Bar Milano occupies a picturesque grey-stone building near Eastwood Toll. A former bank and listed building, the warm, informal dining area retains some original features, while the rear wall boasts a huge dusty-pink mural of Milan Cathedral. A busy neighbourhood restaurant, it has a constant stream of regulars coming through its doors, lending a friendly and vibrant atmosphere. A well thought-out menu offers a broad taste of Italy, along with daily specials of fresh, local fish. Starters include breseola, wafer-thin cured beef with lemon juice and strong parmesan on a bed of peppery rocket, and the funghi farcitti which comes as deep-fried mushrooms hiding an oozing cheesy filling, served with a fresh garlic mayonnaise. Main courses are varied, well-balanced and presented with a flourish. A smooth sauce of tomatoes and cream bind the tagliatelli and scallops into a delicious and filling dish, while the tender veal in a creamy white wine and peppercorn sauce is rich and decadent. The attention to detail is explained in part by the long-serving and dedicated staff who are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. A choice of desserts includes a light, smoky-sweet tiramisu that is highly recommended.
- High point: Scallop tagliatelli
- Low point: Epic journey to the toilet
