Buon Ricordo has outdone itself! For years I've called their truffled egg fettuccine the best plate of pasta anywhere. Turns out the only restaurant able to beat it was Buon Ricordo itself. Chef-owner David Wright's new oyster and Beluga caviar spaghetti sounded odd (oysters in pasta?), but one forkful settles it. And here's the surprise: there are no oysters lurking in the bowl. Somehow David has captured their essence and folded it into the sauce itself — a rush of ocean, deep savoury richness, a lift of lemon, olive oil and parsley, and perfectly al dente spaghetti. It's then crowned with a generous spoonful of Beluga — not a token sprinkle — enough to matter in every mouthful. A must-order. I hope it stays on the menu. Now every visit now brings the delicious agony of choosing between two sensational pasta dishes.

Home of the great Fettuccine Mandela effect. The egg is in fact cooked before it goes into your pasta! 🍝🍳
