Just had dinner at Roscioli, partly because of the recommendations here. It's clearly a place you want to like, partly because it ticks all the boxes of what you expect from a neighbourhood Italian restaurant (and they have an unbelievable wine list). Sadly the food was only ok. I had the mozzarella and anchovy starter, which was much too salty (anchovies obviously but bufalo was way off). The Carbonara did't really work for me either; much too stodgy, with the most al dente pasta I've had in a long time (still tasting grainy), and too much cheese and yolk...just too much of everything. I'll go back to give them another chance, because the atmosphere is brilliant, and because I enjoyed their 2008 Rosso del Conto at the bargain price of €50.
