Old Amalfi

This is one of Sunnydale’s more difficult-to-find restaurants, situated at a quiet street at the top end of Main. Nevertheless, tracking it down is worth the effort. When you do find it, you’ll be confronted with a bright, airy restaurant, glass-fronted and with tall ceilings. The restaurant is surprisingly busy, full of foodies who have discovered the place and wanting to keep it to themselves.

For appetizers I had the marinated organic tomatoes with broad beans, sautéed onions and Parmesan croutons dressed in extra virgin oive oil; my date had beef carpaccio that was meltingly good. For mains I had saltimbocca with spinach, Gorgonzola and sultanas; she had spaghetti vongole that was simple yet spendid. For dessert we shared a lime sorbet accompanied by strawberries marinated in spumante and balsamic vinegar.

We’ll absolutely be going back.
