Trattoria Verdi Restaurant has been around since 1964, and they surely must be doing many things right, which could possibility explain their longevity. For one the décor speaks of rusticity with large paintings of places in Italy and the delightful piano music in the background, and then comes the food, no-frills home style cooking, notable for its first rate ingredients.

Amongst grills there's sirloin pizzaiola with a piquant tomato and garlic sauce, or an indulgent tournedos Rossini cooked in Marsala wine sauce, topped with pâté. Seafood enthusiasts will be pleased by what's on offer; Dover sole, grilled or meunière, scampi fritti or Provençal, and poached salmon steak or fresh water trout. Pizza and pasta dishes find expression in Verdi with mushrooms and chopped ham, or spaghetti vongole with cockles in tomato, garlic and butter.

The two private rooms at Trattoria Verdi ensure that the joy of dining privately with the family or friends is always an option.
