Tuscany, Coney Street
During your time at Uni, your main ‘night out’ concerns will consist of where you can go for the cheapest alcohol, which joint has the best dance floor, and which DJ in town is playing the best tunes. Now and again, however, the occasion may arise when you need to find a nice restaurant to wine and dine in.
This is where Tuscany comes in. With it’s dim-lighting and romantic atmosphere it is more the place to take a visiting loved one, than visiting parents; but whatever the size of the party, getting a table should not be a problem, as once inside you realise the place is much bigger than it looks. In traditional Italian style, the kitchen is on display, and the service was fast, polite and efficient; everything wonderful so far. However, what is really important is what you’re there for in the first place: the food.
While my garlic bread starter lacked ambition, the main course- spinach and ricotta cannelloni- more than made up for it. Being vegetarian, it was great to see a range of choice, although admittedly not as wide as some. The prices were reasonable and the wine drinkable, so all in all if it is ambience with great company you are after, rather than the best Italian food you will ever taste in your life, Tuscany is the place to head.
