(I didn't take this photo by the way...)On Thursday evening Jon, Malvina, Alex and I went out for a meal at Locande Verde which is in the Greenwich Hotel. It's one of Robert De Niro's many many restaurants - apparently he's got 25!! It was rather lovely, the decor was great, lost of rusticy wood mixed with stainless steel, quite industrial chairs and light fittings mixed with delicate glass panels and stuff - tres nice.
It was really busy, which is obviously a good sign, but luckily we got a table (as long as we were out by 9pm). The menu is based on a 'sharing concept' apparently, so all the dishes come at different times and we're all supposed to try a bit of each other... problem is all the portions are bloody small, so we ended up ordering more food.
I had a mighty tasty sea bass with clams (with a blue crab thingy to start), then we each had a lamb meatball slider (mini burger) and then we had pudding... I had cheese and biscuits, which then lead to a very funny conversation with Alex. Alex, in all his 28 years has NEVER heard of having cheese and biscuits for pudding!?!?! We couldn't believe it, he thought you'd have it for a starter...? Oh well. It was incredibly delcious (and a wee bit pricey), so I'd certainly recommend going (you might need to stop off at MacDonalds afterwards though!).
