Piccolino, Classy Italian Chain, Nottingham

January is great. It's the time of year when all the local restaurants have a deal on and it's fairly quiet in town (at least until the end of the month when the students finish their exams!). Making the most of January's deals and with a £10 voucher for the restaurant firmly in hand we found ourselves at Piccolino.

The restaurant itself is nicely lit with many twinkling lights and has a modern, yet comfortable feel by virtue of the wooden seats and floors. The part of the restaurant that we were in is divided into smaller sections so felt quite personal, despite it being quite a big restaurant. Our waiter was very friendly and willing to talk about the dishes when I couldn't make up my mind.

I had a nicely done, and extremely creamy, spaghetti carbonara. It was very filling and didn't leave me any room for dessert! The pasta was served with just enough pepperings of pancetta to spice it up and make it a lovely dish.
