The rich and tasty menu with good wines in this Soho locale was delicious where I must highlight the cheesecake that was exceptionally light yet brimming with flavour (sadly no longer in the current menu). This is a great place to linger over slow eating. Recommended!
A friend of a friend (interesting) suggested that we go for an Italian dinner at Vasco and Piero's Pavilion in the heart of Soho. This is a small restaurant that was packed all evening. I like the simple decor and the atmosphere that gave the impression we were in somebody's house! After they sat us to our table, they graciously offered us some prosecco. This was a nice gesture from them and a good sign that this whole experience would be fantastic! We ordered some appetizers first. As soon as we saw that they had some burrata on the menu, we ordered it!!! It was served with cherry tomatoes. The burrata was amazing! The shell was soft and the heart creamy. I could have eaten this all day! It tasted so fresh! The second appetizer was a pear carpaccio. That was fantastic! The pear was juicy and sweet and it complemented very well the sharpness of the parmesan. It was a great dish: simple, tasty with clean flavors. Jodi ordered some tuna. It was seared and served with lentils and spinach.
Vasco and Piero’s Pavilion is a Soho institution, serving Umbrian food since 1971. This is not a place that you go to stretch out: the tables are tiny and packed together. At one point in the evening every table was taken, but they somehow squeezed in and laid a fresh table adjacent to the bar for some new diners. The two page wine list ranged in price from £17.50 to £135. Falesco Est Est Monte Fiascone 2011 was £28 for a wine that you can find in the high street for around £8, Villa Russiz Pinot Grigio Collio Gorizia 2010 was £46.50 for a wine that retails at £14, and Tignanello 2008 was £135 for a wine that can be purchased for £52.
