Who? My parents
Food Style? Italian
Nothing to do with the Sicilian Mafia! This cosy Italian restaurant on Tinakori Road is a hit with the locals, serving hearty, rustic pasta, pizza and larger dishes too. I'm here with my parents, who are visiting from Auckland.
Pizza Bianca
Pizza bread brushed with garlic, rosemary and parmesan
The pizza bread is simple but full of that wonderful garlic and olive oil flavour. That nice sprinkle of rosemary really gives it a freshness that lifts it from ordinary to delightful.
Stinco D'Agnello
Slow cooked lamb shank in a red wine jus, served with mashed potatoes and seasonal greens
The sauce is fantastic - rich, delicious, flavoursome. The meat isn't as soft as it could be, but still enjoyable. I loved how the potatoes had absorbed all the goodness of the jus. This was an excellent dish.
Chocolate Lava Cake
Wow. This hit the spot. It was gorgeously molten and thick and rich, so decadent. It was maybe even too much, a coulis or some fruit to cut through would have been nice. Nevertheless, I had a great time with this.
