Franco & Co (TAVOLATA) Preston

Forget the usual Plenty Road suspects. TAVOLATA is where you actually want to be drinking a Limoncello Spritz on a Tuesday night. The vibe here? Pure, unpretentious warmth—busy, buzzy, and effortlessly cool. Pizza purists are quietly obsessing over the cornicione on these pies. Light. Chewy. Blistered to absolute perfection. You need the Mortazza—a masterclass in texture loaded with creamy burrata and a heavy hit of pistachio. If pasta is the mandate, the beef cheek gnocchi ragu hits with ridiculous, slow-cooked depth, while the crabmeat fettuccine is unapologetically rich. Finish with the pistachio tartufo. Oh, and zero weekend surcharges. Che figata. Just book a table and thank me later.
