Dinner. For Stuart Deeley new menu launch. Stuart, who was Master ChefThe Professionals Champion 2019, has been appointed executive chef of this delightful Italian restaurant in Edgbaston. Along with head chef Patrick Huckins, they have created a whole new menu. Us being Stu's greatest fan boys,we just had to get booked in to see his latest creations. Everything was so tempting that we could have ordered the whole menu but decided to be sensible. Maybe leave something different to choose for the next time. Started with a snack Bombolone, Red onion marmalade smothered in Rachael Reserva cheese. Three small plates Courgette and ricotta Fritters with Lemon and a dip. Pig's head fritters with a Basil Aioli. Barbecued Queenie Scallops with Espelette Sauce, which were cooked perfect and absolutely delicious. You can't come to an Italian without having a pasta dish. And what a dish it was 'Nduja Campanelli. Pasta that looks like chanterelle mushrooms cooked al dente,the proper Italian way with one of the tastiest sauces we have ever eaten. Plates from the Barbecue Onglet with a Salsa Verde and Whole Plaice with warm tartare sauce,plus a side of Polenta chips, Pecorino. There was no way we were going to miss out on a dessert or two. You know it makes sense. Fried Pannetone Bread and Butter pudding ,milk gelato and what is sure to be a must for every diner,the Tirami-stu.WOW! To end a very impressive meal, we had two perfectly made liquor coffees in the bar area.As we said our goodbyes and thanks to Stu and the team for a very enjoyable evening in Brum.

Authentic Italian food on the doorstep of Birmingham. Reasonably priced and great service. Also recommend grabbing a pastry on your way out
