il trillo London (Chelsea)

• What a great street it is full of small scale
• Unfortunately for me we are no longer in the recession so everyone seems to be eating at fine dining establishments
• A big winner for me at this hidden little gem was that part of its wine list comprised of wines from the family vineyard &ndash
• What I tried was of very good quality
• We took a seat in the outdoor/indoor veranda which was very well executed and very romantic &ndash
• The mozzarella was soft and creamy and olive oil full of flavour though their was far too much of it and the vegetables soaked it up like a sponge and became for too greasy
• The onions were sweet and soft
• Juicy well flavour meat oozed out of the ends though again there was far too much olive oil on the plate
• All the pasta is handmade here it makes such a difference and you can really taste authenticity in restaurants these days which put that extra bit of love into their dishes
• Beef and thyme ravioli had a lovely well held together texture and cooked the right side of al dente the filling was absolutely delicious
• Just to add even more richness to this dish the whole thing is doused in a meaty
• The restaurant is a family business
• Would recommend to try the Maltagliati Verd pasta with beef and Parmesan( £
• One of the best Italians in Chelsea
• The food is delicious and fairly priced and the ambient is very cosy and romantic
• Had the tuna tartare for starters which was okay and the cod for main course which was severely under seasoned and the most boring fish dish I've eaten in recent memory
• Admittedly it is more known for its meats and house wine (our host ordered a bottle for some strange reason)
• The bar across the road is the main attraction for this restaurant located in a quiet corner of Chelsea
