Andiamo Trattoria
9 Kensington St
Chippendale, Sydney
We both felt like Italian for dinner so thought we would go to Chippendale to Andiamo Trattoria.
For something a bit different we decided on having the $55 special for 2 of Pizza, Pasta and salad. On the menu this was - traditional large pizza of choice, pasta of choice and Italian, Mediterranean or Rocket salad. You add $5 for gourmet pizza selection, add $5 for seafood pasta selection and add $20 to enjoy a bottle of Casa Vino Rosso or Bianco with your share plate.
We chose the Casa Vino Rosso which really was a lovely wine. It had a blend of Merlot - a favourite of Mladys.
Our pizza was Siena - Rocket, prosciutto, Napoletana, shaved parmesan and olive oil drizzle. It had colour, flavour and a real wow factor when it arrived. The toppings were abundant and tasted great and the sauce and base were just as good. A good pizza is just wonderful isn't it!
The pasta was Fettucine Creme Polle - chicken, mushrooms and avocado in creamy rosa salsa sauce. Again it was a big, colourful and tasty dish that arrived hot at the table and we devoured it eagerly.
Finally, we chose the Italian Salad as our side dish - Mesclun greens, tomato and cucumber tossed with vinaigrette. The fresh crisp salad contrasted nicely with the hot pizza and pasta. It was a simple salad done well - but they're often the best.
This was such a good deal. The food - and plenty of it was divine. Loved the very tasty pasta that had such great flavours. It was a sure winner with Sir - as it had avocado! The pizza - with its soft wonderful base was lovely. Beautiful prosciutto - that both Sir and Mlady are passionate about. Nice fresh side of crispy Italian salad. The red wine complimented so well. We both thoroughly enjoyed this great tasting deal!
We've visited Andiamo at both Chippendale and Summer Hill now - and both occasions were great. The food, service and whole atmosphere is just what you want and look for in a good Italian restaurant.
