Although Jamie's isn't part of the free and dynamic meal package, my boyfriend and I were still interested in trying Jamie's Italian since Jamie Oliver is part of Food Network. On our third evening, we had dinner for a night away from his family.
We made and came for our reservation at 6PM and dinner was $30 per person. I really liked the restaurant because it was comfortable, casual, hip and spacious. It was very different from the restaurants that are available in the dynamic meal package. The staff were very friendly and nice. Our server was very friendly and helpful and made recommendations of what we should order and try.
We ordered the following appetizers:
Crispy Squid (fried squid with garlic mayonnaise, lemon & chilli) - the crispy squid was delicious and fried to golden perfection.
Proscuitto & Melon - this was amazing and delicious! It complimented each other very well.
Baked Chestnut Mushrooms - the baked chestnut mushrooms was delicious and filled with king oyster, Paris brown mushrooms in a baked chestnut crust. It was insanely delicious and crunchy. In my opinion, it felt like a mushroom pie.
Rocket Parmesan Salad - we realized we didn't have much vegetables in our meal, so we ordered an additional salad that was tasty ,simple, and rustic!
We were also given their complimentary ultimate garlic bread which was warm artisan buttermilk buns, herby garlic butter, Bella Lodi & rosemary. The ultimate garlic bread was fluffy, moist, and delicious! This was possibly one of the best garlic breads I've had so far.
For entrees, we had:
Caprese Risotto - this was fairy delicious at the beginning, but later on it got pretty salty so that's why I didn't finish it. However, I did like that it was bright and warm colors and inviting.
Taglitatelle Bolognese - this is from Gennaro's original pork & beef Bolognese receipe slowly cooked with red wine and served with herby breadcrumbs and Parmesan. This dish was mediocre and I've definitely had better.
For desserts, we had Tiramisu and cheesecake which were both mediocre.
Overall it was fun experience at Jamie's Italian and I am glad we got to try it. Looking forward to trying it again! read more
