The Italian job

This afternoon I walked past the site of Jamie Oliver's much-publicised first, 'neighbourhood' restaurant, Jamie's Italian. Due to open at Milsom Place in Bath this summer, its menu will include affordable pasta, home-baked breads, antipasti, salads and Italian puds. Cambridge and Brighton are next in line to get a Jamie's Italian, and within a few years the cheeky chappie intends to open up to 40 restaurants across the country.

I must admit, I'm looking forward to a glass of wine and a bowl of pasta on the roof-top terrace in the summer...
