It&#8217;s lovely to sit on the sofa now with a big mug of tea and rest, now all is done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Izzie went for a sleepover to her friend&#8217;s on Thursday, which meant we were child free and could go and dine in a place that doesn&#8217;t have pizza margharita on the menu. I was lucky to book us a table in Osteria Da Pasquale; we&#8217;ve been there once before with Steve and Christina, I remember it being good, but can&#8217;t recall a single thing we have eaten back then. The dinner we had on Thursday was one of the best meals we&#8217;ve had in Italy so far. THAT good! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as we sat down we were greeted with a glass of prosecco and a bag of delicious bread. We quite quickly decided what we wanted to eat, and so I started with scallops with Tropea onions, the dish that Dennis said was exquisite, Florex went for beef tartar, just perfect, not overseasoned, fresh and delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2025\/04\/1000022435.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2025\/04\/1000022435.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2025\/04\/1000022435.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2025\/04\/1000022435-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I went for lamb, that day&#8217;s special, Florek had a beef fillet, cooked raw, super tender, according to him one of the best steaks ever.
