Ascari Enoteca

"We love food. We love wine. We love racing." So declares the website of Ascari Enoteca, named after 1950s racing legend Alberto Ascari. Pastas are made fresh in house every single day and the menu changes both seasonally and locally. There are a nice variety of red and white wines by the bottle or the glass, but you can also pamper yourself with a flight and have 2oz pours of some fine selections. Small bites are simple but executed beautifully, such as skewers of lamb with lemon zest and Maldon salt. The pasta sauces complement the fresh noodles, with ingredients from homemade sausage to pork shoulder with cream sauce. Flawless food in reasonable portions; this is a neighbourhood restaurant that shines.
