Barolo, Camberwell

The first thing that occurred to me when we entered this new restaurant is how familiar the location is. It turns out that we have been to this location before but that was when it was a Greek restaurant. Now, it is an Italian restaurant run by different owners. 

We ordered the antipasto plate, spaghetti marinara, beef and shiraz ragu and a coffee and baileys with ice cream.

The beef was a real comfort food. I can totally imagine myself with a big bowl of this stuff, in front of the television in pyjamas, scoffing down mouthfuls of this while watching Sex and the City. 

I found the texture of the spaghetti very similar to half cooked Chinese wheat noodles. It was thick, felt a little uncooked and was not what I liked to eat. 

The best dish was the dessert. It came with a shot of strong coffee and baileys, both of which are to be poured into the martini glass containing two scoops of ice cream. The mixture then turns to be gooey, delicious coffee bailey sundae. Personally I think anything with coffee and Baileys is a winning combination.
