Its all a bit new to me :-) |

My missus went to school with a couple of the Botta boys who now run the business.
That's all I've got to say about that.

What's the name of the Italian restaurant where the rocking emporium used to be? They serve up a lovely meal there and the garlic bread is very special, it's the future, as they say. Can anyone compare between this one and bottelinos?

Best Italian, in my opinion, is La Carbonara. That place makes my mouth water just thinking about it. (I've never eaten at Fratello's though.) To be honest almost all the Italians I've eaten at in Swindon are of a high standard.

Fratellos is decent, been there once. It takes a real man to finish the Calzone as it's so massive (I didn't).
I think the pizzas are Bottelinos forte, the pasta dishes are decent but don't make me want more. I go to Bottelinos quite a bit for lunch now, for a fiver the dishes are great value for money.
I still haven't been to La Carbonara but everyone I've spoken to who has been there has said good things.

The food's nice. But I hate the way they hang around the table and drool over my women (an Italian trait I know). |

You could leave the car under the bridges and climb in through the window, by the graffito which says No Nazi War...
Doesnt it say no Nazi Army? Saw a picture of the old Bruce street bridges the other day, and they had the same graffiti on them. Its amazing that graffiti has been there so long. You wonder if they actually preserve it. The tagging on the Wootton Bassett road bridge at Rushey Platt gets painted over every couple of months. |

la carbonara is indeed very very nice, but they were fully booked when i rang up, so decided to go bottelinos instead. I think i will work my way around the itallian restaurants in swindon.
