I love a good Italian meal, and I go to quite a lot of different Italian restaurants, but one of my favourites definitely has to be Carluccio's. They make really amazing meals and for once don't have a giant menu. I mean, I don't mind big menus, but sometimes it just gets ridiculous.
Anyway, this time happened to be in Windsor's Carluccio's with my Mum for my birthday (where my Mum also got me tons of M&S Percy Pigs) and I was ridiculously excited. I find I don't eat out that much as a uni student, so I love a good meal at a restaurant.
We had what me and my Mum pretty much always have to start which is their Bread Tin - 5 different types of home-made bread with Olive Oil and Vinegar. I don't think you can ever underestimate how much tastier bread is when it's fresh and home-made, which is why I've started experimenting with making my own!
We then tried their pasta trio to share, which was really great. We chose their Tortelloni Di Cervo (Venison filled tortelloni), Ravioli (filled with ricotta and spinach) and Spaghetti Alla Vongole In Bianco (Spaghetti with clams). They were all lovely, and just the right amount of filling, but the Tortelloni was by far my favourite. I always love meat with pasta and the venison was rich and tasty.
We never actually made it to dessert because we filled up on the rest, but from what I've had before it's fresh from their kitchen and pretty good. Drinks-wise, too, they make a great Fresh Lemonade amongst other things. I'd love to recommend wine, but I'm no expert.
