50 Kaló

On Northumberland Avenue, 50 Kaló di Ciro Salvo Pizzeria brings Italian craft to the capital. The brief is clear: considered ingredients, patient technique and flavours that feel both time‑honoured and fresh. From first sip to last slice, simplicity is the star.

Start with the aperitivo: an Aperol spritz brightened with Falinghina Brut, or a neatly stirred negroni. Fritti set the tone crocche di patate, a yielding potato croquette with provola smoked cheese, and frittatina al ragù, an eggless pasta omelette with bucatini, Bechamel Sauce, provola smoked cheese, minced beef and tomatoes.

Then come the pizzas. A margherita balances tomato, mozzarella and basil in easy harmony, while a diavola turns up the heat with spicy salami. For something lighter, there is caprese with mozzarella di bufala, tomatoes and basil, or a caesar salad with chicken breast and caesar dressing.

Round things off with tiramisu or cheesecake, then a civilised nightcap, Limocello or grappa or Peroni Nastro Azzurro on draft. A straightforward, satisfying pizzeria experience awaits. Gather your favourites and settle in; when the crust calls, answer with gusto.
