Famoso Guildford

I’m so glad that there’s a place like this in Guildford! I really like the food and the atmosphere.
In my most recent visit, I got the Italian coffee, which I found really good. I ordered their Margherita pizza and the Pistachio Pesto Primavera. The pizza was tasty enough to impress me, since I find a lot of places have really bland tasting Margherita pizzas. I loved the Pistachio Pesto Primavera though. It’s my second time ordering it and I wasn’t disappointed. I got Dolce and Banana for dessert and it’s really my favourite. It was my third time ordering it and I found the bananas were a little different than the first two times I ate them. They lacked the sweetness I was looking for and I based this off my previous experiences. Nevertheless, I still loved it.
If you’re curious about other pizzas, so far, I’ve tried Sweet BBQ Chicken and Funghi. I liked Sweet BBQ Chicken more than Funghi, although Funghi is my sister’s personal favourite. The Funghi was too cheesy and creamy for me after eating a lot of it.
For pasta, I’ve also tried the Prawn-​Gole, but I find the Pesto Primavera much better because the Prawn-​Gole lacked something I couldn’t place.
I think the service varies throughout the day. I’ve been here multiple times and in the evenings, sometimes we have a hard time getting the servers to see us when we need them because it’s a bit dark. Lunch time was a much easier experience. They’re all pretty nice though!

Had the Cavatappi Mac & Cheese. At first glance I was worried but it was great. Just enough cheese to please!

The atmosphere is cool, the food is pretty good, if overpriced (we tried the Primavera, Hawaiian and Prosciutto Pizzas and a panna cotta), but the service sucks. I know they’re busy but our server definitely rushed us through the meal and never brought refills. We can get brick oven pizza a lot of other places and won’t be back here.

Had the absolute BEST time here. Love the atmosphere, it’s so rustic and casual. The service was bang on. Everyone is so casual and friendly. But most importantly… The food is amazing!!! How could you go wrong with European style hand made pizza with super unique toppings you wouldn’t find anywhere else? Having it all made fresh and TASTE fresh is a huge bonus! The prices were really fair as well! When you go make sure to save some room for dessert, their banana Nutella crêpe is to diiiiieeee for! Will definitely be dining there again soon!

Nothing special. Lacking in service and somethings are a bit on he pricey side… We removed 3 toppings and added one which we had to pay for. And paid $ 9 for a warmed up banana and a scoop of vanilla bean. Meh.

Wow. Amazing customer service here. My cousin and I went for the first time and it was busy! Which is great. I love the layout but not too roomy here. They have gluten friendly crust and daiya cheese as well. I was über happy about this and that they have italian sodas that we happily spiked with vodka. We had the calamari to start. We agreed that the breading was a bit too heavy for seafood but to be fair the slices were chunky.
The pizzas were very good and fresh but I have to say the service was top notch and attentive. We also got the Dolce & Banana for dessert and actually got mine for free so we didn’t have to share one. I would suggest more ice cream on this dish since my cousin and I had to ration the ice cream. But very tasty overall.
Do go, it’s a good time. I recommend it for a casual date or with family.

This is like a 3.5÷4 star rating. If there were half stars, it would be 3.5.
We really enjoyed our first visit to this new restaurant. It’s a casual atmosphere with the pizza and pasta, but also kind of an upscale atmosphere, with the bar, music, and alcohol.
Ordered:
Caesar (drink)
2 beers
Marinated olives
Primavera pizza
Diavola pizza
Abruzzo pizza
Approximately $ 77 total, plus tip.
The olives were really great, and I’d order them again.
The pizzas were also delicious, but to give them some criticism:
1. The bottom of the crust was super soggy on all of the pizzas. I think it was overuse of olive oil, because
2. The pizzas were all pretty greasy/​oily.
Those two points aside, they were still yummy.
Also to note that they’ve only been open for 2 – 3 weeks. I’m sure that they’ll only improve.
A bit pricy, not our everyday pizza joint, but we’ll be back for sure.
