William Sitwell ran hot and cold on a new Sicilian in Brum’s Jewellery Quarter, where the décor – in particular “walls that attack you, like a titanic clash of ideas” – clearly set his critical faculties on edge.
Service was “charming”, though, while half a spatchcock chicken was “a tremendous success of charred skin, soft, juicy flesh and trails of the Italian leafy rapini”. Bresaola, tenderstem broccoli and butterhead lettuce also met with William’s approval.
But a ‘32 HR ox cheek crispy lasagne’ was both overcooked and over-crispy, while “a long, winding curl of Sicilian fennel sausage with butter beans was more depressing away-school-match tea of sausage and beans than glorious rustic supper”.
