The Tuscan Rye restaurant featured in a recent article in The Telegraph earlier this month. After some criticism of its “stupendously unfashionable” décor to display her London credentials, Food and Drink writer Kathryn Flett finally discovers the food and is bowled over. With her “bloke” in tow, she praises the vitello tonnato followed by pan-seared salt cod (baccala alla caponata).
The tone of her opening remarks left several people quite indignant. However, this was more than compensated by the actual food experience and the friendly atmosphere of the place, with time to enjoy it. It seems that a lack of sophistication is what people value after all in this part of the world.
