Punchinello's Restaurant located in Southern Sun Hotel, Monte Casino Resort

We stayed at the Southern Sun Hotel in Monte Casino Resort and Punchinello's was our breakfast venue each morning.  I heard that they have a Sunday Roast, Mediterranean style and had to try it.
On arrival you are given a glass of sparkling wine.
The venue is unusual and it doesn't really give you the idea that it is a Mediterranean concept when you explore the décor.
The Sunday roast consists of chicken and lamb, there is pizza, an array of cold starters and the desserts have a very nice selection too, in fact I would call the dessert variety a "classy" one because usually hotel desserts are generic and most of the time they taste like air with no flavour but this restaurant had fantastic desserts that were created professionally.  Carrot cake was actually made with cream cheese and the crème brulee was also very nice.  I enjoyed the desserts.
In the starter section I had an Asparagus awakening because I usually am not a fan but these were fresh cut and soft but not soggy.
There was a Bagna Cauda which is an Anchovy and garlic dip that complimented the Asparagus spears and it almost tasted like one we would have in an Italian home!
Artichoke salad was fantastic and the calamari starter was so lightly battered that it was enjoyable.
Roast Lamb and Chicken were nice but being European I thoroughly enjoyed the starters and the desserts more than the hot options and if you are expecting something fantastic here on a Sunday, it is nice, they have live entertainment and the starters and desserts were better than the mains to me.
