calamari

New food and drink items on these menus include select wines and locally-crafted beers, sausage and peppers, fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms and more.

I didn't have any such control over the homebattered salt and pepper calamari with garlic mayo (PS7.95) for my starter.

The 'classics' include Cappon Magro -- a warm seafood salad from the port city of Genoa comprising of mussels, clams, calamari, sea bass, prawns and scallops tossed with some homemade pesto, broccoli, carrots, white cauliflower and Tuscan bread in white vinegar.

Despite both the calamari and steak bites sounding incredibly appetising, my boyfriend swayed us towards the seafood option.

Premium meats and seafood, including Steaks, Angus Beef, Pork Belly flavour, Shrimps, and Calamari - best paired with bottomless wine!

Hubby and I shared three plates of divine salt cod and calamari paella, pheasant wrapped in Serrano ham and lamb chops on a bed of courgette puree washed down with a lovely Tempranillo.

EVENING Fly back to New Zealand for some calamari from Prego in Auckland accompanied by some Felton Road riesling with my nearest and dearest.

It had to be the seafood for me so I went for the King Prawn Lazuk (PS5.95) to start while Sian wanted the Peppered Calamari (PS3.95).

I went for the calamari -- one of my personal favourites -- and was not disappointed.

While the focus is on seafood with traditional Greek staples such as tenderly cooked calamari and sea bream (one of the best meals I tasted on the trip), I also enjoyed an Italian classic - squid ink risotto - it tastes a lot better than it looks!
