The corridor-like interior rings to the clamour of an open kitchen not more than a metre from your table. The atmosphere is akin to an Asian canteen and, with the heat from the stoves, so is the climate. Pick a pasta, a sauce, a size, and pay. Surly counter service is complimentary, the food far better than you might expect. Puttanesca is rich and tangy, while king prawns drunk on white wine and garlic add a new dimension to classic 'aglio e olio'. Seating rotation is swift - perfect for a quick meal before catching a flick at the Dendy cinema just around the corner.
