I pride myself on having been to most Hamilton restuarants, and being able to give a run down on what's hot, and what's not. Having said that, there are always a few places I haven't been before. Tonight's example, the Cyprus Tree in Hamilton East.
The last time I was here was when this building housed Zigilini's, which I remember well as I used to go there as a student as the laundromat was next door.

The Cyprus Tree offers quite authentic Italian food, with great diversity in the menu items available. My choices, a garlic bread with pear and blue cheese (really good, but way too big), and, Bistecca - Scotch Fillet on a bed of mushroom and blue cheese risotto, rocket, and topped with caramelised onions.

The risotto was to kill for (I'm pretty sure there was truffle oil in there), and the steak prepared exactly as I'd hoped for. 9/10 for that meal - I'll happily return many times to this restuarant.
