Review

WHY GO? A well-established eatery that consistently offers great cuisine at good value. The chef-owner and his team add innovative touches to Italian classics on a menu that is refreshed frequently to take advantage of seasonal produce.

WHAT TO ORDER? Begin with slow-cooked soft and crispy egg, which is cooked for 45 minutes and then pan-fried for a crispy finish and served with a tangy parmesan fondue given even more depth with shavings of black truffle. Alternatively try grilled tomino cheese, a classic from Piedmonte made with fried mushrooms and parma ham, with the creaminess offset by wild rocket. Continue with a hearty comfort dish of the rich risotto enhanced with barolo wine and foie gras. Meat lovers will enjoy the ultra-tender slowcooked veal cheek served with semolina gnocchi in the Roman style. Another enticing option is fettucine and creamy burrata, which neutralises the spiciness of the accompanying Italian sausage. There is an ample choice of desserts but recommended is chocolate and hazelnut mousse on a cornflake base with fresh cream—a wonderfully sinful finish to a great meal.

Drinks An extensive wine list is dominated by Italian labels but all major producing regions are well represented. A selection of wines is available by the glass.
