The Best Italian Food In Liverpool; Il Forno

I apologise now if this blog post makes you hungry, and I'd understand! I myself am staring at these photos with longing, wondering when to next make another trip to Il Forno, in the heart of Liverpool. You see I recently had my very first visit there, along with Gary, and it basically rocked our socks. Yep.

Il Forno can be found on Duke street in Liverpool, and I was recently invited to come down and try their lunch menu to see what I thought. Italian is my absolute favourite type of food, so I was more than happy to give it a try. So off along I popped, with Gary in tow, to pay them a visit.

Recently I was invited to enjoy a Royal Afternoon Tea at the wonderful Browns Bar and Brassiere in the heart of Liverpool, and I popped along with my Mum to see what they had in store for us. The Royal Afternoon Tea was part of a month long celebration for the Queen's birthday, and even though I hate the Monarchy; I'm not averse to a good celebration or afternoon tea.

We were greeted by lovely staff, and offered a British Royal Cocktail upon arrival; however being on good behaviour with my Mum and all that, I thought it best to stick to tea.

Five reasons Revolucion De Cuba Liverpool is amazing;

1. Alcohol is taken seriously. Especially Rum. Rum rhymes with YUM. No coincidence.
2. The layout is GORGEOUS.
3. The food... oh my god the food. It's amazing, and I'm a fussy eater.
4. The staff are absolutely hilarious/super friendly/awesome.
5. It's located in the heart of Liverpool, with an amazing view of the docks.

Hi guys! Hope you're all having a good week. Today I've sort of just ran right into this post, because I'm so excited to share it with you. Seriously, I'm here to tell you about my new favourite spot in Liverpool.

Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited along to Revolucion De Cuba at Liverpool Albert Docks along with a few other awesome local bloggers, and it was perfect. We had the best night together, and I cannot thank the guys at Rev De Cuba enough.

Recently I had the pleasure of being invited along to try the new brunch menu for Revolution at Liverpool Albert Docks, and I was excited to give it a try. This particular Revolution is in the heart of the Albert Docks which is a picturesque location (only a fifteen minute walk away from where we live!) and surrounded by a variety of other bars/restaurants, galleries, museums and tourist spots.

It's probably well known by now that I am no expert in the kitchen (which I am totally okay with). However this week I've managed to whip up something that even Gary was impressed with. What fine dining experience did I manage to conquer you ask? Well okay, just a milkshake. But that's a big deal for me guys! Haha.
Take a few scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream, add some milk, mash up some bars of Milkyway and add a little chocolate sauce on top, add it all into a blender for 60 seconds - and hey presto! We have a beautiful, yummy, tempting treat for the Summer.
