We were welcomed by four autumn canepes to start the meal. I love the parmesan pumpkin cream a lot. It was like an ultra thick and creamy pumpkin soup🎃 The extra spice on top added much seasonality and warm to the evening. The anchovy tartlet and one burrata burger were your best party snack. It was ended with a glass of hot clarified minestrone which was so good that we needed a refill!

The bread basket alone was already impressive. Adding the 4 different olive oil? It’s completely another level. The breads were olive facaccia, rye sourdough, taralli and fennel pollen cracker. Sourdough is of course my favourite but the taralli is very interesting too. The texture was crunchy and fluffy but it was achieved by lard! What an interesting experience! One more round for both please😝

The extra virgin olive oil are from four different regions, light to strong. It was like an olive oil tasting and this experience allowed me to have more in-depth understanding of the flavour complexity olive oil can be. Personally love the lighter side for its more vibrant fresh grassy notes🌿

Or should this dish be called caviar instead🤔 I mean look at that lavish bed of Kristal caviar🤩 Underneath was coral panna cotta with chops of red prawn. It was an absolute delight that set the tone of the night. The oceanic salinity from the caviar was tamed by the panna cotta while the red prawn added final sweetness to finish. A truly delicate dish!

This combo was very Napoleon. I could not picture turnip with langoustine before but it was quite good surprisingly. The nutty almond and tangy caper compliment the savoury prawn. The final touch of turnip’s lightness and bitterness was brilliant👏🏼 The langoustine was perfectly executed in semi-cooked texture. And their plates really worth a mention. All are hand made with slight differences that add warm human element.

A perfectly seamed fish with crispy skin and flaky meat. The sauce was the actual highlight. It’s like romesco but with rockfish essence. Rockfish is a kind of sweet and umami packed fish. It added more layers to the fish🤤 The romanesco broccoli two ways were very nice sides too!

The innovative signature here. They just changed to this seasonal green button🟢not very long ago when I visited. So I was very surprised to see a green one instead of orange. The bursting texture was the most exciting part here. The turnip filling bursted on the thinner and softer bottom side while the top side stayed chewy and al dente. Just amazing🤩 In terms of flavour, it was full of friarielli flavour with subtle umami from the mussel. A simple but delicious homey pasta.

This one was a nice concept but it was executed badly😟The gnocchi had a nice chewy taste, like those in bubble tea while the honey peas were perfect. But the ink sauce was somehow underwhelming and too oily. More salinity would definitely bring out more flavours to the dish.

I guess I just had my favourite pasta in life😍 Ragu has always been my favourite sauce for pasta. The deliciousness was just beyond word could describe. The onion chop was full of beef and tomato flavour but its unique sweetness still shined along all the strong flavours. Just a bomb🤯 The mafalde supplied by @pastagentile was in a perfect al dente status that I could not resist. It was just flawless. The pasta ended with an incredibly delicious bite of the short rib with its concentrated jus. I just need one more sourdough for scarpata😆

This pigeon was the most tender one I have ever eaten🤯 Its like a slightly chewy tuna. Look at the photo and you will know what I mean. The hazelnut was aromatic and I love its nutty flavour added to the little gamey pigeon. But the cabbage was a bit overcooked for my liking.

A very refreshing dessert with nice balance especially after so many pastas. The citrus mandarin went smoothly with the ricotta on top. The dessert disappeared all in a sudden since I could not help but scoop after scoop😋

The unlimited pistachio gelato totally stole the show😍 It was in dark green indicating its roasting flavour. It was definitely the most aromatic and richest version I have ever tried. The unlimited refill was just irresistible. It included trio of sweet bite and the Panna cotta was a delicacy that could be a dessert alone! The cannoli and were decent too! Just as the name suggested, a happy sweet ending☺️
