Burro Review | "Trullo Co-Owner Sticks to a Winning Formula"

"Described as "part Irish country house kitchen, part 1950s Italian bistro", the space looks smarter and warmer with lots of mid-century wood, faded red and dusty yellow walls, and velvet banquettes."

"Burro means butter in Italian and the menu certainly has that generous, comforting feel - this is a restaurant where you come to be fed, not challenged. Dishes don't stick to one singular region of Italy, with the antipasti section including Sicilian caponata, Venetian chicken liver bruschetta, and Roman-style fried artichokes."

"The pastas at Burro are superb, as you'd expect given Gadd's background. The silky fettuccine with a rich duck and porcini ragu was the standout but the delicate tagliarini with mussels and clams was also lovely."

"Dessert is where Gadd deviates ever so slightly from his Italian classics playbook. Rather than doing a straight-up tiramisu, he's reimagined the flavours in doughnut form, with warm and fluffy bombolone sat on a tiramisu cream and covered in grated chocolate."
