Grasso

Grasso was visited for a birthday dinner. The reviewer highlights the mozzarella sticks with nduja and wild honey as standout starters, describing them as among the best they have had. Portions are notably large — a shared chicken parm with spaghetti fed two people comfortably, and the pizza was substantial enough to take home as leftovers. The setting is described as cosy, welcoming, and family-friendly. A disco-themed toilet downstairs is called out as a memorable detail.

Blank Street Coffee in London is praised for its seasonal pastry menu. The reviewer specifically tried two new items: the white chocolate gingerbread cookie and the white chocolate cherry loaf. The gingerbread cookie, described as pairing well with matcha, received the highest praise for its festive flavour. The cherry loaf is noted as fruity, described as resembling a cherry bakewell tart, and recommended for those who enjoy fruit-forward desserts. Both items are strongly recommended. The café's vibe and service are exceptional, with mid-range pricing.
