So a couple of weeks ago my brother and I celebrated our birthday. He can down to Canberra to visit for GTM and it was nice for us to be together on the day (first time in about 5 years I think!)
Of course we had to go out for dinner, and knowing how everyone in my family loves Italian food we decided to go to dieci e mezzo. It's not the cheapest Italian but is super, super delicious and I think worth the price (you pay maybe $6 more for a main than say, at Mama's but the quality is about 60% better I feel!). The food was too delicious to stop to take pictures of but the OYSTERS! They definitely have the best oysters in Canberra- I have had my fair share, being a big seafood fan, but these are extra delicious. I would go just for the oysters.
One thing I did take pictures of were the desserts! The chef very nicely made me a special dessert to fit with my dietary requirements:
It was absolutely one of the best things that I have ever eaten! Fluffy, melt in your mouth style and complete with a chocolate birthday message. I mean what more could a girl want?
There were also some other delicious treats including 'lightly poached Eden blueberries, Italian meringue, lemon curd and blueberry ice-cream' and 'maple syrup, polenta and orange cake, marmalade ice cream':
Unfortunately I was not able to get a picture of the other birthday dessert, the 'Amedel Toscano chocolate delice with peanut ice cream and peanut fudge crumble as it went far, far too quickly. I am told the ice cream actually tasted like peanut butter! I think it was the favourites of the desserts. But I liked my souffle best :)
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice fancy dinner that is not ridiculously overpriced. Or, if you are sick of having dessert and being faced with the same cake options at every single restaurant and cafe, I would suggest popping in just for the dessert!
Dieci e Mezzo is on the ground floor of the new ActewAgl Building in Canberra City.
10 and half out of 10! (ha ha just my little joke).
