The Gaudie<\/span><\/i> were invited to the newly reopened <\/span>Prezzo <\/span><\/i>on the second floor of Union square. The restaurant\u2019s walls are decorated boldly with a myriad of Pinterest-esque pictures. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was served without much wait.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu was stacked with delicious choices and even had a whole separate menu for Emily, who is gluten-free, which was greatly appreciated. Not to mention the restaurant has the Coeliac UK stamp of approval! The staff were very accommodating to dietary requirements, and brought the gluten-free food to the table separately from the gluten-containing food.<\/span><\/p>\n

We each had three courses and shared a bottle of wine, all costing just under \u00a3150.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For my starter I had the <\/span>Hot H<\/span><\/i>oney Glazed Mozzarella Sticks<\/i>, \u00a38.75. Perfectly coated with golden brown bread crumbs, these mozzarella sticks were delicious. The cheese was stringy and thick and laying on a bed of marinara and pesto. The sauce perfectly balanced out the savoury flavour of the cheese providing an almost sweetness. I gave these mozzarella sticks 4.5\/5 * with my only criticism being that there wasn’t more! – Hannah<\/p>\n

Calamari<\/span><\/i>, \u00a39.25 Small bites of fried squid accompanied with a pesto-infused mayonnaise dipping sauce. Fresh and crunchy<\/span>\u00a0– a great start to the meal. I gave the calamari 4\/5*- Oliver<\/p>\n

For my starter I had the <\/span>Gluten Free Tomato Bruschetta <\/span><\/i>for \u00a38.45. I was treated to beautifully caramelised tomato and red onions, a touch of balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of pesto and fresh basil. The base had a slightly tough consistency, making it difficult to cut into, but nevertheless, had a lovely flavour. Overall, I would give this dish a 3\/5 * – Emily\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mains\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

When at an Italian restaurant, my go to is the <\/span>Spaghetti Carbonara<\/span><\/i>; it is my absolute favourite pasta! This \u201cItalian classic\u201d at <\/span>Prezzo<\/span><\/i>\u00a0will cost you \u00a316.95. The creamy pasta was full of pieces of pancetta. I will say I found it a little bit too smokey with an overly savoury flavour. I gave it 3\/5 *- Hannah\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lasagna<\/span><\/i>, \u00a317.95. An Italian restaurant staple, this simply presented beef L<\/span>asagna packed a good amount of flavour between its layers. The rich ragu sauce and melted cheese topping made this a delightfully comforting, well-portioned main meal. 4\/5*- Oliver<\/p>\n

For mains I had the <\/span>Gluten Free Fusilli Chicken Carbonara Al Forno <\/span><\/i>for \u00a321.95. For the pasta lovers out there – you will not be disappointed! You need not worry about mushy, flavourless gluten-free pasta. This dish was a creamy and cheesy delight, with a mix of chicken, pancetta and prosciutto! As a bonus, it paired delightfully with the complimentary Sauvignon Blanc poured for us upon entry. This straight-from-the-oven comfort was a 4\/5 * – Emily\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dessert<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"

Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake<\/span><\/i>, \u00a38.50<\/span>. <\/b>With spongy layers, this was more of a Madeira cake than a cheesecake, and the overwhelming cherry flavour made it hard to detect any cinnamon. Nonetheless, a nicely presented tasty treat to conclude the meal. 3\/5* – Oliver\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was truly shocked to see something other than a gluten-free brownie be the only option on the dessert menu (if you know, you know). Aside from the Italian classic <\/span>Affogato,<\/span><\/i> selections of ice-cream and sorbets, gluten-free folks can also enjoy the <\/span>Hot Chocolate Fudge Cake<\/span><\/i> for \u00a37.95! This very rich, warm dessert complimented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream deserves a 5\/5 * – Emily<\/span><\/p>\n
