Lunch at Carluccio's
It's been very hectic and busy at home recently and therefore as a end of week treat, we went to Carluccio's in Bicester Village for lunch. It was an excuse to dress up a little and Christmas in Bicester Village is always one of my favourite things (and not because of the crazy amount of people that visit!) but because of all the decorations and lights.
The interior deco in Carluccio's literally made me feel like I have been showered in Christmas spirit! Despite the fact that there is still a while till Christmas arrives, it was nice to be all dressed up and having warm meals in the warmth.
It has been a while since I went to Carluccio's as we usually lunch at Villandry, so I decided to take some photos of all the pretty and yummy foods and share them on my blog!
Nibbles: Bread Tin with Balsamic Vinegar and Oil
Starter: Fried Mushroom Risotto Balls with Tomato Balls
Starter: Fettucce Al Tartufo (Egg Pasta with Truffle and Butter Sauce)
My starter and main meal complemented each other so well. The risotto balls starter was very delicious and not too filling. Then despite the fact that my main was quite small in size, it had a heavy taste, which meant the portion was perfect!
Even though I have such a sweet tooth, I decided to be good and pass on dessert (something I'm regretting right now!).
I always love spending time with my family and eating so the afternoon was absolutely perfect!

The pasta in your dish looks glorious. I work at a spaghetti restaurant, and our pastas never really look as presentable as your dish does (or maybe I've worked here for too long...). Also, bread paired with balsamic vinegar and oil is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Which restaurant do you work in? Haha sometimes it's nice to go try other places, to find out how things are done differently and in return it can inspire you =] Yes! It's definitely a simple classic
