Problem I have with many Italians here is that they just donβt compare to those in the country itself...still, will have a look at these

Bocca di Lupo is absolutely brilliant.
Grant gave me the heads up on it a couple of years ago and it properly delivered.

The risotto is served from a large hollowed-out lump of Parmesan - it's mint. Mind you, they often serve it with mushrooms - I fucking hate mushrooms.

Theyβre very keen to get you in and out of The Ivy now so they can turn the tables. Not great if you want to linger.

I'd love to see Shithouse Berkhoff-Shitneck have to eat cheese risotto with grated cheddar on out of a parmesan wheel.

Cheers though.

What did you have, Ed?
I ate some amazing Lomo while in BA. Ceviche can be good too if done right.

Ox cheek nuggets to start with the slow cooked beef short rib for main.
Bang average and the service was absolutely diabolical.

Disappointing. If they weren't cooking the meat on a hook over a flame either then they're complete charlatans.
