This is what Sandra Carter from the Bucks Free Press thought about Darusso... "...a restaurant that is a one-off take on Italian cuisine. It's a far cry from the pasta houses that abound. It's also in a world of its own even among up-market authentic Italian eateries. The menu gave plenty of fodder for browsing. There's squid with chilli, raw beef carpaccio with Parmesan, king prawns and polenta and buffalo mozzarella...and that's just for starters. Then plunge into pasta if you want a true Italian experience before delving into sea bass with citrus fruits, or chicken with tiger prawns, or five styles of steak led by fillet topped with foie gras mousse, marsala and brandy sauce... Good food served simply is great, especially when it's in such attractive and comfortable surroundings as this. Pasquale, is trying to wean local diners towards more authentically Italian eating habits. We must leave behind our insistence on meat and three veg, he reckons. Instead, he'd like us to try pasta followed by seared tuna on a bed of peppery rocket and potato salad, topped with caramelised peaches, and not a carrot in sight. Meanwhile he's full of energy and ideas..." Other compliments include... "...thank you most profusely for the wonderful food and service we received at our Christmas Party. Everyone commented on the quality of the food and the complete ambience of your lovely restaurant...I am sure you will be recommended by not only myself but many of the staff who came." and...
"Just wanted to say a really big Thank you for Christmas day. The lunch was delicious and the service, as always, very good."
