Guide 2001-2002 Palmiro was the talk of the town when it opened and following several awards and rave reviews, its reputation for delicious, new Italian cuisine has outstripped the wonder that it used to be a car parts shop. Now, with its discreet patio and friendly, intimate atmosphere, it has truly arrived. The menu changes every six weeks to reflect seasonal availability. The frittata with asparagus starter (£3.75) was simplistic, relying on freshness and a delicate hand for its remarkable flavour. Likewise the pesto trapanese (£5.50) was bright with basil and pine nuts, unique from the stodge that passes for pesto. Chef is always ready with a few creative choices and the marzolino cheese with aubergine and coucous formato (£8.95) proved a brilliant combo, along with some of the most flavourful and comforting frilled polenta I have ever had. Good food and good living are top priority in a restaurant that brings some sunny Italy into the heart of the city. Back
