TimeOut

TimeOut - 4/6

Thursday, November 27, 2008 - Bar Trattoria Semplice is an offshoot of the very elegant Ristorante Semplice just a polpette’s throw away on Blenheim Street. All gold swirls, leather, hushed tones and fine dining, it’s a restaurant we’ve always found a little too buttoned-up for an Italian. While you’d never call this new trattoria cheap, it is less expensive than down the road...Roast lamb shank with peppers and fregola pasta, and red mullet baked with tomato and potatoes were generous in portion and just as liberal with flavour.

In a handy location off Oxford St and Bond St.,this place is ideal for a nice lunch especially while shopping.Costs can escalate quickly however.Thus the best deal is the fixed price special.For £10 each we had sliced bresaola on a bed of rucola,followed by a hot and piping lasagne bolognese.The lasagne was probably re-heated,but lasagne is generally better this way,than straight out of the oven,as it gets to "set" nicely.The lasagne was meaty,with nice bechamel,and good layers of pasta.It was not gloopy or overdone.Forget desserts,there is more shopping to be done!With a carafe of water,this is a perfect lunch,inexpensive and a break from the shops.

Go for it!
