gallipoli has lost the plot recently i think. they (all three of them) used to be really good value but these days you're looking at a tenner for a main so it's not so much cheap eats anymore. since they opened the fourth one on upper street they seem to be chock full of goggle-eyed tourists every night too. last time i went to one (the newest *cafe *gallipoli) we had to send back a dish twice. i'm not sure what the veggie special was meant to be like but a pile of cold, limp and suspiciously tinned-looking grean beans and baby carrots does not pass as edible as far as i'm concerned. by the time the second replacement had arrived i'd long since finished my dinner and we just wanted to leave. service was faultessly lovely and very apologetic but i can't help but feel they've lost a lot of the charm that made them so good in the first place.
