Spuntino Review: Now With Decent Photos
The other day another blogger asked me if half the photos from my Spuntino post were from a PR agency and the ther half mine. It’s a compliment really, as they were all mine from a really rubbish old phone with some post processing. Granted I clearly should have left the ropey half out but I wanted to leave them in. I have had no contact with the PR agency whatsoever, for the record. It was a walk in visit, as I like to do.
I liked it so much, I went back again a week later, and now I love it more. Why? The olives. The olives? The olives are stuffed with anchovies and breadcrumbed then deep fried. Unbelievably rich and intense and salty, and I wanted more. So I got more. And I plotted to make them when I got home.
So here are some proper pictures so that you can get a real feel for the place – in a fancy new slideshow too. I am not sure what I think of it yet but thought I should give it a go. Get the olives if you go, the beef and bone marrow slider and the truffled egg toast. Wash it all down with some wine, contemplate some dessert, definitely have a cocktail. Swoon.

Liking the one with Russell in the background and behind him, outside, the XXX shop!
Cheers Kavey!
Italians call those OLIVE ASCOLANE!
Veeeeery nice!
Lovely pics Niamh.
OOOOH! Just googled that – some fab recipes out there. Will have to try! Thanks.
Nope, no slideshow for me I’m afraid. Too much clicky clicky to see all the pics, I’m a traditional “scroll down and avoid RSI” kinda girl :o) Please bring back the old format! :o)
I think you’re right – will change it!
needed an excuse to return: you inspired me! =)
need to try those olives!
Enjoy, Jing!
How the hell did we miss those olives the first time?! Jeez.
Went there earlier this week in the middle of the afternoon and had the mac and cheese, salt beef slider and the fritters. So good.
