The Thousands

If too many meals at cheapo roast duck houses have made you miss the part where the waiter lays the napkin lovingly on your lap – you know, flicks it out and then lets it float delicately down to your thighs – Galileo Buona Cucina is your knight in shining amoré. These guys – by ‘guys’ we mean every member of the wait and kitchen staff in the place – really know how to turn on the charm!

This place is definitely not for vegetarians, although fishocrits can have their tastes well satisfied in the form of salt-crusted salmon steak. The most succulent highlights on the menu are definitely of the meaty variety, but seriously, everything here is delicious and well-priced. We recommend starting with veal meatballs, and ending with profiteroles, and taking the thick-accented advice of whichever delightful mains your charming Mediterranean waitperson suggests.
