Frigo

At Frigo, the chef’s-choice pizza and pasta are natural places to start. Some diners have enjoyed the chef’s-choice pizza enough to order it repeatedly, while others mention pizzas and pastas made with seasonal vegetables—a chance to try a dish that changes with the season. The menu also includes vegetable-rich tomato spaghetti, Sicilian-style sardine spaghetti, prawn tagliatelle in tomato cream sauce, and gnocchi with Gorgonzola and black olives. There are options for those who want vegetables to take the lead, as well as diners drawn to the flavours of sardines, prawns or cheese.

For an evening that starts with a small plate and a drink, consider the “Tipsy Set”. It pairs a small antipasti platter with draft beer, white or red wine, or a soft drink. The first drink can be changed to craft beer or natural wine for an additional charge. One diner who ordered the set felt that even the small platter came in a generous portion. It offers an easy starting point for a solo drink or for a meal where you want to enjoy some antipasti before deciding what to order next.

À la carte starters include ajillo served with bread and chicken liver pâté with baguette, both easy to share at the table. One diner paired ajillo with bread and finished with the chef’s-choice pasta, and the menu can work for anything from a light dinner to an evening built around several dishes. To go with the food, choose from white or red wine, or sangria. This casual Italian restaurant lets you make the meal about the main dishes, or keep things simple with antipasti and a drink.
