Dianne had the Gorgonzola Gnocchi, not on the menu, but available if you ask for it nicely. It’s somehow light and cheesy at the same time and the home made gnocchi is so so good.
I went for the Spag Bol this time. Couldn’t help myself. Big serving, great value at $14.
Nanami went for the Spaghetti Picante. Anchovies, chilli and bread crumbs made for a taste and texture explosion.
Felix went for their signature dish, the Parpadelle with Duck Ragu.
Tiramisu was the lightest and naughtiest I’ve had to date. Delicious!
Panna cotta was awesome too.
Had a long overdue catch-up with Di and Felix last night. Di being the foodie we hit Il Baretto in Surry Hills for some real deal home styles Italian food. I knew it was going to be a busy night. We got there just past 7PM, the place was packed as expected and we were going to have to wait 1.5hrs if we were to get a table.
We decided to wait it out, the pub across the road was way too packed so we hit Tokonoma Lounge on Crown St. for a drink and a snack. Lovely interior design, sorry no photo as the manager gave me the no no, dangerous place to be in though, $20 cocktails will rape your wallet hard before you know it!
At 8.50PM we were still waiting for our table, out in the cold (and getting very cold). We finally got our table and the staff were quick to bring us a serving of Bruschetta, on the house to apologise for the long wait (lovely!).
Despite the long wait, food and company were great :)
