Insider Tips
- If there is a particular Italian dish you have a hankering for, do not hesitate to ask the staff. They usually can whip it up for you. We wanted the 'Gnocchi' one day and it was a request that was indulged despite it not being on the menu
- If you see it on the menu do not think twice about ordering the 'Slow Cooked Pork Belly with Pistachio and Black Pepper'. The little cup of coffee jus on the side is where the party is at with this dish
- Ottimo does some lovely plating – so just for that and the taste, of course, ask for the 'Soup and Salad of the day' or 'Bianconmangiare al caramello con perle al miele', which is set to look like a terrarium
