Review of Marzano

Non e bene 
This is the sort of Italian that makes me want strangle the owners with their own spaghetti. It's not even worthy of being called an Italian - it's on a par with the likes of Spaghetti House but has pretentions to being Strada.
It's the Northcote Road equivalent of an Angus Steakhouse on Leicester Square, luring in people who don't know any better only to serve them inauthentic, poorly executed crap masquerading as Italian food.
Expect rubbery mozzarella (and that's before it's been cooked), over salted and over cooked pasta and other renditions of Italian food that would reduce anyone, Italian or not, to tears.
You'd be better off buying a lasagne from M&S down the road and zapping it in the microwave.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

Review of Infernos Nightclub

If you're hankering after your student days, or even the days before you were a student and used to use fake ID to get into clubs with names like Ritzy's and Mirage, get yourself down here. If you're actually after a good night out, you're probably best looking elsewhere.
On a good night, it smells of cheesy feet, on a bad night, of vomit. You'll pay over the odds to get in and over the odds to get a drink. If you're in a big group, you might think you're doing it ironically and have a great night out, (like the hen parties and the rugby boys who you'll be sharing the dancefloor with) but, let's be honest, if you're over 18 and are even slightly bovvered about where you spend your time and your money, go elsewhere.
