Jamie's Italian

Jamie's Italian Review

Gazing through the window at the shelves of freshly made pasta, the multicolor gourds, and the abundant hams hanging from the ceiling is enough to entice you into this buzzing eatery. Chef Jamie Oliver's mission is to re-create the best rustic Italian fare, as shown in a diverting range of antipasti and mains such as tuna fusilli slow-cooked with tomatoes and cinnamon, and steak tagliata with crunchy fennel and garlic. The various dishes servied on a wood plank are a steal, desserts are light and refreshing—tutti frutti lemon meringue pie and fruit sorbets, for example—and the lively crowd appreciates it all.
