About this place
For a lunch that runs from appetizers through to dessert, Pennarosso offers a set combining an assorted appetizer plate, pasta chosen from 4 options, dessert, and coffee or tea. One diner recalled tender meat among the appetizers, with just the right amount of salt and oil coating thick pasta. It is a meal designed to take you from the first bites to a final cup of coffee or tea.
Pasta options include meat sauce and carbonara, as well as the daily tomato pasta with basil and aubergine, and the daily shio pasta with white shrimp and cabbage in an anchovy flavour. One diner described the carbonara as rich and peppery. On another lunch visit, blood orange mousse provided a sweet-and-tart, refreshing finish after creamy pasta.
For a more substantial meal, the menu also features porcini mushroom risotto with smoked mozzarella and a mixed pizza described as having a crisp crust. At lunch, you can centre your meal on a choice of pasta or take your time over the appetizers and dessert. It is a flexible way to shape the meal, with something to look forward to after the main course too.
