Spaghetti

We're in London, continues...

Now that smoking is no longer a problem in London restaurants we are free to explore. John has been reading The Michelin Guide for suggestions of restaurants we should try and has booked us into several in the coming weeks. So, the blog is going to get a lot more yummy '-)

Last night's new discovery was Camerino in easy-to-walk-to Fitzrovia. John chose Camerino because it's Italian and we haven't seen much upscale Italian cuisine in London yet. It's even hard to find in California. I'm not talking about that drowned-in-tomato-sauce-chewy-chicken-parmesan Italian food that so many restaurants have; I mean upscale Italian. Somewhere we would eat more than once. We think we've found it, at last.

The restaurant is simple but lovely, not too posh, not too ordinary. The staff was very nice and we were impressed with how efficiently and pleasantly the two women on duty handled the entire restaurant. John did something he rarely does: he ordered the same thing I did. We started with the thinly sliced veal in tuna sauce and then the spaghetti with prosciutto. With a bottle of French champagne.

It was fabulous, we loved it. We will definitely be returning to Camerino.
