Food
- Porco Carne Pizza
- Roast Duck with fennel, garlic & lemon Risotto
The Good
The pizza was overall a good effort. Ingredients were fresh and then flavours complemented each other well. Special mention for the goat’s cheese which really brought out the flavours of the pizza.
The risotto was not bad, with the Aborio rice cooked just right and contained strong flavours from the broth.
The Mediocre
The toppings on the pizza was definitely on the light side. This is most apparent when you observe the size of those so-called “meatballs”.
The Bad
Portion sizes were definitely on the small size, both the pizza and the risotto. While the quality was there, quantity certainly wasn’t and we left still hungry.
The Verdict
Overall an okay meal with semi-decent food. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is authentic Italian because it certainly isn’t.
Just make sure to order more than just two mains or you will be leaving hungry…
Would Penguin Eat Again?
Maybe. There was definitely nothing too notable that would bring me back in a hurry.
