Bizarro

Yo I was back in the corner of the office trying not to speak to anyone, enjoying the 56kb dial up modem WiFi that we are blessed with.

And then I went for a bang average Italian at Bizarro near Paddington station.

They had a million things on their menu as is common in restaurants with no specialities, so I mistakenly ordered from their specials menu.

I could have had pizza, pasta, loads of different varieties of chicken or veal meals…but ended up going for chicken, peppers, ham and goats cheese special, thinking it might actually be special.

Nope.

To be fair, the grilled goats cheese actually was quite special, it had some depth to the flavour and a slightly crispy outside.

Alas the ham was like sliced ham from a pack of 100 slices at Tesco, peppers and chicken were decent enough but it didn’t work well together as a dish. Why such basic ham?

Average boiled vegetables to the side with slightly tough and dry potatoes, but edible. The tomato sauce was pleasant but nothing special. Nothing really was apart from the name of the corner of the menu I ordered from.

Quick and friendly service, there was certainly a buzz about the place for 2pm on a Wednesday…if I run out of places to try then I might go back for pizza perhaps.

Price came to about £19 I think.

Rating of 6.2 out of 10.
