Amarone is an Italian wine. The main physical feature of this restaurant is the huge circular pillar with shelves of wine bottles.
The chef's free taster was good. Moist and moreish. Also good was the oil for dipping bread. the bruschetta starter was great.
My pumpkin soup was disappointing, oily, after the lovely mustardy potato pumpkin soup I'd had earlier at Halia restaurant (see previous review).
The restaurant is large enough for you to sit in an anonymous corner for a business meeting or tete a tete.
The desserts of the day were apple crumble and chocolate cheesecake. I love apple crumble, which has healthy sounding apple, as well as satisfying crumble but I have so often been disappointed by a crumble which turns out to be cornflakes that I opted for the chocolate cheesecake.
This arrived with a few raspberries. Full marks for adding fruit. (Still not a match for the over the top calorific New York style cheesecake at some delicatessens.)
Incidentally, there's a deli counter at the entrance which I did not have time to investigate.
