The curtain’s come down on another week of critical punches in our weekly Food Fight. Users’ top five favorite Italian restaurants have remained much the same, but the pecking order has shifted slightly, with L'Isola now coming in as users’ top-rated restaurant. Here was the top five list last Wednesday:

1. Metro
2. L'Isola
3. Annie's
4. Piazza Italia
5. Gisa

And here’s how things look after a week of flying pasta sauce:

1. L'Isola
2. Metro
3. Annie's
4. Piazza Italia
5. Gisa

Our winning review comes from Snow_man, with an assessment of the old-faithful of Beijing’s Italian options, Annie's:

“Good:
- Delivery is free and fast.
- Prices are ok
- Food is familiar, never any nasty surprises like other "Italian" restaurants
- Ceasar salad is good
Bad:
- If I didn't order my tomato motezralla salad via delivery I would have sent it back to the kitchen. Grainy tomatoes and tasteless cheese. Pathetic two ingredient dish.
- The calzone was flavourless and undercooked.
- Rest of the food is not mind blowing.
Updated after another disappointing delivery.”

That’s how we like ‘em – sharp and too the point.

This week it’s a Food Fight closer to home: PEKING DUCK!!

Here are our top four Peking Duck restaurants as rated by users (based on places with three or more reviews):

1. Made in China
2. Duck de Chine
3. Da Dong Roast Duck
4. Liqun Roast Duck Restaurant

Peking duck is close to every Beijinger’s cholesterol-filled heart, so this one should get the punches flying.
