Il segreto translates as "the secret" and this little gem of a restaurant has been a secret to me for the past few years. Despite walking by this area on a very regular basis, for some reason the venue never "appeared on my radar". Having been given a voucher as a gift, myself and my wife paid a visit on a lovely sunny Sunday evening late March. We were being offered a table in the restaurant when the outside patio area caught our eye, and with the weather being so pleasant we decided to eat outside. This outside area was absolutely gorgeous - the smokers must be delighted ! With the unseasonal weather, and the pretty patio, we could have been in Italy or Spain. The food was really nice, portions may have appeared a little small, but considering we were planning to have all three courses, they were more than enough. The danger of sitting outside and not receiving attentive service was not an issue, as the waiting staff were very careful to ensure they popped out regularly despite there being only 3 tables of two occupied. Back to the food...for starters one had scallops with pancetta which was a remarable dish, well matched, and cooked to perfection, the other had foie gras, which was excellent. Our mains were a lovely fresh cod dish with spinach and potatoes and a chicken dish with leeks, bacon, mushrooms etc, and was delightful. We finished with a superb creme brulee and cappucinos to end a remarkable meal. One observation (not a criticism) was the heavy French influences on the menu, when we would have expected a more Italian leaning. This was certainly not an issue for us, but maybe others might expect a more Italian menu.

My boyfriend and I decided to have a romantic dinner outside the house for a change. Excellent choice I have to say. Although the portions may seem small, they are actually the right size to appreciate the whole menu. The starters and main courses were lovely presented, cooked to perfection and well balanced in terms of flavours. If you are not going for a pre theatre menu or have some sort of discount card it can be very steep, specially if you add a nice bottle of wine, like we did. Just two things that made me slightly disappointed. As we chose a more intimate corner, we could see some no so pleasant wine boxes just beside our table. Moreover, one of the reasons we chose the restaurant is because it says to have coeliac options. However, this is not stated on the menu so you kind of have to guess. Which they had some sort of lactose free deserts too, but then again, most restaurants don't catter for people with food intolerances like myself and my boyfriend. Will go back one day (for the pre theatre though)
