If this place hadn’t been on OpenTable, I wouldn’t have given it a second look. The signage isn’t great, and the décor extremely off-putting; it seems it’s ‘retro-futuristic’ – pretentious, much? But we wouldn’t have cared if they’d made us stand to eat.
This amazing little bistro serves up some of the finest Italian meals we’ve ever eaten – and we have eaten many, many 100s. Nice welcome, from very efficient and friendly staff – the kind that are genuinely pleased to serve you fabulous food.
Starers: crab canollo, white crab meat, and clementine, for all of us. Superb, packed with exquisite flavours and assembled with love.
Mains: rigatoni, ‘nduja, cacio ricotta, for me – just the right amount of heat; perfectly cooked.
For the husband – who is obsessed with carbonara – the agnolotti, guanciale, and pecorino. The last time we had agnoletti [in Italy] they were not a patch on these delicate little beauties.
Our guest had mafalde, slow-cooked beef, and pecorino, and said it was the best meal she’d had, anywhere, ever.
They had space for desserts; a quirky [or brave] gorgonzola cheesecake, pear, with rum jelly, which was certainly interesting. And a coconut mousse, chocolate, and caramelised fig, which looked very fancy and tasted subline.
I’d have ‘drunk my dessert’ and had a grappa, but sad to see, there were none on the drinks menu. We did share a bottle pinot grigio, which was very good.
We’ll be back – and we’ll sit near the open kitchen again; we love seeing magicians at work.........
