Foodie Friday - Simply Italian Rochester.
Friday, January 29, 2016
On Wednesday night Glen and I visited Simply Italian in Rochester. Simply Italian is a little family run Italian restaurant situated on Rochester High Street. It looks like quite a small restaurant but once you get inside you realise how much space it actually has. Spread across two floors there are plenty of tables to accommodate customers. The menu is quite a basic menu but still filled with lots of tasty Italian food.
On arrival we were greeted by a waitress, shown to our table where we were given a couple of the menu and a copy of the specials and asked if we would like a drink. Glen order a Birra Moretti an Italian beer and I order a large lemonade. After around five minutes the waitress returned and asked if we were ready to order. For starters Glen ordered Ciabatta and I ordered the Garlic Bread. Both started arrived super quick and were pipping hot. My garlic bread was packed full of fresh garlic and you could tell it was home made. Onto the mains Glen ordered Tagliatelle con Funghi
e Porcini, A dish of tagliatelle with wild mushrooms in a cream & white
wine sauce and I order a Margherita pizza with added peperoni salame, basically a peperoni pizza. The pizza itself was completely home made with home made tomato sauce on the base. The base itself was extremely thin and cooked to perfection. Glen really enjoyed the pasta dish, he said the pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce wasn't too creamy and went perfectly with the mushrooms. We also ordered a side of chips thinking it would be a little portion but there was defiantly enough for two of us. Unfortunately I couldn't finish all my pizza but the restaurant kindly let you take anything you can not finish home with you. Perfect for lunch the next day.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Simply Italian and we will defiantly be heading back in the near future.
Simply Italian have restaurants in Eastbourne, Battle and Rye as well as Rochester. If you are ever near one I would highly recommend popping in for a spot of lunch or dinner.
