Putney Pies really great

Putney Pies is like a gastro pub with amazing homemade pies. The environment is unexpectedly interesting, there is an underground floor that looks like a tunnel and leads to a back garden facing the river. Upstairs the environment is nice too with old wood tables and pub feeling. There is soft music upstairs, and lauder downstairs. it's a perfect place for lunch or just drinks during the day and for a night out with friends in the evening. We had seafood pot pie and a steak and ale pie, they came with a side and they were delicious.

If I was the owner I would write in big characters outside "back garden river facing" to attract more people, the place is definetly worth and I would recommend it.

We spent 22 pounds.

It's dog friendly too!

Great seafood in Misano Adriatico, Italy

It's one of my favorite place for seafood in Italy. It's a family run restaurant always crowded with locals. The price is low, food is good and portions are generous.
Last night it was two of us, we had two portions of homemade strozzapreti with seafood and only one portion of mixed grilled seafood.
Pasta was great, full of baby clams from Adriatic sea, some prawns and some crabs with a few fresh cherry tomatoes to tight everything.
Grilled seafood was huge, there were 3 different big fishes, prawns and blue fishes from Adriatic sea.
It was really a shame two of the big fishes were not very fresh. Coming from the seaside makes easy for me to taste fresh seafood and I was a bit disappointed when I ate them. Everything else was fresh and tasty.
The service is poor, owners are friendly sometimes but rude when the restaurant is full and they are in a rush. There isn't any waiter a part of two if them and sometimes it can take 20 minutes before the come to take the order.
We spent 45€, we had also a quarter of wine and water.
Even if I was not happy with all of the mixed seafood this is still a place where I like going for eating good food, big portions for a cheap price. Recommended for dinner with friends and family.
