Every so often you find a restaurant that's a little 'extra'. @bucatiniedmonds is just that. They go above and beyond to make your dining experience perfect.

We started with Insalata Caprese and the best Garlic Bread I've ever had made on ciabatta, soft inside, crunchy crust with the perfect cheese topping. I had Bucatini Napolitana with prawns, clams, mussels, octopus and calamari in a mild spicy red sauce. The seafood was tender and cooked perfectly. My husband loved his Bucatini with Meatballs, they were so light and airy. We couldn't pass up dessert. The tiramisu was the best I've had, which says a lot, because if it's on the menu, I've tried it! And Spumoni, come on, you gotta have Spumoni after a fabulous Italian meal!

We were so lucky to have found this gem. We can't wait to go back! Here's what we ordered.

• Vodka with Lime
• Italian Margarita
• Insalata Caprese
• Garlic Bread
• Bucatini Napolitana
• Bucatini with Meatballs and Sausage
• Tiramisu
• Spumoni
