I have just watched the second episode of 'The Trip to Italy' on Catchup TV; I forgot that it was airing last night on BBC2. I love this melancholy comedy featuring Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan; their gentle banter and delightful impressions (which are remarkably accurate) of such celebs as Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins, Roger Moore, et al are a constant joy to watch. But above all this series is about their visits to various Italian restaurants, as Brydon has been commissioned to write another series for The Guardian, acting as a restaurant critic. Coogan goes along for the ride as it were.
This series follows on from the first 'The Trip' where these two visited restaurants in the North of England. I watched that as it was broadcast and have the box set on DVD.
In this latest episode they enjoy lunch at La Cantina, a delightful beachside trattoria located in San Frutuosso, a quaint fishing village nestled in a cove of Portofino. Dishes made with fresh fish and shellfish looked superb and certainly reflected in the price: lunch for two with wine at Euros 170.
I was so captivated by this place that it has been added to my Bucket List. Read about it here: http://www.lacantinasanfruttuoso.it/
