A friend of a friend (interesting) suggested that we go for an Italian dinner at Vasco and Piero's Pavilion in the heart of Soho.
This is a small restaurant that was packed all evening. I like the simple decor and the atmosphere that gave the impression we were in somebody's house!
After they sat us to our table, they graciously offered us some prosecco.
This was a nice gesture from them and a good sign that this whole experience would be fantastic!
We ordered some appetizers first. As soon as we saw that they had some burrata on the menu, we ordered it!!!
It was served with cherry tomatoes. The burrata was amazing! The shell was soft and the heart creamy. I could have eaten this all day! It tasted so fresh!
The second appetizer was a pear carpaccio.
That was fantastic! The pear was juicy and sweet and it complemented very well the sharpness of the parmesan. It was a great dish: simple, tasty with clean flavors.
Jodi ordered some tuna.
This was fantastic too! The tagliatelles were soft and eggy and the beef ragu was to die for! Thick and tasty with bold flavors. I think I could have licked the plate.
Last was dessert. As we were in an Italian restaurant, we went for the tiramisu.
It was a phenomenal way of finishing this fantastic dinner! It was very light and creamy. Not too sweet, it had good hints of coffee. Fabulous!
Enjoy (I did)!

Jodi ordered some tuna.
It was seared and served with lentils and spinach. This was delicious! The tuna was perfectly cooked and moist. The presentation was very appetizing. A great dish!
On my side, I ordered the homemade tagliatelles with beef ragu. I went for the small size as they proposed small or regular.

This is definitely a great place to dine in! I loved it and would certainly go back the next time I am in London!
