Puccini - Fresh Food Served 12:00-15:00 & 18:00 - 23:00

Puccini

(18 reviews)

Another restaurant that I'd go to if I was passing but wouldn't go out of my way to get to…read more Its a pretty small venue that feels a little bit cramped though it suits the style of food they sell. Its Mediterranean tapas or pizza's, so good food to share. I've had lovely calzone's from Puccini and its a good lunch spot for me really as you can relax on a sofa and enjoy a light bite. The service is fine and its quite cheap too, it just doesn't have much of a wow factor.

Puccini is an old-school style restaurant that is not trying to be new-fangled and faddy, and for…read morethis I love it! The rather curious and somewhat questionable look of the place has been created with longevity in mind. I can oly assume that the owners have probably paid handsomely for the rather naff mural, of what looks like it could be the Amalfi Coast, with a curiously positioned arch in the foreground, (the kind you train creepers and roses on, but I can't recall what they are called...!). This would perhaps be less of a faux pas if it were painted on one of the garden walls, but instead, this lurid, ill-conceived, badly rendered piece of art covers the full extent of one of the interior walls. Perfect! I guess that they decided that the mural might up-stage the sizeable statuette of David that they have in the garden?! Love it, love it, love it! This is not to say that I don't appreciate high design, I do! But I would hate for everywhere to look the same. Besides which, corporate homogenisation of interior design is usually little better than appalling. Sports pubs, family pubs with their awful carveries on Sundays, fast food chains and supermarket cafes all make my skin creep! Give me Puccini any day of the week! Their mural may not have been painted with the skill of the Sistine Chapel, but I bet they thought long and hard about it, and chose a subject dear to their hearts. Yes, I guess it would be true to say I have disparaged it somewhat, but that's simply because it is not to my taste. I don't profess to be an arbiter of the urbane, I simply offer my opinion for what it's worth. And, I like things that are naff in the way I perceive the art to be naff at Puccini's. Anyway, the food! All can be forgiven for the food. Reasonably priced and homemade, with a good varied menu, and attempting to cater to everybody's tastes, Puccini's is a decent little eatery in it's class. But I go there just to ogle the mural!

I can never visit enough Greek restaurants truth be told. I may have mentioned this before but Feta…read morecheese is the greatest invention. Feeling light that day I decided to go for the greek salad. Ripe red tomatoes with beautiful leafy type things drizzled in olive oil. It's clear I don't have salad often but by Jove's it was tasty, a word I thought I wouldn't use in my life. The staff were fantastic and had a great laugh with them as I tried my very broken Greek with them.

When trying new foods, I find there are two different modes of thought regarding how to go about…read moreit. The first, possibly more sensible option, is to go to a restaurant that has been recommended by a trusted friend, or to a restaurant that is known for catering to people unaccustomed to the cuisine. This is certainly safer, as you're trying foods you already have an idea on, and probably know you'll enjoy. The second, stupider and my preferred method, is to drive passed a place, say "I've never eaten that kind of food before. Let's go there tomorrow!" and refuse to hear any arguement on the subject. What this lacks in common sense, it more than makes up for in excitement. You may wander into a restaurant and having one of the best eating experiences of you life! Or you may have chosen to eat at a poorly advertised dry cleaners, and end up embarrassing your girlfriend and the owners of the establishment. Normally though, my method serves me well more often than not. Aphrodite was one of the occasions when it didn't so much. I found the food a little bland and uninspiring. However, I have since discovered that it may be because I don't like Greek food. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great though, so if Greek cuisine is more your thing, you'll have a great time.

This Mediterranean-style coffee shop serves some reasonably tasty food either as take away or to…read moresit in, and is also a shisha cafe - with some seats out at the front for those who want to smoke. For this purpose, however, its City Road location isn't ideal, being busy and rather uninspiring. If you're going to inhale smoke from a water pipe, however, you can hardly get worked up over a few exhaust fumes - but the view could be better. I've recently noticed a sign on their window saying they have a rear garden, so that may be more pleasant for al fresco coffees and a smoke? Appealing to the local student population, Sahara also do baguettes and cold drinks.

Sahara is a popular café and shisha place on City Road. Frequented by the locals and students alike…read moreit remains a busy and vibrant low cost eatery with quite a lot to offer. There's terrace seating out front and a great garden out the back, as well as plenty of seating in the main café itself. The staff are really friendly, and all share a great sense of humour, making a night out here a pleasant and relaxing one. The Mediterranean food isn't half bad, and being supplemented with things like baguettes, there's something to suit everyone's tastes. This is definitely the place to chill and experiment with shisha if you are so inclined. I love the waft of strawberry flavoured tobacco that infuses the cool night air in the garden at the rear. Top marks to this friendly bunch of affable people... and because of their good nature I rate them the best shisha bar in town!

I actually only tried out this place for delivery because Mezza Luna was unfortunately unavailable (I'm guessing they didn't have any drivers since it was a NYE) but already had my mind set on Mediterranean food. While definitely not as good as my beloved Mezza Luna, Saray is still a decent option to try out. -- Incik (Kleftico) -- £9.00 "Oven baked lamb shank with mixed vegetables, served with mash potatoes." Unfortunately, Saray forgot the mashed potatoes part so I just ate it with some rice ordered with another dish. Still, the lamb was very lovely. I'm a huge fan of lamb shank and Saray definitely does it right! Beautifully tender with lovely sauce; the onions and carrots were succulent and sweet as well. Huge portions and a filling dish well worth the money. -- Kalamar -- £3.50 This is battered calamari, and very delicious (though I may be biased since I'm a huge calamari fan). Just the right texture and taste. Wonderful! -- Hummus & Bread -- £2.00 The hummus was just standard hummus, nothing amazing. But what WAS amazing was the beautiful bread! Huge with toasted sesames on top, it had a fantastic texture! I'm usually not crazy about bread and can't imagine it being really good, but Saray definitely proved me wrong there. Seriously, try the bread. --- Overall I definitely am impressed with Saray. Everything I've tried was very tasty and came at affordable prices.
