LOVE Sunday lunch but want to try something a little different this month? At Rosso Restaurant, they serve a traditional Italian Sunday lunch, and it’s a beautiful sight indeed.
For mains, you can go traditional with a choice of tender roasts served with fresh market vegetables, or opt for something lighter
Featuring seafood and home-made pasta dishes as well as roasts, it channels long, lazy afternoons of dining on a Tuscan terrace. Imagine evocative flavours such as fennel, lemon and thyme, and succulent meats such as leg of lamb, half roasted chicken, and prime roast sirloin.
And it’s good value at £20 for three courses, with the option of a selected bottle of wine for £9.95. The full menu is printed below.
Rosso Roast
We like the sound of the Rosso terrina starter – a homemade pork and pistachio terrine, though the classic parmigiana di melanzane with its aubergine, fresh basil, mozzarella and tomato is a long-standing favourite.
For mains, you can go traditional with a choice of tender roasts served with fresh market vegetables, or opt for something lighter. The duck egg frittata with goats cheese, parma ham and a micro herb salad sounds delicious.
Desserts include a baked cherry and almond crumb cheesecake, ice cream with fresh coulis, and artisan cheese and crackers.
Take your time over it and why not make the most of their £9.95 bottle of wine offer too? They’ve still got some availability for this Sunday if you’re tempted.
