Milano Italian Restaurant, Lansvale Hotel

The last place where you think you would find a decent Italian restaurant is along the Hume Highway in Lansvale (no offence to any Lansvalian’s who read this).

Putting that side, I was surprised at how good the food looked. The taste however ….. please read on.

Roasted rack of lamb with potato cake (thing)

The lamb was tender but lacked a certain something. Oh that’s right, flavour. The sauce was misleading unfortunately, it was more like oil drizzled over my lamb. The salsa and potato was a nice change though, I have not had something like the potato before. Apologies for the poor description effort with the potato thing.

Fresh fillet of Coral Trout with mixed sauted mushrooms and braised spring onion ($26)

We don’t eat coral trout often so we jumped at the opportunity for this dish. The trout was slightly overcooked but the flesh was very fresh and the skin was quite crispy. The mushrooms and spring onions added some character to the dish.

Finest Australian Wagyu Beef , marble score 9+ -12+ 700 day grain fed with poached brocolini and fresh lime ($49)

The actual beef tasted awesome. The texture and tenderness was what you would expect from a $49 piece of wagyu beef. I might be showing my ignorance and beginners knowledge here, but the actual dish was quite tasteless. Maybe this is how you are suppose to eat it though? I welcome any comments so please feel free to post one below.

Great atmosphere , great looking food, great service. But to me what lacked was the true signature flavour of each dish. Maybe I need to come again, they might have had an ‘off’ night.

We started eatshowandtell in 2008, it was meant to be just a journal of where we ate. The first thing I usually do when I'm looking for a restaurant is check out eatability and the restaurant website. But what is usually missing is pictures of the food, how do I know I'm getting what I expect? This blog hopefully plugs that gap.
