Otello Trattoria Pizzeria, West End, Brisbane 

Before heading to a marketing event, Clare and I sauntered around in search of dinner. I can never say no to Italian so when Clare suggested it I was already halfway inside the door. 

We started with some lovely calamari and a shared plate of tagliatelle, olives and prawns in a napoli sauce. The pasta was wonderfully fresh and perfectly al dente, the prawns succulent and the sauce the perfect compliment. 

I sipped a lovely Chianti, Clare enjoyed a beer and the service was very helpful. 

It’s a small, quaint and quiet place, I’d love to try a pizza next!
