A modern Italian restaurant at The Royal Festival Hall, London - Strada
Succulent buffalo mozzarella interleaved with ripe tomatoes, bruschetta pomodoro, parma ham, salami, speck and a tasty olive tapenade made for a great first course.
A pasta dish with Luganica sausage, pancetta, and broccoli, with red chilli was eye-wateringly spicy, but a creamy risotto with butternut squash offset that, so you should have both dishes at the same time… Second mains were a whole fish, cooked to perfection so it melted in the mouth, served with rosemary potatoes.
I love a rosemary potato, and this dish was a real taste of the mediterranean.
Veal saltimboca was equally good, wrapped in parma ham (there’s a theme here) and sitting atop creamy mash potato - real comfort food and perfect for this time of year.
The dessert was a new one on me, but the combination of chocolate and amaretto is a winning one in my book, and this boozy dessert was just the sort of thing I like at the end of a meal.
