This St Margarets Italian from the same stable as Twickenham Church St’s rock-solid duo of Pincho and Osteria Pulcinella has been open about ten days now. The first signs are that this is a major asset for St Margarets.
Riversniffers bumped into two seasoned restaurant goers who ate at Brocca on the first Saturday. Their verdict? The best meal they’d had anywhere in 2009 – at any price – absolutely fabulous.
She had bruschetta followed by a calzone. He had aubergine and mozarella bake, followed by crab tagliatelli. They had a good bottle of Italian white. The bill? £46 including a tip.
The next day the couple went to the Wolseley. They said that the meal, although really enjoyable, was “nowhere near as imaginative as Brocca on the Saturday”.
Riversniffers can’t wait to try it out and is booked in there in the next week. There will be a full write-up here shortly afterwards.
Looks like they’ll be beating the customers off with sticks.
Book early for Christmas!
