Bistro Benito review by Anon

We've recently moved to the area and with the final advent of summer have started to explore the bars and restaurants. They are a mixed bag but there are some stars amongst them and Bistro Benito is one of them. Its very traditional in style (not as slick as Zizzi which we also like) but the food is plentiful, fresh and well-cooked. So far we have tried Calamari, Linguini with clams, Grilled Sardines and whitebait for starters and Pork Hock, Lamb Shank and (my favourite) Saltimbocca for main course and haven't been disappointed once. Desserts are home-made and the slabs of chocolate cake and carrot cake topped with ice cream are delicious. The best thing is 3 courses for two people with a good bottle of Chianti (c. £15 though house red is quite a bit cheaper) never comes to more than £55. Not bad for K&C.
