We went to Sabatini for lunch buffet today. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. It's like one of those restaurants you find in Italian villas. Not trying to be chic and modern, but cozy and relaxing.Back to the food. The waiters offered us sparkling wine or fruit juices as soon as we were seated. The sparkling wine was okay, but I quite liked the orange juice with pulps.There was a starter buffet which consists of the following:Chilled seafood (Lobster, giant prawns, mussels and crab) - Th
Back to the food. The waiters offered us sparkling wine or fruit juices as soon as we were seated. The sparkling wine was okay, but I quite liked the orange juice with pulps.
There was a starter buffet which consists of the following:
Chilled seafood (Lobster, giant prawns, mussels and crab) - They all tasted fresh although the crab was little on the salty side. The prawn however was excellent.
Cold cuts - I am not an expert when it comes to cold meats, but my bf who is an expert in this said it was very good.
Vegetables (grilled aubergine, sun dried tomatoes, mozzerella and cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, grilled courgettes, stuffed pepper with tuna, articokes, etc) - some of them had the chargrill taste that I really like. Most of them were upto expectation.
There were also smoked salmon (I would have preferred slightly more salty), spanish omlette, beef caparcio (tastes a lot better if you add a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper) and salad leaves (very fresh).
Besides the cold starters, there were also tomatoe soup, sashimi toast (absolutely delicious although not very Italian) and pasta. There were either a tomatoe sauce or creamy salmon sauce with linguine or spaghetti. We ordered creamy salmon spaghetti and it was al-dente and very tasty.
One thing that I have to mention is the bread basket. I love the long white bread stick. I don't know the name of that type of bread, but it was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
There were a choice of 5 or 6 main dishes (Foie Gras, Pasta, Steak, Grilled Chicken, Cod Fillet, ..) We both ordered the cod fillet which came with capers in tomatoe sauce and wild broccoli. The fish was pan fried - the skin was crispy and the meat was very tender.
To finish the meal, there were the dessert buffet and coffee. There was a chocolate mousse wth vanilla mousse. I thought that was the best dessert out of all the ones I tried. I thought the tiramisu was average because I could taste a lot of alcohol at the bottom layer of cake, but none at all at the middle layer. The blueberry cheesecake was just okay. The fruits (blueberries, strawberries, etc) however were very fresh.
The coffee was not the best I have tasted but it was okay.
Overall, I think the food was excellent and authentic. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was good. The cost was reasonable.
