The Bite offered a 2 course lunch menu for $20. This included a starter, main and drink. For the starter, it was a wood fired crust brushed with olive oil and herbs. This was warm, fresh and tasty. Slightly crispy on the outside and tasty yummy on the inside, bearing a subtle herby and salty taste. This was served with balsamic and olive oil. YUM.
wood fired crust brushed with olive oil and herbsThere was a variety of mains to choose from. My partner and I both felt like pasta. My partner opted for a penne matriciana. This was al dente pasta tossed with spanish onions, ham, and olives, served in a rich napolitana sauce which bore a very slight hint of chilli. This was very very tomatoey and quite rich. My partner seemed to appreciate this quite a bit.
Penne MatricianaI chose the pesto penne. This was really rich and creamy and awesomeness. Served with chicken bits and semi-dried tomato, the creaminess of the basil pesto was to die for. Simple, yet sooooooooo nice. Could eat this sauce with anything~ LOL. Even my partner (who is a dedicated red sauce lover) really liked my pasta.
Pesto PenneHave to say, I was slightly very weary of the time during the whole meal. The pasta took a little while to come out - but the wait was worth it. Service the whole time was by that nice waiter who let us in early. He stayed inside most of the time whilst we sat outside, but nonetheless, remained attentive when we needed him. So overall, it was a pretty decent lunch - especially since it was on a Friday! Damn - I really need to work for the gov.
