I
would
describe
Giardini
di
Sorrento
as
a
cosy
down
to
earth
Italian.
To
start
we
ordered
Pane
Aglio
e
Mozzarella.
Upon
its
arrival
we
were
presented
with
a
plate
of
four
squares
of
soft
lightly
toasted
ciabatta
bread.
This
was
generously
doused
in
garlic,
olive
oil
and
mozzarella
cheese.
You
will
see
from
the
picture
this
was
served
with
no
thrills.
It
was
simply
placed
on
a
thin
bed
of
rocket.
It
didn’t
need
anything
else,
it
delivered
what
was
expected
in
terms
of
flavour.
For
mains
we
had:
Paccheri
pasta
with
creamy
sauce
mixed
with
pancetta
and
walnuts.
This
was
definitely
the
star
of
the
show.
Risotto
with
tomato
sauce,
n’duja,
burrata
topped
with
one
leaf
of
basil.
This
dish
was
certainly
not
for
faint
hearted.
The
n’duja
added
a
right
kick
to
the
dish
which
the
burrata
struggled
to
temper.
It
was
difficult
to
focus
on
any
other
flavours
as
they
were
disguised
by
the
spicy
meat.
The
dish
would
have
benefited
from
more
burrata
and
basil.
That
being
said
the
risotto
rice
was
cooked
perfectly.
Our
chosen
bottle
for
this
meal
was
a
Colle
Al
Vento
Primitivo
di
Manduria.
This
was
a
lush,
dark
berry
fruity
full-bodied
red
and
was
perfect
with
Italian
food.
A
relaxed
and
pleasant
evening,
with
lovely
food.
