I've lived in a few areas of Birmingham since I moved here way back 2006. Initially I lorded it up in a nice flat right next to Brindleyplace but, when my post-uni 'champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget' ways caught up with me, I moved a few miles up the road where the houses were … Continue reading Italian dining at @ The Horseshoe Bar and Restaurant

Birthday bites and all the cheese @ Fumo
I've heard a lot of people rave about Fumo over the years but until recently was yet to visit it personally. Part of the San Carlo group, the swish Italian inspired restaurant and cocktail bar is situated on Waterloo Street and is, from what I can gather, always super busy at the weekend. With one … Continue reading Birthday bites and all the cheese @ Fumo
A working lunch @ Bella Italia
In the middle of the week I found myself in town running a few errands and hooking up with someone for a quick lunch meeting.

You'd think that would mean a few days of reining it in, … Continue reading A slice of joy @ Izza Pizza

Having organised him … Continue reading Visiting Milano in The Arcadian Centre
Spring menu tasting for bloggers @ Gusto Birmingham
Apparently it's nearly May.. not that you'd know if you peeked outside your window right now. There’s something quite strange about sampling a summer menu when snow is falling and the wind is (quite literally) ripping your umbrella from your hands, but nevertheless on Tuesday night I dug my winter coat back out from hibernation … Continue reading Spring menu tasting for bloggers @ Gusto Birmingham
Place your bets: The Restaurant, Broadway Casino
I've never been much of a gambler, but when we visited Las Vegas (and subsequently booked our wedding!) in October last year I got quite a taste for Blackjack. With our forthcoming nuptials in Sin City at the forefront of mind, I was delighted to be invited to Broadway Casino to check out their Italian … Continue reading Place your bets: The Restaurant, Broadway Casino
