Wed Oct 17 2012
From the enthusiastic welcome on entering to the complimentary shot of limoncello on leaving, Ciullosteria had the canny knack of making us feel like treasured regulars on our first visit to its intimate little premises.
An eagerness to please extends to the sheer range of dishes offered. Italian favourites of pizza and pasta feature alongside a selection of meat and fish: from calf’s liver to sea bream. Our antipasti starter was a mix of mortadella, prosciutto and bresaola, lifted by a side helping of marinated tomatoes and artichokes. Chilli-flecked, grilled spatchcock of baby chicken served with morsels of deep-fried courgette followed.
Portion sizes are challenging. There’s a ‘big is bellissimo’ ethos here and we struggled to finish an otherwise excellent beef carpaccio and truffle oil pizza. What makes the place stand out from the crowd is its five-star service. We appreciated the bottle of tap water, placed on each table as a matter of course, and the option of ordering gluten-free pasta. As a dependable local, Ciullosteria certainly delivers, as evidenced by the full tables on our Friday night visit.
