RAVE - La Siccia

A charming, somewhat traditional rather than trendy Italian restaurant that looks much better when you get inside.

As always is the case with Mikki and Jonny, the conversation eclipsed the meal.

I can only remember a couple of the several dishes we shared between the four of us - the proscuitto and the semolina gnocetti with pork and pecorino cheese - the latter of which was sensational.

I found the Pork Loin with olive tapenade a little heavy on the olive - curious for me seeing as I normally crave everything olive, but Jonny wolfed his down without a frown.

An exquisite Sardinian Pinot Noir "on steroids", recommended by our excellent waiter, was a delight.
