- The food has an authentic, home-cooked feel to it. The portions are generous and everyone raved about how good the meals were. The complimentary arancini balls is a lovely touch...rare these days to get something for nothing (even bread or water!).

- Very impressed. There were complimentary deep fried rice balls (which I can never remember the name of) and then we had the mixed bread plate which was served with some very nice dips. I had the Steak Lugano (fillet with a creamy mushroom & white wine sauce with prawns) and my partner had Penne Arrabiata (Hot Italian sausage, fresh tomato, olives, garlic & basil). We both found the meals to be really very nice.

- We had a lovely night. Considering I booked the table at 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon and they still found room for us I was very impressed. I was a bit surprised when he said they book in 2hour lots but found we needed it as it was a very laid back dinner. We will go back for sure!!

Tried la vela again for a last minute meal out. The restaurant is fairly quiet on Sundays. Service was a bit hit and miss to start as a new waitress was serving. Also, the gaudy tablecloths have gone and they seem to be slowly renovating the restaurant (new tablecloths, coat of paint etc)
But I must say the meal was fabulous! We had the garlic bread which was really buttery/garlicky mmm ($5.50). I then chose one of the specials which was roast duck which came with a risotto cake, asparagus and baked plums ($29). This meal was delicious.
My partner chose a chicken dish (Pollo Ala Vela - $24) which was served on a sizzling hot plate containing two large pieces of chicken that had been marinated in vinegar wine, garlic and herbs. The combination was unusual (and quite vinegary) but definitely worked! This dish was accompanied by of plate of vegetables (eggplant, potato, beans and carrots).
We shall return here soon!
