Uccello Birthday Treat - Part 1

Spice crusted loin of Lamb, warm salad of cannellini beans, sweet pepper, lemon and parsley.

Ravioli of ricotta, zucchini flowers, anchovy and parmesan.

Pumpkin risotto, seared scallops, truffle butter.

Pan fried prawns, cracked wheat panzanella salad.

(Special entree) Bresaola with rocket, figs and I think it was goats cheese or marscapone (?).

A close friend took a J & I to Merivale's Uccello in The Ivy for our birthdays.

The decor is very 'fresh' and summery and the restaurant overlooks the Ivy pool.

Downside is that it became very noisy with the pool and bar growing increasingly busy.

The crowd being a Wednesday night was quite eclectic - so the anticipated snobbery was not present. Service was laid back and friendly - they were all wearing jeans and black Converse.

I enjoyed the food which had clean flavours and well presented, meaning I would return but need to consider the pricing - it's not 'economical' by any means but all things considered I wouldn't rule out returning.
