Jamie Oliver's 'bish, bash, bosh', 'easy peasy', 'lovely jubbly' style of cooking lends itself well to the simplicity of Italian cuisine as Jamie's Italian in Kingston, opened in November 2008, attests. Love or hate the cheeky chef who made riding a Vespa part of his jaunty image, you can't deny his enthusiasm - he promotes cooking with a passion which the Italians would recognise as their own. With his 'Italian' restaurants (there are others in Oxford, Bath and Brighton), Jamie brings rustic, simple dishes like Prosciutto, wild rocket and sliced crisp pear as well as delicious plates of homemade pasta (available as large or small portions) to the table. For the full, authentic Italian experience, start with bruschetta on sourdough bread, rubbed with garlic and topped with rocket and parmesan pesto, then antipasti of cured meats, followed by pasta. Who knows how anyone can manage to fit in mains and desserts after all that but, if you can, try the Italian Bakewell tart and Italian ice cream for a unique mix of English and Italian traditions.
