"Best place to eat in town on a smallish budget!"

A review of Pizza Express by Irma Lambert - Thursday 10th of July 2003


7a Jesus Lane is definitely my favourite restaurant in Cambridge. If I just want to go for a casual meal with friends or even just for dessert or starters (they don't have a problem with that!) it's perfect. 
 
The atmosphere is great (though I always try to sit in the 'library' room at the back as it's quieter and feels warmer) and the food is very enjoyable Italian (rather than American-Italian), especially considering that this is a chain. 
 
Prices are very reasonable, with a three course meal + drinks easily below 20 pounds. They have a few vegetarian options, and I haven't found a dish I don't like so far. 
 
And as previously mentioned, PoNaNa's is just downstairs for after-dinner boogie-ing (though some fat beats tend to come through the floor in the front room, I believe). 
 
Recommended!
