Mr Francatelli

We booked at the last minute at Mr Francatelli as I had been busy with the count at the local council elections. I was tired, and I was in no mood to cook myself. My wife however, knew a restaurant near her work that she had been eyeing up for a while, so we went along

My wife picked the Girasoli Mare, filled with crab and prawn, and served with a cherry tomato sauce. I selected the Pappardelle Porcini e Salsiccia, pasta with porcini mushrooms and Italian sausage. The pasta was well-made, and a little al-dente. I usually like it more al-dente than my wife, but we both enjoyed it.

With our meal, we shared a bottle of a Welsh rosé, which complemented it well.

We were in the mood for pudding, for which we enjoyed a Tiramisu to share which came served in a mini mocha pot.

Mr Francatelli served good Italian food, and not fussy. It was slightly on the pricier side, but that is not really a surprise in Westminster.
