An enjoyable place to eat for two or twenty. For those seeking authentic Italian food beyond the mass produced pizza in town, the Luna Caprese is highly recommended. Oxford's longest established restaurant offers robustly flavoured meat and fish dishes in a peaceful atmosphere suitable for couples or small groups. The d cor is flamboyant, with crabs and seaside scenes adorning the walls. The Italian waiters offer diligent service with character.
Portions are generous and deftly prepared, with freshly made pasta.
This level of quality doesn't come without a price, but the value for money you'll find here is impressive. Ideal for the jaded palate. This conveniently central restaurant, set in the pleasant surroundings of the Oxford Union, offers relatively cheap and filling lunches in a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. The menu changes daily but tends to be rather restricted and it's a good idea to arrive early as some choices run out fast. Food quality is somewhere between the best hall food and good pub meals, tending to consist of solid if rather unimaginative fare such as steaks and stroganoffs.
