Caminata
Date of Visit: 26th
October 2013
Ambience
Caminata is a small and cosy restaurant which has a rustic
“home feel” to it. The interior is
exposed to bare brick walls arty work displayed on the walls. We
were happily sat in the restaurant for hours as it felt both welcoming and
comfortable.
Food
The menu was filled with
traditional stone baked pizzas as well as pasta dishes, salads and also a
selection of meat and fish options.
For Starters I had Aranchino
which were crispy fried rice balls filled with minced meat and mozzarella. This was an interesting combination but the
mozzarella worked well with the sauce but it was rather heavy for a
starter.
For mains, all four of us opted
for pizzas – well it seemed to be a popular choice amongst other tables too. I opted for All Carne which consisted of the
following toppings: Chorizo sausage, chicken, spicy salami ham, tomato and
mozzarella. The base was very nicely
done and it looked and tasted very authentic… nothing like the pizzas you get from
Pizza hut or pizza express but that’s the great thing about Caminata –
everything is authentic.
We had a chocolate pudding and
ice cream for desserts. Whilst the
chocolate pudding was warm and the chocolate fondant rich, the sponge of the
pudding was a little bit of a disappointment for me as it was a little jelly
like instead of spongy.
Service
The service was great – very
friendly staff who were efficient and knowledgeable of their menu choices. We had no issues from start to finish and as
I mentioned earlier, we felt comfortable in the surroundings and the staff did
not rush us at all.
Summary
Overall, the food wasn’t
bad. It is definitely a good place for
traditional stone baked pizzas and a fab place to go for a casual meal. I would consider returning if I was in the
area.
