Restaurant review: Caldesi in Campagna, Bray - Telegraph

Review analysis
food   staff   drinks   ambience  

You have heard of The Fat Duck and The Waterside Inn, two of four British restaurants with the maximum three stars, and also perhaps of the Hind’s Head, a Heston Blumenthal gastropub which popularised ultra-traditional native cooking and brilliantly reinvented the egg.

The first, matching real delicacy to big flavour, was a septet of incredibly light ravioli filled with sea bass, and ringed by a beautiful lemon butter sauce.

“Old boy, that’s remarkably good,” said Nick, who lived in Turin for years and knows his pasta.

A core strength of Italian cooking is the use of very few ingredients and corresponding simplicity, as evident in my calves’ liver.

Yet only when Andy Murray dropped the histrionics and stopped coasting during matches, as Lendl would confirm, did he make that final leap from the very good to the undeniably great.

There's a fair bit of flexibility at Giancarlo and Katie Caldesi's Marylebone Italian - a ground floor bar-cum-café keeps things informal, and a first floor restaurant offers a la carte options for those after something a little smarter.

There's also a cookery school in the mews round the back, and they even organise cooking holidays in Giancarlo’s native Tuscany, should you fancy a jaunt.

The ground floor venue concentrates on accessible Italian dishes – think caprese salads, bresaola, fritto misto, spaghetti alla puttanesca and veal Milanese.

They're served alongside Campari cocktails, bellinis, negronis and a house chilli vodkatini – made with homemade chilli vodka and extra dry Martini.

The upstairs dining room is a little more ambitious, with dishes ranging from North Atlantic scallops with textures of Jerusalem artichoke to tuna tartare with trevigiano, fennel and pomegranate salad, braised lamb shank alla Romana and a black ink taglioni with busara prawns, chilli, garlic and tomato.
