Pizzeria Il Fiume - Dumfries

After much searching for Dumfries where to dine, trying to avoid a pub to avoid repeating the previous dinner, at the tourist information offices we were recommended an Italian restaurant, among the three there for the food and for their service. It is also located in a park by the river, with swings and other things to entertain the smallest. When we arrived at this restaurant, the number of people who came in was brought to our attention, and it is best to book in the morning to avoid surprises. Luckily we could enter and service is a wonder, especially with children. A very large menu, with wood oven and with Italian cooks the thing promised. But we're not in Italy, and we got a lot of rations from chips coming out. The commissioner, Hungarian by the way, told us that the favorite dish was fries, cooked artisanally, with virgin olive oil, etc ... etc. etc. So they went with everything, pizza with chips, lasagna with fries, fortunately desserts did not. A very cozy place and the really good, Italian food of good quality, with good Italian wines but all this, always in the shadow of the universal fried potato, that is not that we do not like but all at the time and in place. Il Fiume, recommended but for things like your pizza to the three cheeses or steaks to the milanesa, that's why we're supposed to go to an Italian, I think.
