Papa Ciccio’s

Went last night. meal was very nice waiters very friendly we had some sort of omelette starter (very tasty) sea bass and rack of lamb. Lamb was very fatty but tasty also (i like fat (and brackets)). The Bill came to £50 nearly so will check their prices next time. We had 1 tiramisu which was very light and fluffy but didn’t taste home made because it was so light and tasted like cake mix. Reminded me of when I worked in a bakery, and 1 coffee. Very nice but expensive at about £19 for a main course and £1.50 to unscrew your wine for you. I suppose its better than charging £10 for a £3 bottle of wine. Wouldn’t stop me going again because the food was nice but will not go often. I suppose i’d do the same if I could. The fact that it has been there as long as it has tells a story. I am going to try the one just a bit up the road next whos name escapes me. It always looks empty which is worrying. A Villa Caruso or something.

This great little place has been going since the eighties and it has a very popular following. Sardinian chef.
Small but warm and homely. The food has always been excellent, last time I went was about 3 months ago, I had a pepper stuffed with chickpeas, vegetables and herbs smothered in a creamy spicy sauce for starters and an excellent sea bass for mains accompanied by fresh roasted vegtables and mixed salad. It was so nice I am thinking about it now!
The place is not licensed so BYO, there are 3 off licences within yards of the place, you have to book because it’s not very big and gets a full sitting most nights.
