I had the pleasure of dining in this cosy restaurant and enjoy dishes where I never come across before. Even though I never been to Italy but I have been to many Italian restaurants but nothing like this. The concept is like tapas and for people to share dishes, I think this is a brilliant idea so you get to taste many dishes. We didn't book a table and were seated at the bar. Lucky we got there early as the restaurant eventually got full.The wine list is also very interesting as all the wine ar
The wine list is also very interesting as all the wine are natural wine and I have never tried that before. I had a problem reading the wine lists because is all written in Italian but the waitress explans it very well and clearly. My girlfriend is not a big drinker so I ordered a half bottle, they have quite a lot of choices for half bottles whereas a lot of places have only limited to choose.
We were offered the banquet menu but we feel this would be far too much for us as we had a late lunch so we opted for the a la carte. We had the ricotta and this was amazing! Fluffy light cheese served with homemade sour dough bread. Then we had the lamb ribs, really nice crispy lamb in an orange glazed and the meat just melts in your mouth. We also ordered a pasta dish and the flank steak. The steak was cooked to perfection medium rare and really tender and fresh. My girlfriend ordered the cabbage salad and she enjoyed it very much as I'm not a big salad person. The dishes were small but enough for two people to shared. There's a wow factor with 121BC as the dishes seems very simple and not too complicated but very tasty. Apparently the menu changes weekly and some dishes even change daily.
Unfortunately we didn't have time for dessert as we booked tickets for the cinema. We can't wait for our next visit!
