EMPORIO DELLA PASTA AT CROWN


On a night out with my friends, we were meant to go to Kitchen Workshop but instead ended up at this restaurant. The food is quite good, I really enjoyed the pizza though. There's something that's different in the taste of wood-fire pizza, I think it tastes more genuine italian if that makes any sense. My friends and I all ordered different meals so we could try each other's food. 

The lamb was a little bland but it was a bigger portion than I had expected from a place like that which was good. I think it needed a little more flavour or at least a little more sauce to spice it up. Being Vietnamese, our traditional cuisines have a hit of flavour and quite often it is known to have a thousand flavours in one dish which is why I found the lamb dish a little tasteless. 

Brasto di agnello alle erbe - Braised Lamb with herbs, saffron fregola, brocollini
Woodfire Margherita Pizza

Pollo alla griglia con salvia - Grilled Chicken, mashed potato, green beans and crispy pancetta with creamy sauce
There were about twenty of us and we took up a whole private dining area. Most of the others ordered Porterhouse steak but I didn't really hear much about how it tasted. The service was exceptional and I enjoyed watching the waiters serve three plates or more every time. It's really fascinating for me because I would never be able to do such things but maybe with practice over time would do the trick.
