A meal at Alloro, Mayfair
Reading the menu on the website, I was quite keen to try it.

| Panzanella |
The service was friendly, swift and mainly, Italian, which adds to the authenticity. The wine list not very extensive and not very strong on central / southern Italian wines. Prices are a little on the steep end, with the cheapest bottle around £26. We chose a very good Falanghina Villa Matilde from Campania (£35).
@Gi_Nav liked her Linguine with Scampi and we all agreed @Linguinadc’s Agnolotti with Ragu’ were a winner.

| Fish Soup |
Our second course saw the girls both enjoy a Fish soup – I admit it looked nothing like what I used to eat in my youth, but they loved the flavours of the pan fried fish matched by the broth.
I loved my Tagliolini with squid ink – this dish usually comes drenched in olive oil, but Alloro’s version was not – it was yet again a very light and fulfilling dish with delicate flavours, enriched by fresh tomatoes and squid pieces.
We decided to stop there – we had some petit fours and paid our bill – the prices are higher than those quoted on the website (take note, webmaster!) so it felt a little too expensive (£55 each) but we had a great night with pretty good food.
