Few weeks ago I walked by this restaurant on High Street and was attracted by its European country deco so decided to try the food there with my friends.Luckily I made reservation as it was full house that Thursday; having said that, the restaurant is of small size which can accommodate only about 20 people. It's cozy though, feeling like enjoying food at home.A gentleman there nicely led us to a table and gave us a name card, his title is "The Host" of the restaurant, so I suppose he is the ow
Luckily I made reservation as it was full house that Thursday; having said that, the restaurant is of small size which can accommodate only about 20 people. It's cozy though, feeling like enjoying food at home.
A gentleman there nicely led us to a table and gave us a name card, his title is "The Host" of the restaurant, so I suppose he is the owner and apparently he is an Italian. (So I expected the food to be truly authentic )
The Host gave us a brief introduction of the menu and recommended a good wine Primitivo (of coz it's Italian wine ) Four of us finished 2 bottles. I am not wine expert but we did not feel drunk and finished the last sip!!
Each of us then ordered 4 courses including dessert (the portion was just good although my friends kept saying very full and I insisted to finish the meal with a dessert and let me share more about their dessert later!)
I started with an appetizer called Caponatina – recommended by the Host as it’s light to go with my 2nd main course Lamb. Caponatina is a very appetizing and refreshing vege dishes so it’s a good start with my meal!
Then my first main course was “Vincisgrassi” (not sure if I spell it right) recommended by the Host as well. I must tell you, this was soooooo delicious and it was something like Lasagna BUT indeed it was not because it was so much delicious than the cheesy one that we usually have out there!! The meat that they put in the layer was braised for 3 hours so it was so tender and yummy!!! In fact I don’t have a word to describe how delicious it was!!!!
My 2nd main course was Lamb, which also tasted good, but it would be better if it could be a bit more tender and juicy. Perhaps I was a bit full already =p Yet I was still so tempted to try their dessert due to their recommendation and its English name called “English Soup” (A very complicated Italian name called something like Zuppa xxxx) I was told this was one of the dish for the Queen long time ago!
It was superb!!! I can tell you Tiramisu is just NOTHING!! Again, no word can describe - soft, light, refreshing, memorable and everything!! The dinner ended with such an impeccable dessert, amazing!!
I highly recommend this small Italian caffe. I started to realize what Italian food are and where they truly come from. It’s not about traditional pizza nor pasta anymore!!
