Jamie's Italian..


Jamie's Italian, Bath

Wow, it has obviously been too long since we have been to Brighton and Guildford, because I have just found out that Jamie Oliver has opened branches of Jamie's Italian in both towns, wohooo!! =) Surrounded! We actually went to the one in Bath on the second leg of our honeymoon, and it was fantastic, highly recommended! We were really lucky to get in actually, the owners of the farm/B&B we were staying at said that it was normally impossible to get a table, and it was only 2 years after it opened that they were able to get in there for a meal!

Here's some pictures of the inside..

This is the bar, right by the entrance, where you wait for your table - you can order olives and music bread to eat while you wait, but we were optimistic and just ordered a couple of cokes!:

I like these lanterns that were on the tables in the bar area..

We admired the decor while we waited for our starters to show up.. these chandeliers reminded me of the ones we had in our hotel room in Venice!

Ooh! The starter arrived! After eyeing up the musical bread in the bar, we decided to order 'WORLD'S BEST OLIVES ON ICE: Large green olives with my special black olive tapenade and music bread'
and a 'SELECTION OF TOP ITALIAN BREADS: ocaccia, ciabatta, sourdough country bread, grissini sticks and 'snappy music bread' with lemon and rosemary gremolata served with single estate extra virgin olive oil and fine balsamic vinegar'

Yum! I went out and bought some of Jamie's balsamic for home after that..

Well, we thought it would be an awful shame not to sample the puddings while we were there.. so out came the Tiramiso and Panacotta! Wow, amazing! It would be worth a trip just to try all the puddings really! =) It was a very filling and delicious dinner, it could be a real problem having two nearby now though!!
