Some days you eat dinner. And that’s just it: dinner. The food is good, the service genuine, the company entertaining. But there’s nothing more to say. No angle. No concept. No news hook. And on those days you’ve got to let the pictures do the talking.

So here is last week’s Italian dinner at A Tavola (excluding the main course, which was veal with a thickened lemon sauce, which I entirely forgot to photograph). Enjoy the food porn!

Caprese salad and marinated octopus

Roasted peppers

Bresaola

Grilled courgette with garlic
