We've discovered that Peperoni is one casual Italian joint where you can get good Italian food late at night. We were hit with an Italian food craving after working out at the gym late at night and were in our sweaty gym gear, and bound by the perimeters of a casual, no dress code policy that allowed for sweaty gym gear and late-night dining hours, the choice was fairly obvious.
We had:
1) Portobello Mushroom ($18), a starter dish of a juicy whole portobello, breadcrumbed and fried, then topped off with a chunky chicken and red wine-infused brown gravy was delicious. Peppery rocket leaves help lift the slightly heavy elements of the gravy.
2) Minestrone Soup ($8) was well done, rich in flavour and depth. The clear tomato based broth was also generously filled with mixed vegetables
3) Prawn Risotto ($24) with crunchy zucchini and plentiful sliced garlic in a tangy starchy tomato sauce. The generous helping of prawns were sweet and fresh, and not in an overly alkaline crunchy way. Risotto was done al dente, soft but with the tiniest bit of bite. If I had a gripe about this dish, it would have been that there was too much garlic
4) Manzo ($21), penne tossed in a beef with peppers and onions brown gravy was like a pasta version of our local cze char beef stir-fried with oyster sauce dish.Very Asian influenced, and it was not something we particularly liked because we weren't expecting such local flavours
