The stewed lamb shoulder, although very soft and tender, is too common a dish to be served at a restaurant such as Garibaldi. I could have an equally good lamb stew at Secret Recipe.
The Saffron homemade pappardelle with crayfish n broccoli was good, although my dining partner didn't like the springy feel of the pasta.
A common observation was that the dishes were too salty. It seemed that Italian cooking tends to sprinkle generous amount of salt on their dishes, something we have observed at Forlino too.
Dessert was warm apple pie with cinnamon gelato. Saving grace of the meal but I had expected something more Italian like maybe cannoli.
The counter receptionist was wearing slippers ... not very fitting to their uniform ... Restaurant ambience was good. They had revamped the decor since I last dined there eons ago and I liked it better this time.
In all, I guess we won't be returning any time soon. Gunther's at just next door will be still our No. 1 choice!
