I was happy to find a friendly Italian restaurant just off the Elizabeth Line east of Canary Wharf. It's close to the university, so in certain times you'll be crowded by students. But this weeknight it was pleasant and spacious.
Of course Italian beer was on the menu, so I partook. Bruschetta is always a top choice, and their take with cherry tomatoes was unique and delicious. You can't go wrong wjth burrata w/ rockets either.
The mains are of course pasta, and so many choices mean you could almost close your eyes and point. Tonight I went with lasagna, but risotto or gnocchi looked tempting. Also they have some creative additions like Crespoline (stuffed pancakes with cheese, spinach, sauce).
If you're not feeling Italian tonight, pick from many traditional English delicacies such as "fish and chips" or "The Club Sandwich".
I was way too full for dessert, but had I partaken, it would have been gelato or sorbet all the way.
I'll return next time I'm on the trek East. read more
