Carpaccio review by Melinda
Ate at Carpaccio last night with my partner. Avoided the crowds by dining mid-week, so while I can see that it would feel crowded when all tables were full our evening was fine. Shared two starters: fried zucchini (courgette) sticks were lightly breaded and not greasy, a nice surprise. The second starter was a ball of VERY fresh buffalo mozzarella. Would have liked it if the tomatoes were garden-fresh v/s greenhouse, but not bad for Feb in London. Mains were a daily special canneloni with crab and langoustine, two approx 8-inch long canneloni with a light bechamel-type sauce. My partner is particular about his food, and he REALLY liked this dish. Note that the filling was proper seafood, not fillers with a dash of seafood. I had the tagilata di manzo (filet of beef, thinly sliced) which was perfectly medium rare, with a rocket and cherry tomato salad. I literally was able to cut the beef with my fork, and it had excellent flavour. We both got a glass of Montepulciano wine, which was also good. Dessert was shared panna cotta, which was made with real vanilla and not too much sugar. Service was great, food was great, price was high though. I would love to go back often, but could not afford the bill more than a couple of special nights per year (anniversary/birthday type of thing).
