MD's Italian Kitchen and Bar, Fortitude Valley
Has anyone heard of the EatClub app? If not, I recommend downloading this app in your phone ASAP as this is where you can get some last minute discounts/deals from various restaurants! As I was lazy to prepare dinner one night, I stumbled upon a 40% discount for MD's Italian Kitchen and Bar.
Together with Mr, we made our way to the Valley/New Farm trying to locate this restaurant. As always parking in New Farm can be challenging and after a few rounds, we managed to find one. As we walked into the restaurant, it felt rather empty for such a big restaurant. There were about 4-5 other patrons that night.
Service was prompt and attentive that night. As we were pretty hungry, I was keen to eat. To start with, we had the garlic ciabatta ($12) with balsamic. They were toasted nicely but I thought the garlic flavour could be stronger.
Our next entree was the arancini balls ($18). The crumbed surface was crispy and the flavour combination of pork and cheese was quite good. It came together with a side of aioli or mayo on the side.
Now for our mains, I wanted to try both the pasta and pizza. We had the 'Fettuccine Al Granchino' ($30) which has the Australian crab meat, cherry tomatoes cooked in garlic and chilli sauce. The pasta was not what I had expected, the sauce rather watery and the crab meat does not taste like it was freshly picked out. We were quite disappointed.
As for the pizza, we ordered the 'Make your own pizza' with the toppings of spinach, sausage meat and pumpkin. It was quite a good pizza except for the pumpkin pieces. It had an odd taste to it (maybe marinated in something?) and it was still rather hard.
Overall, it was an average dining experience for both of us, mostly due to the mains and we probably have ordered the wrong choices. Well, the good service certainly made up for it.
