I have one word for this place. Perfect. The location was quaint, the food was otherworldly and the staff were the most friendliest yet. I had the seafood marinara fettuccine and my wife had the squid ink seafood pasta. My wife is usually a Tabasco person and without fail, she'll grab a bottle. This is the first time she forgot about it. That was how damn tasty it was. The pasta was fresh, the seafood was beautifully cooked and so crunchy. The sauce coated every bite of pasta perfectly. But the kicker for me was the chopped fresh parsley that brought an extra layer of freshness with each bite. 10/10 loved it. P.s they give you complimentary bread with really good quality olive oil too!
Il Cantuccio seemed to be one of the crowd’s favourite Italian restaurant on Lygon St, and we got to see some of the reasons why. They do their carbonara in authentic way, with eggs and no cream. The dish was still wonderfully creamy from egg yolk and also the flavour from bacon (pancetta? was brought out well. The serving size was quite large you get a mountain of pasta on your dish and it’s great. Overall it resembled home cooking from Italian family that you have visited hearty, simple, and unpretentious.
I have been here last summer with my partner and her parents. Lovely location , outdoor well covered , inside fancy and warm feeling with the fireplace. We got pasta , gnocchis are amazing specially with truffle. Fresh wine , nice customer service and average price. IThe picture down here show the seafood pasta , tasty and light that permit to you to do all the walking of the rest of your day :
Absolutely delicious Italian food! The restaurant is rustic with a very homey feel to it. The staff were delightful! I loved the gorgonzola gnocchi! Squid ink spaghetti is incredible. Really fair prices. Plus they have you a massive bowl of parmesan for the table which for me is a huge plus. I want ALL the cheese. Thanks il cantuccio! Your restaurant is lovely.
