Signor Grilli review by Chris Gower
I was stuggling to know where to go for a quick bite, saw one Italian Restaurant and walked past it and saw this one. I thought "Let's give it a go".
I have to say I do not eat rubbish and I loved it in here. My brother had Spaghetti Meatballs and I had the Lasagne. Hardly classy dishes to judge an entire restaurant on but both dishes were cooked very traditionally and not like in some other places where it looks like a supermarket microwave effort.
Got chatting to the owner - he has been there 17 years, he is a big Juventus fan and he is very passionate about food. He warned the Carbonara is cooked 'the Italian Way' which is without cream, with undercooked pasta and is a dry dish - that is the traditional way apparently! Italian cooks tell me (or him) that we're wrong!
Will not be rushing down here for a massive special occasion but I would certainly return again and again for a bit of Italian grub when I fancy it. I think I've just found my haunt where I don't have to settle for a Cafe Pasta or Pizza Express chain.
This was on the money - certainly worth a whirl.
