Lunch Date with My Mr.

A lunch date with my Mr. was ideal for celebrating the wonderful time we have been together. We went to Jamie's Italian Restaurant on 107 Pitt Street, Sydney. Tucked away on Pitt Street, it was a lovely place to dine in for two, or plenty.

Jamie's Italian Restaurant only do bookings of a group of 6 or more. So, it was a first in best dressed seating if you're less than 6 people. Lucky for us on the day, it was only a 10-15 minute wait to get seated, we didn't mind the wait since I was the one that wanted to eat here because of the huge rave about Jamie's.

When first walking in, I thought it was quite small. You step in and several bar stools with high benches in the waiting bay near the bar. We sat here for a bit to be seated for our table. Our seats were finally available, and we were situated upstairs near the railings.



For entree we had the Crispy Squid with garlicky mayo and lemon. It was a small proportion but tasted good. The pieces were too small for my liking, especially at a price of $12.

Also, we before the entree came along, a small box filled with assorted bread. I didn't get to take a picture of it because when it was placed on the table, we devoured it in a flash! :)

After wondering waiting a while after the entrees came, my stomach was very hungry!! Thinking that they probably forgot about our food, a lovely waitress checked our mains and here they come - speak of the devil! Yummy!!

Middle: Polenta Chips,
Below: Prawn Linguine

Grilled Chicken marinated with a tomato, olive, chilli and caper sauce.

So my Mr. had the grilled chicken and the famous polenta chips. He said the polenta chips were like those cheese balls but fried, lol. On the other hand, I had the prawn linguine, pan fried garlicky prawns with tomatoes, chilli, rocket, fennel and topped it off with Parmesan cheese. Yum. I picked the small proportion size because I know I eat little, the price for my size was $16. Reasonable price? Taste? Unbelievably yum and it wasn't a bloated full filling, it was more of a light full filling which was good. I would definitely go back for seconds...

Overall experience:
Staff members were polite and friendly. Great service but timing of the foods need to be well planned out a bit more - it felt like I was waiting for 45 minutes for my mains to come out after the entrees we devoured. But nonetheless, it was only a 20 minute wait for the next meal to come along. The food was "sooo good" boasted from my Mr. and I believe it was delicious and amazing. My pasta was light and the flavours were all tasty. The chicken from my Mr. dish was cooked to perfection and the sauce was really good. Well done, Jamie! I would definitely recommend Jamie's Italian Restaurant. I definitely love Italian foods!

You never know, until you give it a go! x
