I've got his italian cookbook. Nearly every recipe is great, and my daughter loves making the pizzas.

"Prices will start at £5 for a light meal and Oliver's people say that for £10 diners should get a "hearty meal". Oliver is committed to making sure each diner has its own character but he is anticipating big crowds - up to 4,000 a week in Bath".

I think what he's doing sounds more like Carluccio's or Strada - but maybe a bit cheaper. It's a crowded market though, so it doesn't sound that exciting.

That said, we could do with one in Newquay. No decent Italian food here :-(
Not even a Pizza Express....

The thing that annoys me though is this is just another way for wealthy owners to monopolise the restaurant market. I'd rather see more independent restaurants.
