Went here for a family dinner. It is a Camden institution and I've been going here since I was a teenager. They have a pizzeria, take away and also a fancier restaurant. As you enter, it is clear from all their certificates that they've won a lot of awards for their food and service. We had a booking, which is important as it was quite busy. They brought us out water and offered some breads which we ordered the garlic bread. We had drink menus and most of us ordered soft drink or a beer. I got a green apple martini which was really nice. They also have a wide range of wines.
Tonight we skipped the entrees and just ordered mains. The menu has starters,
pastas, veal, beef and seafood. Three of the party ordered meats with different sauces (Gorgonzola, Diane and mushroom). A huge serving of meat and a generous lashing of sauce, accompanied by a bowl of vegetables. My brother got the lasagne which was absolutely delicious. I had the prawns, which was quite a lot of grilled prawns in a olive oil, wine and butter sauce with salad, again a generous serving. Husband ordered the fettuccine with seafood; had mussels, Prawns and scallops in a fresh diced tomatoes and cognac sauce. Mum had the lobster; beautifully cooked with mushrooms, cream and Cognac. Great meals, beautifully cooked. Unfortunately on this instance we were too full for dessert; but there was some
good options; gelato, tiramisu to name a few. We eat out a lot and in our perspective the prices here are quite high. Overall, service provided here was very good. read more
