Si - Restaurants In Tonbridge - The Kent Guide To Eating Out

You'll guess from the name that Si is all about Italian food. A fair sized menu with most pasta dishes costing under £6, the emphasis is on good Italian food with no frills in a stylish café style environment. Good attentive service can make or break this kind of restaurant and I'm pleased to report the young waiting staff were fast, friendly and efficient.

The menu is divided up into; Starters, Salads, Specialties, Pasta and Pizzas, and there is a reasonable wine list.

The starters are particularly good at Si, a very tasty Insalata di Tonno (Tuna, tomato and onion salad) costs around £4 and a Baresana (Grilled bread with asparagus, cheese and ham) will set you back £2.95. For my main course I tried Fettuccine alla Romana, which was well presented in a decent sized portion, the pasta was "al dente" with a very palatable cream, ham and mushroom sauce. My dining partner sampled a Ham, Rocket and Cheese Pizza, nice base and a delicious topping.

Other highlights from the menu include:

Starters:

Veneziano - Baked prawns on fresh bread with béchamel sauce and garlic
Melanzane - Aubergine on grilled bread with a tomato sauce and cheese

Salads:

Caprese - Grilled goat's cheese, mixed salad, peppers and olives
Carciofini - Artichokes, mixed leaf salad, olives with parmesan

Specialties:

Lasagne - Pasta al forno
Bistecca ai funghi - Char grilled steak with fettuccini in a cream and mushroom sauce

Pasta:

Spaghetti Napolitana - Fresh tomato and basil sauce
Penne al gamberetti - Prawns in a cream and tomato sauce

Pizza:

Amalfi - Fresh chopped tomatoes, goats cheese and herbs
Fantasia - Asparagus, ham, tomato and mozzarella

Si is open:

11.45am - 10.45pm Monday to Saturday
12.00noon - 10.00pm on Sunday

In terms of accessibility the restaurant is a level open plan with a small step down from the front door and there are smoking and non-smoking areas.

Si offers good quality value for money Italian food, is equally suited to a brief lunchtime snack or a multi course dinner and we look forward to a return visit.

Si doesn't take reservations on Friday and Saturday nights, doesn't accept cheques.
