Italian Lunch

8 Feb

I had a 4 hour gap between my lectures today so I decided to go to Durham for lunch at AskItalian. It was a perfectly sunny afternoon albeit a little cold, perfect for an Italian lunch with a window-side table. The restaurant wasn’t too crowded, quiet enough for a nice private lunch but still cozy with the low humbles and hustles of the other diners.

The starter was garlic bread with cheese, so crispy and perfectly cooked, unarguably the best I’ve had.

The main course was Terrina Frutti Di Mare, which was as beautiful as it sounds. The dish consists of a selection of sea food (mussels, prawns, squid, clams and sea bass) with potatoes in tomato and white wine sauce, served with bread. The soup was delicious and went so well with the sea food. I could not have enough of it!

After the perfect lunch I came back for lecture and thus concluded another Friday.

Cheers to the weekend!
