Cafe Corretto ★★ $$

Bruschetta Prosciutto @ $4.80 AUD

My housemate was up for something different so we decided to go further. We checked Urbanspoon out and spotted Corretto which is highly rated.

The restaurant is brightly lighted with a F1 car model hanging from the ceiling.

Bruschetta Prosciutto @ $4.80 AUD

Roasted Herb Bread drizzled with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and topped Tomato,Onion,Herb and Prosciutto. Too much oil was added and tomato was not so fresh.

Cardinaie Fettucine @ $12 AUD (Entree)

Fettucine with Chicken, Avocado, Fresh Tomato, Cream Sauce, Parmesan Cheese, Basil, Parsley and hint of Napoli Sauce. Couldn't find much chicken, only a few chicken strips. Sauce was bland. Decent dish compared to the rest.

Small Zucca Pizza @ $12.40 AUD

Oven-baked pizza with Mozzarella Cheese, Roasted Pumpkin, Roasted Zucchini, Semi dried Tomato, Ricotta Cheese, Bocconcini Cheese, Olives, Parsley and Basil. Ingredients weren't that fresh. Ingredients didn't complement one another. Too much cheese was used. Crust was decent, not too thick and not too thin. Slightly oily at the bottom.

Small Florentina Pizza @ $11.40 AUD

Oven-baked pizza with Mozzarella Cheese, Pesto, Semi dried Tomato, Parmesan Cheese, Bocconcini Cheese, Olives, Artichokes, Parsley and Basil. Crust was decent but toppings didn't complement one another. And again too much cheese was used.

Crepe with Strawberry Jam and Ice Cream @ $9.50 AUD

Warned my housemate that ordering crepe here wasn't a good idea but he insisted on trying it. I was laughing all the way when the crepe came. Vanilla Ice Cream tasted like homebrand Ice Cream. Strawberry Jam was very dull in color which made it look not appealing. Crepe had a squishy texture too it which was off. Wouldn't recommend this.
