Which restaurants are Sicilian and Sardinian?

[TillieTrotter]

Il Mirto is Sardinian.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Any of the waiters have a passing resemblance to Montelbano?

[numbers]

Il giardino in Peckham is Sardinian. I think.

Not spotted montelbamo yet.

(Spelling errors I'm sure, on my part)

[david_carnell]

Il giardino is run by Peruvians or Bolivians so would struggle to describe itself as even having Italian heritage.

Anyone know the phone number for Sorsi & Morsi? Want to bag a table in the terrace for tonight.

No but I think the Chef's a dead ringer for Catarella.

We sat in the garden of Sorsi and Morsi last night and had a really tasty dinner, washed down with a lovely bottle of wine. The staff were very friendly the food was great and very reasonably priced - we will go back again, and again :-)

I second Helen G. I had lunch on the terrace. Ultra friendly staff and delicious food-courgette flowers stuffed with mozzarella nad anchovies and squid and prawn fritto misto. A cut above any Italian I have had in London

Well there goes my Livia impersonation.

We went there for lunch on Saturday as a result of this glowing review, and would have had it on the terrace.

We were so disappointed to find that the menu consisted solely of various not particularly interesting looking salads plus three dishes on bread.

The waitress did say that she would ask the chef if he could cook us something else, but we did not want to put him (I think it's a him) to the trouble, and in any case at 1pm we were the only people in the place, outside or inside, so the atmosphere was not exactly wonderful.

We decided to go elsewhere and try in the evening sometime in the hope that the menu would be more varied and/or interesting.

I realise the salads were probably in response to the very hot weather, and I like salad, but if I spend money on eating out I do expect to get offered something a bit different that I probably wouldn't make at home.

Went on Saturaday. Overall, fairly average. Courgette flowers for starters were nice but you only get 2 of them so for ?7.50 it's a little steep. Shared the courgette pasta and Stella pizza (which is actually some sort of calzone). Again, small portion for of the pasta which needed a bit more of a sauce. The pizza was probably the pick of the bunch but didnt seem to have all of the toppings listed on the menu. Service was slow and a bit chaotic. Il Mirto has nothing to fear.

Montalbano is supposed to be Sicilian, not Sardinian.
