Spagnoletti at The Megaro Hotel

Such a satisfying Friday night dinner at Spagnoletti. We started with the beef tartare with a rich nutty, almost hazelnut-like flavour and a touch of cheese running through it. The lobster pasta was probably one of our favourites of the night. The lobster itself was incredibly fragrant and full of flavour, and the sauce coated the flat pasta beautifully. The pasta had exactly the right bite, with just a little heat at the end, which made the whole dish feel very moreish. And the T-bone steak was genuinely excellent. We ordered it medium and I was slightly worried it might come out a little too cooked, but it was still beautifully pink inside, incredibly tender and juicy. The fatty edge was especially delicious, and even the meat around the bone had so much flavour. I also loved the simple finish of coarse salt on top. We finished with the tiramisu, which was another highlight. It wasn’t overly sweet at all, and I especially loved how generously the ladyfingers were soaked in coffee — much softer and more coffee-forward than many tiramisus I’ve tried. A special thank you to Matteo and Rakib, who were both so warm, attentive and welcoming throughout the evening.
