Reviewing a VERY EXPENSIVE ITALIAN RESTAURANT!

[@SCCL1000]

I am of Italian descent, and I nearly wept as you dined. My Grandmother was a gifted cook, indeed a chef for wealthy Parisian family before WWII when she had to leave. Every dish was simply presented of the very best ingredients, exquisitely done with a deft hand. She did everything but desserts. We had fruit in season, ice cream in winter. Oh, but you brought back a flood of memories. Mille Grazia.

[@geoffpoole483]

I think "unpretentious" is the best way to describe Italian food. What makes Italian food stand out is the quality of the ingredients.

[@georgebethune7315]

That pasta looked great 👍

I'm curious Gary, why not 10/10? You normally explain your score. I reckon, since I can never get there, I'm going to buy some oxtail and try making it, I'll never be as good as that chef (it was so nice of him/her to comment on your post) but hopefully, it'll be halfway decent!

[@stevenphillips4494]

Great ingredients don’t need a place to hide. From the little touches of oil, basil and quality bread, to the pork belly and then the past every element of that meal stood out as first class.

My wife of 49yrs is Italian and she is the best thing that as happened to me, Italian cooking is the best in my opinion, in the early 80s my wife took to me italy to visit her auntie's and uncles about an hour away from Naples in Campania,there had been an earthquake about 6 months previous and her auntie's house although just about safe to live in was in a right state with no running water gas or electricity and all cooking was done on a wood fired stove so we ate by candle light, that meal of ragout with rigatoni pasta was the tastiest meal ive ever had in my life they were such nice people and never moaned about the situation they were just happy to be alive, thats why i not only love my wife but also the Italian people, they keep food simple, even in this day and age i can give my missus a fiver and she would make a meal for the four of us, it would be simple but delicious and tasty, great video as normal Gary, its a 10 from me. Cheers mate..( by the way after a while they were rehoused in a modern flat)

That’s an absolutely fantastic story, Harold and well done to both of you. You seem like a lovely couple thank you very much for your comment and have a wonderful weekend.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Lovely story Harold. True love and homemade gourmet cooking. Can’t beat that. I moved to France in 2008. Met a lovely French girl. But she loves British culture. So I explained the concept of a proper steak and ale pie. Or a proper roast. She LOVES all that. I love French cheese, bread and red wine. Sometimes called the Holy Trinity 😊. But her mum does a lovely roast chicken with roast chestnuts and a sauce (not really a gravy) made with échalotes. The spuds are local but she boils them. I suggested roasting the spuds in the sauce! Ooh! You don’t tell the matriarch how to knock up a roast chicken! That was me out on my place 😊

Another great review. I'm lucky enough to have Italian friends who live just outside Rome. The whole family lives in a 4 storey house with an apartment for each family on each floor. In the basement is the huge kitchen where Nona Alvira (sadly no longer with us) used to rule the roost. This restaurant reminded me of her cooking. One or two simple ingredients, but the best and well done. My husband and I drove to Rome via a lot of the Spanish regions. We were thinking of a gift to buy for the family. What's the best gift for Italians? Food, of course! So we bought regional foods and wines from every region we drove through, and made a hamper. Alvera's eyes were so wide when we gave the hamper to her. And do you know, something of everything we had bought was incorporated into every meal we had with them for our stay. It's the Italian way 😁❤

Thank you very much Tel as always, you are completely right. I couldn’t give it a perfect 10 due to the price point you have a wonderful weekend and speak soon. Take care.

For an Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge the prices are not too bad and the food looked amazing 🤩 great review Gary and your son in the cameraman job .

[@GaryEats]

I hope you have a fantastic time when you visit Martin. Please let me know if you get a chance.

[@martinwilliams5681]

@@GaryEats Hi again Gary, ok, as requested a quick review of what i thought, quite small place but i found that quite romantic, service was very attentive, good glass of wine & the montanara was spot on on the whole Gary i would certainly go again.

[@manofthehour_]

Just discovered your channel recently and it’s brought back memories of my recent secondment in London.
Big fan of the down to earth and unpretentious style of your videos. Absolute class act.

[@GaryEats]

That is very kind and appreciated thank you very much

[@agentul009]

Italian food is the best! Food looked delicious.

[@GaryEats]

It was absolutely excellent

[@GIBBO4182]

Looks like a top, top end restaurant. Nice as a treat or special occasion

[@GaryEats]

Completely spot on

[@kitezzz360]

The beauty of Italian food is the simplicity

[@GaryEats]

Agreed

[@kateking1980]

Must give this a try next time we are in London! Adore good Italian food. Thanks for another fantastic review Gary! ❤

[@GaryEats]

You definitely won’t be disappointed, Kate, as this is a wonderful restaurant x

[@meisterlymanu5214]

"id like a frying pan of pasta please. No, no plate. Just whack it in front of me right off the hob".

[@GaryEats]

Lol!

[@richardmarkham8369]

I'm getting the feeling that this meal was just a bit better than the Greggs sausage roll!

[@geoffpoole483]

I think it's a close call, personally!

[@GaryEats]

Hmmm don't know about that Richard lol

[@MwahMwahProductions]

@@geoffpoole483 I think the locacation of Greggs might've swung it fo me!

[@HowardOfficial]

& a bit more expensive

[@dm7761]

Porchetta is a very time involved process to make..not a simple dish. The braising and time involved in that gorgeous pasta dish..is something to savor. A meal may have simple ingredients but it is in the love and care..proper preparation that comes through generations . Worth every penny!

[@GaryEats]

I have to agree completely 💯👌

[@barrygrigg9068]

Looked lovely Gary. That’s a treat worth waiting for. My 60th coming up I might give it a go.

[@GaryEats]

Firstly, happy birthday for when it happens, Barry and if you visit here, you won’t be disappointed

[@user-ki5qi7kg9f]

My favourite food…Italian, looking forward to this one ❤

[@GaryEats]

Hope you enjoy!!

[@patrickwong4824]

Where you are seated Gary, I was people-watching while they walk by during your video. 81 people plus 2 babies 2 dogs and 2 cyclists went by while you ate.
Yes, I was still paying attention to the lovely Italian food.

[@GaryEats]

Wow, great counting lol no doubt more but because of editing

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

lol 😂

[@BrianSinai]

What a wonderful meal. The genius of simplicity and the confidence to let the ingredients speak for themselves. 👍

[@GaryEats]

I agree with you completely Brian 100%

[@qwerty69600]

Very good value given location and quality of food.

[@GaryEats]

I agree with you completely

[@jasonfraser147]

Never really fancied Italian food. Tried it recently, some of the tastiest food I've ever eaten 👍

[@CheshireCat6639]

I had a holiday in 94,Sorrento..i fell in love with Italy and their food...prawn tag is my fave🎉Hope u try more dishes out and find ure fave🎉

[@GaryEats]

It's very very nice Jason!

[@rundattmedia2106]

My grandfather is Italian but my grandmother is English. I was born in England, Kent in 1985 and have always been brought up on Italian food. I've been to Italy many many times and love it there. Some Italian restaurants in England are good but to get the best experience you need to visit Italy. I love my British food though but I recommend everyone try Italian food. It's beautiful, delicious and up there with the best cuisines in the world.

[@colinjennings3661]

Italian food and wine are the best in the world.

[@CheshireCat6639]

​@@rundattmedia2106 Absolutely agree with you ❤ Italy

[@Tsjoepke]

well Gary i don't want to make you jaleous but i was a trucker who rode every week to Italy. There we unloaded en reloaded and did some deliveries befrore we drove back home. We always went to a little restaurant near parma where 'la mama' cooked and her husband served . Everything was fresh and the bread she baked herself. They even made their own Limoncello. The man himself had a very strange hobby, he went from farm to farm around Parma in search of the best ham he could buy and when he found a ham to his satisfaction he was so proud that he walked in his restaurant carrying the ham like a baby. After everybody praised him enouch he took his knife a made slices that were so thin you could see throu them. but omg what a taste! So now for the part to make you jaleous lol. we had all the Lambrusco or prosecco we wanted,as much bread as we wanted, frsh grated parmacheese,3 dishes and after the souper all the limoncello we could drink for 10 pound hahahahahahaha well that was an eleven out of ten ;)

[@GaryEats]

You've made me very very jealous, how did you enjoy travelling?

[@Tsjoepke]

@@GaryEats well when you drive around with a 24 meter long truck loaded with cars in the innercity of london,paris milan or brussels you can hardly speak in terms of travelling hahahahaha i had once the privelege to deliver cars on a british mail site in the inner city of london where i only could get on the terrain driving in a certain way and i can asure you when they are talking about 'cold sweat' i fully understand the meaning of those words :) best regards and i wish you a very big and healthy appetite

[@GreenDistantStar]

Your honest and down-to-Earth reviews are always delightful viewing, Gary. This restaurant is good value, the value-equation being (what you get) / (what it costs). And we all deserve a treat now and again 😋

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much

[@kennethausten]

Done it again Gary. Incredible to know good genuine restaurants still exist. Not bad pricing for that part of London. I love oxtail. Not something I have often.. Was regular as a child. Thanks again.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you ever so much, I really appreciate it Kenneth

[@alanbarnes3569]

Hi Gary, glad to see normal service has been resumed after that farcical trip to Greggs!! I thought the way you described that food and the flavours was very comprehensive. If I had my eyes closed and listened to your narrative I would know exactly what was on the plate. Excellent 👍 thanks Alan

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Alan, that means a lot as I try to make everyone feel as if they're there tasting the food

[@stevenphillips4494]

But that’s what makes Gary’s reviews stand out! You get everything from Greggs to celebrity chefs with local run cafes and fish & chip shops in between, all reviewed and delivered with the same enthusiasm and honesty. Never change or cut out the every day food reviews Gary .

[@HowardOfficial]

Not sure why Greggs was farcical?

[@walterekurtz4320]

One of the (many) strengths of Gary's channel is that he reviews every type of restaurant, cafe, fast food outlet, etc, on their own merit. He was as fair to Gregg's as he was to Osteria Romana. You can only reasonably compare high-end with high-end, mid-range with mid-range and budget with budget.

[@rogercooke4589]

Farcical?

[@dalebaker5030]

casually having harry findlay walk behind you and not even noticing at 7 minutes :o

[@GaryEats]

I didn't notice Dale lol

[@dannorth3138]

You tried Trevi Ristorante, Islington Gary?
