What can I say, I came to Borgo with great expectations. It had been very well reviewed, not just by food writers but foodies too. Unfortunately, the meal I had was disappointing. Sure the antipasti was alright – but you can’t quite go really wrong with this if you use only the freshest of olives, cheeses and meats. For the mains, the sausages had little taste and a powdery texture which made me wonder if they were fit for eating, while the pasta was overcooked and covered in this nondescript wild boar sauce that tasted like a dryer version of the bolognaise. I was subsequently told that they actually specialize in pizzas. Even so, I am not sure if that is enough to bring me back.
