Cheap Italian
Unpretentious, friendly, welcoming. Three words that are rarely used to describe restaurants a week before Christmas. They can be applied to this family-run trattoria on Chatham Lane, even if the plastic tablecloths put the fear of God into granny. We start with the antipasto selection of cold cut meats and olives (€9.50). The olives are so-so, but the Parma ham is seriously delicious. (We’ve all been a victim of those salty strips of leather which are all too often served as Parma.) We follow with pizzas and a half bottle of the house red. Both fine. Tables are close together, so there is great earwigging potential if you are a budding social anthropologist/nosey parker.
