Restaurant · Nottingham
A short Italian menu is the point here — a handful of dishes, pasta made fresh that day, and it shows. The anchovy spaghetti gets the most affection, the beef tortellini comes with a good rich filling, and bread often arrives free to mop up the sauce. Tiramisu is worth saving room for, and there's a lemony panna cotta too. High chairs and a kids' menu make it workable with little ones, and the outdoor tables are the easier choice with a pram or a loud toddler — inside is dimly lit, there's an upstairs room, and the kitchen can carry. Service divides people: warm and attentive on a good night, brisk and rushed on a bad one, with some families hurried along near closing. Go earlier in the evening and it's a lovely, unfussy plate of pasta.
