PRONTO ITALIAN DELI, RESTAURANT AND FOODSTORE

BEST FOR A taste of Italy in your neighbourhood. FOOD Pronto has a big, primarily (but not exclusively) Italian menu. The portions are generous and the flavours sensational. Italian staples include a cheesy gnocchi starter sprinkled with pieces of crispy pancetta, assorted pizzas and lasagne. The seafood stew served with linguine is loaded with prawns and mussels and tastes of the ocean. Meatballs are served in a generous portion with a perfect sauce. Leave space for dessert: tiramisu, dark chocolate mousse, crème brûlée, home-made gelati and a few other ways to beat the blues, with mascarpone featuring prominently as a weapon of choice. DRINKS There is a wine bar on the premises, so the wine list is healthy, international, and competitively priced. There are MCCs, champagnes and proseccos to choose from, as well as Italian wines. SERVICE Warm, cozy, confident and welcoming. AMBIENCE Local eatery meets sophisticated casual. (SM)
