A lovely place
The Aigburth Road venue is run by Saroja Alasko, originally from Rome, and her husband Christian Di Dio, originally from Sicily. They serve a variety of Italian street food, primarily cartoccio - the 'pizza pockets' from which the restaurant takes its name.
"We do Italian street food, our main dish is a little triangle of pizza - a pizza pocket. We make them here, it's an old recipe from Rome. It's cut so you can put a hot filling inside it. And the fillings are recipes from all around Italy." When I visited in February, I tried the special, which had an excellent ratatouille filling. Returning to try Cartoccio again, I picked the chicken and the meatball options , washed down with a bottle of Messina lager .The bread is fresh with a crispy exterior giving way to a delightfully soft centre. The filling is superb - a rich tomato sauce is accompanied by good quality and herby meatballs while the soft bread soaks it all up.
