Pasta Galore

Situated close to the world famous Theatre Royal, this restaurant is a preferred location for many an after show meal. Fresh and invigorating cooking is the draw at Pasta Galore, the brainchild of two sisters, Celia and Jessica. A little bit of Italy is evident in its interiors, with splashes of red, white and green, bearing close resemblance to the Italian flag.

Prosciutto e salami, ham and a selection of salami with olive oil and Parmesan shavings jostle with antipasto misto in the starters section. The main courses tread the familiar and the not-so-familiar route with spaghetti o conchiglie alla Bolognese, the classic minced beef and tomato sauce, flavoured with red wine and oregano, with spaghetti or shells, and agnello all'araba, a rich stew of lamb, chard, raisins and pine nuts in a cumin, turmeric and coriander sauce with tagliatelle. No Italian dessert list is complete without pannacotta, tiramisu or cantuccini biscuits, with a glass of Vin Santo.
