Bragazzi's on Friday night

There's an Italian deli not far from where Freyja lives called Bragazzis.  In addition to  the delicatessen, they also sell what may well be the best coffee in Sheffield.  Ian loves it.  So do Freyja and I.

Recently, they opened a restaurant which is only open for limited hours Thursday - Sunday (I think because of local planning reasons).

Freyja thought that it would be a fun place to take Ian on his last evening with us before he returned to Melbourne.

Alas.  It was fully booked.

However, Freyja's pal Simon knows Tom and Tom works there and he managed to get us a late sitting.  We may have had to wait until 21:00 to get fed.  We may had had to pre-order our food.  But boy was it worth it!

The aubergine and cracked pepper soup was lovely (although mine seemed to have more than its fair share of cracked pepper!)  Ian really enjoyed his parma ham. Freyja's squash and lentils were more than acceptable.  Taffa wolfed down her rack of lamb.  And if nothing else - the sea bass that Ian, The Builder, Gaz and I all had was more than worth the wait.  It was absolutely delicious.

The ice cream that filled the cracks wasn't bad either.

And Tom (see above) made Ian the best macchiato coffee that Ian has ever had outside of Melbourne.

So a good meal for Ian's last evening.  If you can get a table, I thoroughly commend Bragazzis to you.  It isn't an extensive menu, but the food is fresh, well prepared and seasonal
