"I had the beef stew which was spiced with really fresh peppercorns, though the meat could have been more tender. The marrow bone is nice and tender. The tiramisu is great! We were served a lovely digestif at the end of the meal."

"The food was okay but it didnt have any special taste. I ate spaghetti with vongole and they were okay. The owner/waitress was came atleast 7x and asked if everything was okay, that was exausting. when you come to the reastaurant you want peace and we felt rushed to go and the restaurant was empty"

But if it did, it would be a bore since Trattoria Chiribiri is the clear winner. Progresso ruined my opinion of minestrone for years; but one big bowl from Chiribiri has me stalking websites for a similar recipe.
