felicini
This is a chain serving “Italian-inspired cuisine” which is limited (they’ve only seven eateries) to the northwest and the Midlands, interestingly. They pride themselves in preparing their menu from the freshest of ingredients and since I had time to spare whilst the garage was replacing my S40’s control unit, I thought of giving this place a try since I was somewhat famished by then.

Being the boring sod I am, I had the dough balls for the antipasti – nothing new there, especially if you’re a fan of Pizza Express, although I daresay the serving of garlic butter was more generous here. I felt like a risotto and I noticed a crayfish risotto in the chef’s special of the day. The serving was just right, portion-wise, topped with fresh rocket. They didn’t stinge on the crayfish and for once, the cream wasn’t too overpowering. Finished the meal with a Malteser choc shake (large crushed chunks of it) and I’ve to say the place is worth a re-visit, especially when it’s only five minutes from my house!
