What to order.
-
Lasagne (Meat) plate
Comes out of the oven piping hot and made to order for the diners who like it. It also draws the harshest writing in this set, from tinned-tasting to worse than frozen.
6.8 Early ranking -
Tortellini Carbonara
Cheese tortellini with prosciutto in an alfredo sauce, a filled-pasta plate rather than the Roman egg emulsion. Liked as fresh, generous pasta; often flagged as not a carbonara.
6.5 Medium confidence -
Pasta with Bolognese Sauce
Beef and pork with carrot, celery and garlic over the pasta you choose, fast and cheap at the counter. It can taste sweet and underseasoned.
6.1 Early ranking -
Pasta with Alfredo Sauce
Pick a pasta shape and the counter ladles Alfredo over it, for the cheapest plate in the ranking. Opinion splits between comforting and a gluey, underseasoned sauce.
