"The name Ombrellino comes from the Italian word for a small umbrella and carries both a literal and symbolic meaning. The main idea is the classic Italian summer atmosphere, where people sit outside under umbrellas, enjoying food and long conversations.At the same time, the umbrella also works as a metaphor for comfort and protection. The idea is that when people enter the restaurant, they can leave their stress outside, feel welcomed and feel protected from the "rain" of everyday life without getting wet. The restaurant follows a neo-traditional Italian style, combining authentic Italian dishes in a modern and minimal aesthetic’’

    A truly unforgettable experience. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was exceptional. This isn't a meal out, it's a 3 hour eating experience. It's hard to pick a favourite course from the tasting menu, as every course was spectacular. If I had to pick a top three: Thai Green Curry Transition, Beef main course and the chocolate dessert. This is a truly exceptional food experience and I would recommend it to anyone. (If you look at the menu and think you may not like one of the courses, don't worry. Everything is so well balanced you will still enjoy it).
