Watson and Walpole + Beviamo + The Ice Cream Shop

I've wanted to eat in Watson and Walpole for some time and we weren't disappointed. Well trained, attentive front of house staff gave very slick service from the moment we artived. We sat down and tucked our little dog into a corner with a chew. The food was absolutely delicious. Please make sure you order zucchini fritti to snack on with your aperitivo, they're matchstick size, well seasoned, crunchy wonders, and they offered to make them gluten free so the husband (who doesn't ordinarily like courgette) could scoff them too. No complaints about the stuffed zucchini flower for me and woodfire grilled sardines for him to start. The husband is a ragù expert and he said his veal ragù with perfectly cooked gluten free pasta was the best he'd eaten anywhere. My Suffolk pork chop was outstanding with little fried mild green chillies. And our friend's lobster looked first rate. Deserts were just right for when you're really too full to eat another thing! My coffee slush with Frangelico and a home made almond biscuit boulder on the side just fitted in as did our friends vanilla ice cream. It's a bit of a schlep from Norwich (where we also have a much loved independent local Italian) but worth the effort. Outstanding. Thank you.
