Last weekend Nerdy Rob's mum celebrated her birthday, and we all went to a lovely, family run restaurant, Buonasera.
Rob's family know the owners as his lovely sister helped them to set up the restaurant when they first opened. Needless to say, we were warmly welcomed by Daniele, the head waiter.

There are 2 sittings for dinner, we attended the later one so we weren't rushed.
The restaurant has a nice, warm, intimate atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic night out if you are looking for the right place.

We started with some lovely bruschetta, then went straight onto mains.
Sorry folks, only 1 photo for this review; my linguine with tiger prawns ... with quite a bit of Parmesan cheese I requested, this of course is totally optional.

Delicious! You know when the chef is from Italy the food is going to be good!

Other dishes that were ordered were a porcini fettuccine, gnocchi and a vegetarian pasta. All looked delicious, as well as everything else that came out of the kitchen. Wood fired pizzas are also a specialty of this place, I've had them as take away before, and they have a beautiful thin, crispy base. Real Italian style.

I'd recommend this place to anyone, not just for the food, but also the service.
