After our delicious platter of starters, we had pretty high expectations for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately it was a little bit of hits and misses but the first dish was pleasant enough and probably my favourite of the day. Pollo FacitoVery lovely presented was the deep fried chicken breast stuffed with ricotta and spinach. Sounds like my kind of dish! Considering it was chicken breast, I was surprised how juicy and tender the meat was. The spinach stuffing was my favourite part. Light flav

Spaghetti Alla Risata: Mixed seafood in a hearty tomato sauce & baked in foilThis is definitely a comfort dish. The seafood was sufficiently fresh and the pasta sauce has a great depth of flavour with a touch of ocean. We took a little too long to get to the dish though so the pasta has softened a little bit by the time we tried it. But nonetheless pretty good pasta dish.
Wood fired oven roasted beef ribs in a reduction of red wine sauce on a bed of mashed potatoAnd here comes the red meat! I am kinda on a no red meat diet so only tried a little bit of this. The meat wasn’t tender enough for my liking but the mash was good. I think the brown sauce is also a little one dimensional for me. But my lunch companion enjoyed it.
Stinco D’Agnello: Wood fired oven braised lamb shank in a rosemary sauce on a bed ofmashed potato
Hahaha what does Stinco mean in Italian? Anyone knows? I'm not a fan of lamb and this lamb shank was quite gamey although the meat was quite tender. The brown sauce looked and tasted very similar to the beef dish though.
Pizza Frutti Di Mare Mixed Seafood, garlic, basil, tomato & mozzarellaTo be honest, I’m not a big fan of their pizzas because the crust was too fragile to handle. Basically it just breaks into small pieces when we try to get a piece out. Otherwise, the toppings tasted alright.
Pizza Vegetali RM27 – Grilled eggplant, roasted cherry tomato, pinenut, pesto, ricotta cheese, tomato & mozzarella.To cater for the vegetarian (Frank) we had the Pizza Vegetali which had a pesto base. It was much too oily for his liking though. Also, same problem with the fragile crust.
So will the dessert be good enough to save the day? Stay tuned!
