It seemed so quaint and secluded, and it had a very charming appeal about it. The food was generally good, and better than the average.

We liked it here. It seemed so quaint and secluded, and it had a very charming appeal about it. The food was generally good, and better than the average. Best of all, the price points of the food are cheap(er) than you'd expect of an establishment like this.
We had:
1) Parma Ham ($19) - with Italian burratina cheese and rucola salad. I loved the contrast of the soft, almost fluffy pink ribbons of salty fatty ham against the peppery crunch of the rucola leaves.I wasn't a fan of the burrata (as a matter of preference) though it was good in quality, mild, soft and a wonderful complement to the bread basket
2) Risotto ($24) - with wild mushroom, parmesan and truffle oil, was like eating a very rich and earthy mushroom soup.If you sniffed the al dente rice very hard, you get a faint whiff of truffle-scented oil infused into the dish. Otherwise, the addition of the truffle oil was negligible
3) Classic Meat Platter ($36) - a combination of chicken breast, lamb shoulder rack, pork rack, beef sirloin, pork and lamb sausages, served with mediterranean vegetables. The dish is costly, yet the meats were dry and tasteless.Even the liberal addition of chilli flakes couldn't impart sufficient flavour into the meat.We'll stick to pizzas and pastas next time round
