Villa Novella

Corey and I dined at Villa Novella last night in Central. The atmosphere is a little bleak, the cutlery flimsy, but the food is really good. The owner advertises himself as trained in Italy and claims the place offers a taste of Tuscany. Having been lucky enough to have been spoiled by the genuine article, I was a bit skeptical. Well, looks (and tastes!) like the training paid off! I had the fried oyster appetizer special. Very tasty! Adopting seafood as the theme, I then had lobster ravioli (lobster in anything is delicious) for the primi piatti followed by the shrimp and scallops sauteed with a roasted red pepper pesto sauce for the secondi piatti. All good. I'm looking forward to returning there to sample other items on the menu.
