there is Oven Baked
Scamorza, Italian cow’s
milk cheese similar to
mozzarella, stuffed with
porcini mushrooms,
sun dried tomatoes and
truffle paté.The cheese
topping was very tasty
and delicious with the
sun dried tomatoes,
however at times, I found it slightly salty.
Both main meals are served with a choice
of roast or shepherd’s potatoes; the roast
potatoes were nicely cooked while the
shepherd’s potatoes were delicious and
creamy.
When turning over to the dessert menu,
a lot of diners will find themselves smiling
immediately,especially those watching their
waistline. “BRAVO! Your Tagliatelle and La
Tagliata come in at under 650 calories…’
screams La Tagliata.They also suggest that
the starter and main course is ideal for
‘a lunch that won’t end up on the hips
or have you sleeping at your desk’. There
are three choices of dessert: Formaggi, a
selection of three Italian cheeses served
with their own five-seed rolls; Tiramisú
or Panna Cotta, with seasonal topping of
strawberry or caramel sauce.We decided
to have both the Tiramisú and Panna
Cotta.The Tiramisú was delicious with its
creamy bottom and nice cocoa topping; I
also found that it wasn’t overly sweet, as
Tiramisú often tends to be and was just
right. The Panna Cotta with strawberry
was utterly divine; dreamy, creamy and just
simply to die for. I would definitely order
these desserts over and over again at this
restaurant; albeit on different occasions.To
finish off your dining experience, if you so
wish, you can enjoy a choice of liqueur
and wine beverages such as Liquore di
Limone, Passito di Pantelleria and Grappa
di Amarone or simply opt for the usual
hot beverages of espresso, cappuccino or
a selection of teas. We tried the Liquore
di Limone and “Boy,
did it knock our socks
off!” The lemon is the
most notable taste and
then the alcohol kicks
in immediately.
Since it opened, La
Tagliata has proved
popular with city
workers, especially around lunch time. So
whether you’re looking for a great place
for a working lunch, a fuss-free event or
a discerning diner who knows what they
want, La Tagliata is the ideal restaurant
that offers ‘simple food, wine and Italian
hospitality at its best’.
La Tagliata is opened Monday to Friday for
lunch from midday to 3pm and for dinner
from 6pm to 11pm.
