Giginos

Giginos is one of my local Pizza places hidden amongst a residential area. Chances are that most people will be unaware of it due to its location, and separation from the buzzing meccas.However, if you wish to venture – you shall be rewarded with some excellent food.

Giginos can be found in Fairfield West. But make sure you book ahead of time, it is a very popular small restaurant with very limited seating.

 

 

Jamie’s Italian – Sydney Australia

This was actually my second time visiting Jamie’s Italian in Sydney. However the first time we went, I ended up with a nasty stomach bug just before the night and couldn’t stomach anything.

Skip several months later and here I am.

We started off with the Fried Three Cheese Gnocchi and Fiery Arrabiata sauce. Quite tasty but I wouldn’t be calling it fiery though.

Our second Entree was the Baked Mushroom.  Buffalo Mozzarella and mushrooms surrounded by crispy bread. I think I enjoyed the crispy bread more than the cheese and mushrooms.

For mains i had Jamie’s Signature Porchetta. i.e Pork Belly with Watercress.

I tend accompany most of my meals with salad so would have liked a little more Watercress.
