Now not one, but two, new restaurants have opened perched high on Red Hill above the nation’s capital, we managed to visit and try both. First the fine-dining restaurant, Lunetta and then the more casual space, Lunetta Trattoria. Both are well-designed and well-presented venues, worthy of their lofty status above the city.
After our recent triumphant evening enjoying the offerings of Lunetta, perched high above the nation’s capital on Red Hill, we returned to sample the trattoria downstairs at the historic round Red Hill pavilion and we weren't disappointed.
One is never enough, and two is far too many
It’s important to start and finish a night out with a fine drink. In this case, I began with a dry martini – only one, because as the saying goes, ‘one is never enough and two is always far too many, or as the great Dorothy Parker observed ‘I like to have a martini/Two at the very most/After three I'm under the table/After four I'm under my host.’ My version was made with Prohibition gin, maidenii dry Vermouth and huge (and excellent) Sicilian green olives.
