Piatto

Piatto is another Italian Restaurant located along the Northern Ring Road.  It's huge sign is not easy to miss. We've been here a couple of times. It's quite roomy, set up like an Italian piazza, but indoors.

Little water fountains are spread throughout the open areas, upstairs and down.  The brickwork reminds me of a pizza oven
and the greenery growing out of it gives a nice touch of the outdoors, too.  There were even a couple of wayward birds flitting around in the very high ceiling one evening.

It's almost possible to fill up on the bread and salad they give you before your meal.  Don't eat too much though, the rest of the food is perfectly scrummy.

Piatto is worth a visit if you're feeling hungry.  If it wasn't so far away from us (taxi fares seem to be on the increase) we would probably go more often.

La Vela

I just finished a meal at La Vela that was a little disappointing. I ordered beef, medium rare, with pepper sauce and veges. The sauce was peppery. The veges crunchy - just how I like them. The baby carrots were lovely and sweet.  The beef - overdone!  I ate it, what good Kiwi wouldn't, but overdone meat just spoils a meal, don't you think?

Fortunately, they have yummy sweets, and I can be turned by yummy sweets and good coffee...

 ---this mousse made me almost forget all about my mains.
