Yes, Pizza at Da Mario's in Gloucester Road. We'd arranged to meet here before heading on to Prom 37 at the Royal Albert Hall. I'd parked in Imperial College and then stood around outside Da Mario's for a few minutes taking in the Gloucester Road busy scene, complete with fancy fast cars drifting along the road. A high Ferrari and Maserati count.
Da Mario's is something of a tradition. The original chef there invented the recipes used by one of the well-known UK/Italian chains and this small restaurant is where it all started. Princess Diana used to bring the boys to the restaurant and there's a picture inside of her with the owner. I've been to this unassuming venue quite a few times and its always good.
Then a few minutes walk to the Royal Albert Hall to see Nitin Sawhney at the Proms.
