Casamia

Monday, August 10, 2009 - The whole mood of the place - from the cast-iron gateway off the suburban Bristol high street, down the terraced alleyway, heavy with pots of herbs they use in their cookery, to the vaulted dining room - shouts: "We want you to have a nice time," as does the price tag. At lunch three courses is a storming 20. In the evening it is just 28. For what you get, that is wonderful value. I'm even willing to overlook the vivid paintings of Italian scenes, art that makes the work of Jack Vettriano look subtle.
