Don Ciccio Osteria Siciliana

Personally, I am always impressed by a restaurant which has a good choice of fish on the menu and I don't mean the usual salmon steak or grilled prawns. Which is why I was impressed by Don Ciccio in Highgate,  as I found an exciting choice. The Sicilian heritage of this Italian restaurant is obvious, and I found Sicilian Octopus, Baked Swordfhish Rolls, Fritto Misto - some dishes served with Sicilian Caponata.  The Sicilian Octopus was tender and fresh, very tasty. A restaurant which is not open on a Monday to me always means that the fish has just come in freh on a Tuesday, when the first fish deliveries of the week are made. I also liked their Caprese Salad, with the addition of capers, a lovely kick of flavour on the palate. Next time I want to try their Linguine Lobster. Until it's warm enough, the huge glass doors are open and it makes the place even brigher than it is. I liked the Sicilian Ceramics, in keeping with the restaurant. Not cheap, but not too expensive either and the food was really good. I would return.
