Casamia Restaurant

Plenty of parents indulge their children when it comes to letting them loose in the kitchen, but former trattoria owners Paco and Susan Sanchez-Iglesias took this to a whole new level when they let their twenty-something sons go for broke in Westbury Village high street. The self-taught Jonray and Peter have repaid their confidence a hundred fold, even winning Gordon Ramsay's Best Restaurant award in 2010. The cosy restaurant, behind an unassuming frontage has whitewashed walls hung with Italian scenes, but the cooking is anything but ordinary. Embracing all that modern technology can offer, this is modern, complex, intricate, explosive stuff. There's plenty of opportunity to try their creative and exciting cooking in tasting menus of up to nine courses, talked up by mum and dad who proudly do front of house. There is evidence of their Italian roots running through the menus, a passion for the ingredients, too, but this is the sort of contemporary cooking that defies easy classification. A spring menu might take you from wild boar salami with sheep's curd, carrot and pesto, to Iberico pork with mushrooms, apple sauce and celery root, or wild sea bass with cauliflower and tarragon. For dessert traditional tiramisù is their own spin of course, while pine nut pannacotta and Amalfi lemon sorbet sings out with Mediterranean flavours.
