Savor Freshly Baked Pasta and Authentic Recipes
At the heart of our terrace dining experience lies a dedication to authenticity and quality, particularly evident in our selection of freshly baked pasta dishes. Our menu boasts a variety of pasta options that are meticulously prepared following traditional Italian recipes handed down from renowned Italian suppliers. Each dish embodies the essence of Italy by emphasizing the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The preparation process begins with sourcing the finest durum wheat semolina, which forms the foundation of our pasta. This key ingredient ensures a perfect texture and bite, quintessential for classic Italian pasta. The dough is then carefully rolled and shaped, creating a variety of pasta forms, each suited to different sauces and preparations, from the delicate ribbons of tagliatelle to the robust shells of conchiglioni.
One of our signature dishes is the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, featuring broad ribbons of pasta enveloped in a rich meat sauce simmered for hours with vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a touch of Italian red wine. Another favorite is our Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni, oven-baked to perfection with a hearty filling of sautéed spinach and creamy ricotta cheese, then topped with a silky béchamel and a generous sprinkle of parmesan. The Pesto Genovese, with its fragrant blend of fresh basil, pine nuts, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, offers a lighter yet equally satisfying option.
These dishes are served in an inviting environment that reflects the warmth and vibrancy of Italian hospitality. Guests can enjoy their meals on our terrace, surrounded by an ambiance that echoes the charm of a rustic Italian trattoria. The combination of freshly baked pasta, authentic recipes, and a convivial atmosphere ensures a memorable dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of Italy.
