I took a stroll after lunch today as an act of settling the food and ended up wandering the streets of Cambridge with a friend, badly dodging the rain showers and taking shelter in a couple of pubs, by which time it is dinner time and as we are walking past Jamie's Italian, Cambridge we have an impulse dinner.
Jamie's is on the site of the former Corn Exchange box office (now situated on the opposite side of the street) and having been several times into the former box office, I'd always though that it was a bit small for a restaurant. I was right, that area is a bit small. Which is why it is only the bar. The main body of the restaurant is behind the bar in a large square room with pillars and a high ceiling with a dome in it's centre. As an eating venue it's quite impressive with a good buzzy atmosphere.
As it's an impulse dinner, I head straight to the menu and have pasta, in particular Wild Rabbit Tagliolini and my friend has Ravioli, a Wild Mushroom Panzerotti. Both are good and since this is just a flying visit I look forward to coming back for a more considered sampling of the menu.
