Transcript

00:00I'm Alex Florio, the director of Florio's d'Italia with my son Max and my daughter Isabella.

00:07We just moved from Old Portsmouth, from the Duke of Buckingham, to Palmerston Road.

00:13So tell me how excited you are to be opening in Palmerston Road?

00:16It's exciting. We really hope with us being back here, Palmerston Road get back to what it used to be,

00:24the heart of South Sea, where everybody wants to be.

00:28Maybe once more, maybe we could be a reason for people to come back.

00:35Tell me what the reaction's been like since the evening.

00:39Yes, we had a queue, one stage this morning, early, but we didn't open on time, we're a bit late.

00:48But yeah, people are very excited and awfully they will appreciate the new addition on the menu,

00:54on top of the pizza that we have now established.

00:57I was going to say, is there any other services or, you know, changes to the menu?

01:01Basically, we open earlier and seven days a week, we added some panini made with focaccia bread.

01:07Bread is made by us.

01:08Lovely.

01:09And other stuff, bread related, like a typical focaccia from Puglia, where I come from.

01:15Yeah.

01:16And it's all freshly baked and prepared by us.

01:19We don't do frozen food.

01:21We only prepare what we know and we can.

01:26To anyone who has not been yet, come and try a pizza.

01:33It's really original, traditional and fresh.

01:36It's a better place.
