Whilst the menu itself has many of the Italian culprits, in a clever twist, the mains change daily to make the most of fresh and seasonal produce. The cocktail list is also a must go-to, with the cocktails changing seasonally.
To start with we tried the Panzerotti vegetariani (fried pizza dough stuffed with friarelli and mozzarella) and prosciutto crudo D.O.P. Whilst the Panzerotti vegetariani didn't look overly inspiring, it was actually my favourite dish of the night. The light and crispy fried dough contrasted beautifully with the warm and gooey mozzarella centre - topped off with a fresh and flavoursome tomato sauce, these little parcels were an absolute delight.
In an enchanting touch to the night, the Margherita Pizza arrived with a story behind its name - in 1988, during Queen Margherita's visit to Naples, chef Raffaele Esposito and his wife created a pizza resembling the colours of the Italian flag (tomatos for red, mozzarella for white and basil for green) and named it after the Queen. Unfortunately the pizza was not quite as enchanting as the story. Whilst the tomato sauce was bursting with fresh flavours, with such a thin crust, by the time the pizza arrived at our table the dough had become soggy.
The veal shank was the perfect example of good simple food made delicious - with only a few elements on the dish, the produce was cooked well and the flavours were the stars of the show. The meat was tender and fell off the bone, the gravy rich and flavoursome, and the mash was so smooth it was almost the consistency of butter.
Unfortunately the desert was on the dissapointing side. The tiramisu, whilst by no means awful, tasted as though it had been sitting pre-constructed in the fridge for a couple of days and definitely was not a highlight of the night.
Offering fresh, seasonal produce, and with staff as warm and welcoming as the venue, I'd highly recommend keeping Eat'aliano on your radar if looking for an Italian eatery in Windsor.
Food: 3/5
Décor: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Total: 11/15
Verdict: Like - get around to trying it at some point.
