This place is more than just a restaurant; it's a gastronomic love story, simmered to perfection. Birthed from the sweet serendipity of a wedding cake, which ignited the flames of romance between our Italian maestro chef, Roberto, and his New Zealand belle, Anna, this culinary haven is a testament to passion plated up.
The language here speaks volumes, not just through words but through flavors, making it a haven for travelers. English or Italian, the communication is fluent in the universal language of delectable cuisine. And let's not overlook their freshly baked bread, an embrace of warm, crusty delight dipped in the freshest extra virgin olive oil, pressed from olives harvested this very year, right here in this land of culinary dreams.
Take, for instance, the "GUANCIA DI MANZO". This isn't merely beef cheek; it's a culinary magnum opus. Picture a beef cheek, tenderly slow-cooked in a peppery wine sauce, each bite a symphony of flavors that waltzes across your taste buds. Accompanied by the silkiest saffron mashed potatoes, smoother than a serene gondola journey through Venetian canals, and green beans that add the perfect textural counterpoint with their crispness.
Then there's the "CONIGLIO", a masterpiece on a plate. This dish redefines rabbit, transforming it into a gourmet experience. Enveloped with artichokes, nestled on a luscious bed of bell pepper cream, and crowned with golden fried onions - each forkful is a harmonious blend of succulent rabbit and zesty artichokes. It's a dish that doesnât just tantalize your taste buds; it sings operatic arias of flavor, a culinary concert...
