About this menu
La Mensa is a restaurant on Town Foot in Morpeth, and most of its dishes are named in Italian. The menu opens up with starters, including Antipasto Caldo, where gamberoni alla diavola appears. Mains cover plates such as seabass, and further sections gather Pasta Al Forno, Risotto and Pollo dishes. Contorno rounds out the savoury choices, and the Dessert Menu brings the meal to a close.
Anyone planning a full meal can move from a starter into a main, then finish with tiramisu or profiteroles from the Dessert Menu. A smaller order is easy to put together from the starters and Antipasto Caldo alone. Rice dishes sit under Risotto, with names like alla pescatora, while Pollo has its own run of dishes, pollo diane among them. Pasta Al Forno and Contorno are worth a look when you are rounding out a main course.
