Experience the Heart of Italy at Kensington’s Como Garden

The moment you step into Como Garden, nestled in the quaint neighbourhood of Kensington, you are immediately transported into the heart of Italy. The inviting ambience of the eatery, coupled with the delightful array of dishes, all conspire to create a truly magical dining experience.

As you explore the menu, you will notice the variety of Italian starters. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Fried Zucchine with its crispy coating and earthy flavors is a revelation – a hearty reminder of how Italian cuisine can make the ordinary extraordinary. The Bruschetta with fresh Tomato & Basil on the other hand, is a symphony of vibrant, tangy flavors; the ripened tomatoes contrasting wonderfully with the sweet and peppery basil, leaving your palate craving for more.

Among the many gems to be discovered here is the Pesto Beef Carpaccio & Parmesan. The pairing of pesto with beef carpaccio may sound unusual, but the combination works wonders. The intense pesto enhances the delicate flavor of the beef, creating a refreshing medley that makes your taste buds sing. If you’re a fan of seafood, don’t skip the Garlic Prawns with Lime & Olive Oil; it’s a masterful dish that walks the tightrope between zesty lime, aromatic garlic, and succulent prawns with remarkable finesse.

Turning to the section labeled ‘Grilled, Fried & Marinated’, your eyes will be immediately drawn to the Fired Calamari & Parsley Aioli. Generously portioned and cooked to perfection, the calamari finds its ideal companion in the creamy, fragrant aioli. Next is the Grilled Sirloin, a steak that is so tender, so divine, it’s like a love letter to your taste buds – a must-try for every meat lover.

Their home-made pasta is equally impressive, the Mafaldine with Veal Ragu being a standout. The pasta is velvety and the veal ragu transports you straight to the rustic kitchens of Tuscany. The dish is comfort food at its finest, and one that you’d be hard-pressed not to fall in love with.

The comforting aroma of the freshly baked Home-made Italian bread is a perfect side to complement your meal. A dip into olive oil sprinkled with sea salt makes for a simple, but truly satisfying indulgence.

Prepare for a sweet finale at Como Garden with their exceptional desserts. The Tiramisu, an Italian classic, boasts a divine blend of coffee-soaked sponge and creamy mascarpone – a delight not to be missed. The showstopper, however, is their unique and creative homemade doughballs. Stuffed with a choice of pistachio, Nutella, or caramel, they provide an unexpected delight. Pairing these with the Tiramisu, especially the Nutella doughballs, creates a harmonious fusion of flavours that’ll leave you craving for more. At Como Garden, the dessert is not merely an afterthought but a delicious exclamation point to a symphony of culinary delights.
