Cucina di Vincenzo

So what to say. What a gem. And a rare one at that! Taken here by a dear friend, thanks JJ! They live near but never been. Had heard of its growing reputation and we were excited to give it a go. Not in the centre of Liverpool, but not too far in a Uber. Late lunch at 1515, but it still had a great buzz from lunch-service. Tables continued to fill even after we arrived. Great table service from all. Shout out to Max! Love what they do here, seems they give youngsters a tryout as front of house, under supervision of course. But once they are up an running they have the room. So yes great service and it felt genuine too. So we had a two-hour slot, again a good sign in my book of an up and coming eatery. It said Italian on the door, on the menu and that is exactly what we got! The menu had a great choice, not too many thankfully. Some classics of course but do ask for what Special that day. Love seafood and we all went for that. Hope the pics work for you, because the taste did for us. Superb, every dish. Italian generosity on portion sizes too! Of course had an espresso - that is my guide to a decent Italian. Glad to say it hit the spot! We were talked into a dessert, we did not need it! But the homemade Bakewell is a must. OMG it's amazing. But be warned .... one to share (between three) was more than enough. So there you are, a great find outside the centre. Great at night as there are a number of places here, next door and across the street to also consider. Oh one thing .... you will and should book for Vincenzo, can't see you getting a table at night without! Great job all.
