Smallman1 Gone right off Jay Rayner.

In that review he admits rating Piccolino, the most bang average Italian chain imaginable.

      Mad_Cyril Agree Dave, not a patch on Bella Pasta

      They’re all over the North West. I’m sure you’ll have been to one, and also experienced the crushing disappointment when a mate or colleague has invited you to their birthday and then announced the venue as Piccolino.

          I’m sure Peter Piccolino doesn’t give a fuck.

          Can remember when they only had 2 restaurants, now they’re in every half arsed lifestyle tourist shithole.

          Magnet for Range Rover evoke driving orange people though

            I picked a pack of pickled peppers at Peter piccolinis once…

            Had some late night tacos from Taqueria Sinaloa. In the absolute ghetto with prostitutes and pimps everywhere but can’t beat the eats.

              The one is Oakland is also like GTA. Here’s a crime map of prostitution arrests from the past two weeks. Sinaloa is right there on 22nd and International.

              It’s a problem!

                  jonattonyeah I’m going back again this week to order a few things I couldn’t fit. That does look good, their meat is so good.

                    LT42 is that the Hamdi next to the spice market and Bosphorus? Loved that place…. And want to visit Istanbul again ASAP

                        Jules72 not that one, Jules. This one is in Kadiköy. Not sure if its a chain. To be fair, all those old Donercis are fucking top, there’s so many of them.

                          Already one in Manchester actually 💪

                          Looks absolutely horrific.

                          Cheers.

                          Smallman1 Ed went to a top London Italian and basically had the spag bol and a tiramisu. Garlic bread to start was it?

                              Breadsticks to start followed by the head chef coming up to lead a restaurant wide rendition of Zucchero and Paul Young’s - Senza Una Donna, some night!

                                Smallman1 Si, MC, if you need a translation, just let me know!

                                Superb bants, brother! This board needs more fun time Eddie!

                                  “No more pain and no sorrow…!”

                                  Smallman1 As was the tiramisu’ di fragole e Champagne

                                  Isn’t tiramisu usually made with mascarpone cheese?

                                  How are you not dead yet?!

                                      Also wouldn’t the ragu come with parmigiano? It’s often melted in towards the end of cooking.
