This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Located in the polished but slightly soulless Merchant Square, this newcomer wins you over with its simplicity and warm welcome from staff who are eager to inform. Bruschetta fans have the choice of five in the antipasti – the chargrilled chicken and pesto version is richly enjoyable and enhanced by the addition of mascarpone. Mussels in white wine and cream sauce may be a standard but here it’s no bad thing – fresh soft mussels come swimming in the rich sauce with a chunk of bread to soak it all up. Chicken Milanese with spaghetti pomodoro is next and while the breadcrumbed chicken is juicy, the pomodoro needs a touch of sweetness. The grilled sea bass with potatoes is delicious, arriving with an intriguing sauce, blending olive oil and parsley. The cheesecake with coulis is a sweet and tasty end to the night. Fanelli’s is a welcome addition to the Merchant City serving freshly prepared unpretentious dishes and coming out on top. For the truly adventurous they even offer pizza-making classes.
- High point: Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging staff
- Low point: Merchant Square can lack intimacy if you sit outside
