Piccolo Forno review – Soho backstreet pizza

The Curse of St. Anne’s Court There’s no shortage of pizza restaurants in Soho and Piccolo Forno is the latest. The small diner has decided to set up shop at 9-12 St Anne’s Court, but this small Soho alley location has been a cursed address for past eateries.

The Coach and Horses review – London’s first vegetarian pub

Burgers in Las Vegas – Gordon Ramsay BurGR, Heart Attack Grill and more

This review of some Las Vegas restaurants is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage The last time I visited Las Vegas I dined almost exclusively at rather pricey haute cuisine restaurants. This time around I was on a tighter budget so, with Templeton Peck in tow most of the time, I decided … Continue reading »
