Quirinale

Sunday, September 27, 2009 - Quirinale was opened in 2002 by Nadine Gourgey. A lawyer with a lifelong love of food, Gourgey decided that the House of Commons could do with a decent Italian less than two minutes' walk away and recruited Stefano Savio as head chef...I start with a timbale of crab with broccoli and crushed olives, while Caroline has a rocket salad. Both are nice and light - a good opener to a five-course meal. The next course is better - a fillet of Scottish beef on a bed of wild mushrooms...
