This used to be my favourite Italian to dine in birmingham. However, unfortunately the new rebrand has meant there's a slight dip in the quality of food. It's still pretty good but it's no longer as exceptional as it once was. The menu has shrunk a lot and there isn't many variety to choose from and overall I didn't feel it was as good as before
Dinner. For Stuart Deeley new menu launch. Stuart, who was Master ChefThe Professionals Champion 2019, has been appointed executive chef of this delightful Italian restaurant in Edgbaston. Along with head chef Patrick Huckins, they have created a whole new menu. Us being Stu's greatest fan boys,we just had to get booked in to see his latest creations. Everything was so tempting that we could have ordered the whole menu but decided to be sensible. Maybe leave something different to choose for the next time. Started with a snack Bombolone, Red onion marmalade smothered in Rachael Reserva cheese. Three small plates Courgette and ricotta Fritters with Lemon and a dip. Pig's head fritters with a Basil Aioli. Barbecued Queenie Scallops with Espelette Sauce, which were cooked perfect and absolutely delicious. You can't come to an Italian without having a pasta dish. And what a dish it was 'Nduja Campanelli. Pasta that looks like chanterelle mushrooms cooked al dente,the proper Italian way with one of the tastiest sauces we have ever eaten. Plates from the Barbecue Onglet with a Salsa Verde and Whole Plaice with warm tartare sauce,plus a side of Polenta chips, Pecorino. There was no way we were going to miss out on a dessert or two. You know it makes sense. Fried Pannetone Bread and Butter pudding ,milk gelato and what is sure to be a must for every diner,the Tirami-stu.WOW! To end a very impressive meal, we had two perfectly made liquor coffees in the bar area.As we said our goodbyes and thanks to Stu and the team for a very enjoyable evening in Brum.
We have loved Laghi's for quite a few years now and we really loved the sound of their new venture into more of a casual fine dining approach. However, I don't think it has come together as successfully as we'd hoped. We found ourselves really missing the rustic charm of a family-led Italian restaurant at reasonable prices. We never had a bad dish at the old Laghi's, everything was always well cooked. Sadly, our experience the other night was more mixed. That's not to say it was bad, the servers were polite and friendly, the food was overall tasty, but considering the price you're paying for the small plates and 1/2 pastas, you expect a lot more. Also, it is a lot more generous with the portions than it indicates on the menu—I'm not sure who could manage the 4 recommended plates! We took the advice and struggled to finish. Our favourite dishes were the seafood tempura and smokey scallops, both were divine. The cocktail I had, Granny's Apple, was awesome. The onglet was amazingly cooked but we were too full by the time it was served. Everything is served in tapas style, being brought out when it's ready, with the snacks arriving first. The olives were delightful as was the foccacia but the balsamic vinegar in the olive oil wasn't particularly nice. The dining style meant that we were left with a plate of meat without anything on the side. I understand wanting to create a casual dining atmosphere but we didn't really enjoy it in this setting. Some dishes were served in classic fashion with broad rimmed pasta bowls while others were served like gastro pub dishes with grease paper. It just felt slightly confused. We ordered one pasta dish, the 1/2 carbonara and while it was made authentically with guanciale, the fat wasn't very well rendered and it was extremely salty. Finally, we had a raw seasonal vegetable salad with pesto. This was a great refreshing option but we found the pesto quite bland, albeit well made. We were slightly let down too because we were given a dirty plastic glass for a drink and the table was sticky when we arrived at it. I don't think we'd go again because of the price to experience ratio. We felt like it was too expensive for what it was. But again, it wasn't bad, just pales in comparison to what it used to be.
Booked in on a Saturday afternoon. Was a little quiet but service was very friendly. We ordered the bombolone with red onion jam to start, and shared a margarita pizza, wild mushroom pasta and rocket and Parmesan salad for main. The bombolone was pretty decent with a soft goats cheese filling. The pizza was outstanding, really light and crispy base, absolutely delicious. pasta lacked a bit of seasoning and the wild mushroom flavour didn’t really come through. £5 for the teeny rocket salad with a pinch of Parmesan was a bit ridiculous. A little disappointing following previous visits. Would definitely return for another pizza though!
Food overall was pretty good and tasty, only gripe is the portion sizes are very small, especially the sharing portions, pictured above. Service was really good, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. Atmosphere is nice and would be better but I had the unlucky experience of going at the same time with tons of screaming kids, running around all over the place.
I'm sorry to have to write this but very disappointing dinner after having being excited to eat at a local independent Italian restaurant. Food was very poor with pasta having no flavour, Pizza being half burnt and having a weird texture similar to a stale baguette from a supermarket. The service was slow and poor too. The toilets were filthy with evaporated urine stains and skid marks on the toilet seat definitely not cleaned for a couple days, No soap available either. Honestly, Birmingham has many good independent Italian restaurants- i'd advise you look elsewhere.
Amazing Italian.. fabulous dinner menu...sumptuous I think its how I would describe our main courses. So I went back for coffee and pistachio donuts for breakfast. Excellent find xxFood: 5/5
Charlotte, Mollie and the team are a credit to hospitality. Great food, delicious drinks and an excellent playlist. An italian restaurant with distinct Birmingham accent. Glorious.Food: 5/5
Authentic Italian food on the doorstep of Birmingham. Reasonably priced and great service. Also recommend grabbing a pastry on your way outFood: 5/5
Been here a month ago. Was informed only seafood menus will be available which is absolutely perfect for a seafood lover! Overall food was good and worth the price. The only drawback is the fact that 99% of seafood we were having that night were raw. I will definitely give it a 5 stars if I ate something different. Not to mention it might enhance the flavour of the seafood too!
