The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Southeast

Right in the heart of Oxford, The White Rabbit (a nod to Alice in Wonderland) offers excellent value for money in its small, white-walled room. With paninis at lunchtime and pizzas all day, there's something for everyone, and a wide variety of recipes. In addition to the classic margherita and quatro fromaggi, there are a number of highly original formulas to choose from, with over 20 options. The perfect lunch break just a stone's throw from the Ashmolean Museum. The waiters are very friendly.

It's probably one of the best Italian restaurants in town, and its small dining room is often packed - and it's easy to see why. This family-run restaurant of Neapolitan origin masters its menu perfectly, concocting good pizzas, pastas, salads and panuozzo breads, filled and tasty. The walls are covered with grocery products, giving the place an authentic atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive to your every need. It's a long way from Brighton by the end of the meal...
