What to order.
-
Lasagna Rustica
Sausage and fennel seed lead the first bite and it arrives piping hot; it is what couples come back for. The sharpest critic describes a half-melted mozzarella top.
8.5 Medium confidence -
Tiramisù
Comes round on the dessert tray and most diners take it happily, calling it boozy and rich. Two say the opposite: diluted, and tasting store-bought.
8.0 Medium confidence -
Spaghetti Bolognese
A big, well-priced plate of spaghetti in a meat sauce people call properly Italian. The pasta is often past al dente and the sauce thin.
