RAVE - Capannina

Outstanding food. It may just make up for the place, which has the feel of your gran's sitting room - if she's into chintzy red velour and lacy curtains.

Despite the middle-aged vibe thrown off by the room, and the bulk of the diners last night, the kitchen staff and team of waiters made it a wonderful evening for our party of four.

My Calamari Ripieni Con Granchio (fresh Monterey Calamari stuffed with Crab and Potato) was fabulous, and my Puntine di Manzo Brasate al Vino Rosso (Braised Short Ribs with mashed potatoes in a red wine sauce) was smooth and tasty - so smooth in fact that the ribs melted in my mouth just like the mashed potato!

My better half similarly enthused about her pasta, and our friends sounded equally pleased with their choices.

Capannina is a traditional Italian restaurant serving wonderful food in a room that's comfortable enough for the retiree in us all.
