Spaghetti House | Shop B,120 Boundary Street, WEST END QLD 4101
As
we crossed over the road from our American feast at PJ's, a pleasant
aroma of cooked garlic, freshly grated parmesan and uncorked red wine
triggered my nerves. Our eyes tracked down the the source of this
smell and we found The Spaghetti House. It has a fairly small
shopfront with a number of tables outside on the walkway. It was like
I had no control over my feet and I had to go in and check it out.
The
restaurant is decorated with elegant gilded mirrors hanging off the
walls and at the back of the restaurant, you will find a quaint
terrace. Without any hesitation, we made a reservation for dinner for
the next night.
Well,
that reservation made my day a whole lot smoother than usual. All I
could think about for the two hours prior to the clock ticking over
five o’clock was thinly sliced prosciutto wrapped around fresh
figs. And that's how we started our dinner.
In
fact, a plate of figs wrapped with prosciutto in cheese sauce
($15.90) with dipping bread on the side was our shared entree and
gosh that cheese sauce was good, I literately finished the whole dish
in 5 minutes. I mean, yes I was being conscious of my image as a
newly wedded bunnie, but when the food was that good, forget about
it! I would've drank that sauce if I could.
As
for the main course, I had the lobster linguine special
($26.90) and the other travel bunnie had the beef cheek hand
pulled pasta ($22.90). They were both really pleasant, but I
expected the flavours to be more intense. Perhaps the entrée was too
perfect and anything we had afterward simply would not meet our
expectations.
The
other highlight of the night would have to be the excellent service
provided by The Spaghetti House. All the waitstaff were smartly
dressed and they felt like they were happy to be there. Everyone had
a smile on their face despite the dinner service being extremely
busy.
Ever
since that night I've been day dreaming about prosciutto wrapped figs
for God knows how many times. I think that's my next goal, to learn
how to make that dish (or put on a cute face so that the other travel
bunnie can take me there on demand *insert evil laughs*).
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $79.70.
