just in case you are still suspitious, my name is Charlie...not that that proves anything but if it keeps you happy...
