The Italian

This was a few weeks ago. We went to The Italian somewhere in the city and had excellent food.

The good thing about high end restaurants is that the provide you with bread to eat. Free bread. And their dips are usually very nice as well. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the bread.

Our starters were chilli mussels and salmon carpaccio. Both were extremely good. The chilli mussels had a very tasty soupy base, and I absolutely love salmon with the fresh gardeny flavours.

Yellowfin tuna for the main. With some pesto sauce I think.

And the other main, the only dish which I have the full name for. It was also very good, but for the moment, I don’t know how to describe good food apart from saying it was ‘very good’ or ‘truly excellent’ or ‘absolutely amazing’, which doesn’t say very much.

And tiramisu to round it all off.

Very good.
