Hello Beautiful Souls!

A Neapolitan Culinary Gem on Finchley Road. If you’re a pizza enthusiast like me, you’re constantly on the lookout for that perfect pie that transports you to the streets of Naples with each bite. [Even though I have never been to Naples] Look no further than Cozaio Pizzeria on Finchley Road, where I lately had the pleasure of indulging in some truly authentic Neapolitan pizzas.

From the moment I stepped into this cosy eatery, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of wood-fired goodness filled the air, promising a culinary experience unlike any other. And let me tell you, Cozaio did not disappoint.

This eggplant dish was expertly cooked, with just the right amount of richness and flavour. It was the perfect precursor to the main event.

It was equally delightful, with the freshness of the spinach and the tanginess of the goat cheese creating a harmonious balance of flavours.

While I didn’t have the chance to try the truffle pizza on this visit, it’s definitely on my radar for next time. And although it comes with a slightly higher price tag, I have no doubt it’ll be worth every penny.

In conclusion, if you find yourself in the vicinity of Finchley Road and craving a truly authentic Neapolitan pizza experience, look no further than Cozaio Pizzeria. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

HELLO FOODIE | BOTTOMLESS DIMSUM AT LEONG’S LEGEND

Hello Beautiful Souls!

Today, I want to tell you all about my experience at Leong’s Legend for their bottomless dim sum brunch. I went with my mum. It was the perfect start to our day before seeing a musical in the West End.

The dim sum servings were quite generous, so despite being bottomless, we didn’t eat as much as we thought we would. However, that just meant we could try more varieties of dumplings and buns without feeling guilty.
