Bicicletta - Canberra

It's nice to feel like your eating home cooked meal away from home which is exactly the experience I had this evening on a one night work trip. Linguine ai frutti di mare had the freshest seafood the right amount of chilli and the perfect amount of sugo that gets left on the side of your mouth when you suck up the pasta. Very impressed ????

Yum! Lovely (hidden) Italian restaurant in Canberra. We visited her for a weekend and was recommended this place. The pizzas were oven toasted and delicious, the gnocci were light and fluffy and full of flavour.

The Dear Luncher marauds his way around the country sometimes and he's currently visiting the nation's capital. As The Dear Luncher has a bit of a lazy streak, opting to dine at places near the accommodation is preferred. Bicicletta was one such option and it did not disappoint. Popular eatery in amongst several hotels, The Dear Luncher was treated to a swift dinner that involved pizza and red wine. Well worth a visit if you are in the vicinity. A truly authentic Italian experience. thedearluncher.wordpress.com

Will be going here for New Year's dinner however given our booking experience we are a little apprehensive. No response to emails and when we phoned the promised call back for booking was not forthcoming. Finally after several attempts a booking was secured. I wanted to remain positive however that our dining experience would edeem this establishment. So on the night we arrived and after looking at the menu online we were keen to try a few things. We were then presented with the fixed menu for the night. This had not been mentioned at any time when the booking was made and, considering the available choices offered we would probably have decided to eat elsewhere. The food was presented in a timely manner and well presented but there was nothing stand-outish about either the gnocchi or the chicken main. Also, the special cocktail on offer, a champagne negroni, tasted more of soda water than anything else. Unfortunately with the high level of competition from quality establishments in Canberra right now for the dining dollar I don't think I will try this place again.
