The very best of Italian
La Tavola & Wine Bar adds colour to the festive season with a new selection of Italian delicacies paired with terrific wines.
Executive sous chef Salvatore Catania, formerly of the Kempinski Hotel Ajman, United Arab Emirates, brings artistic flair to his signature menus with such appetisers as Octopus salad and Salmon tartar, a tantalising fusion between raw salmon, pomelo and orange sauce.
The pizzas – thin, crispy, baked in a stone oven – and served piping hot are something to look forward to, especially popular selections such as Pizza arotolata, featuring anchovies, parmesan cheese and rocket leaves, and cheesy Burrata margarita.
Main dishes include Tagliatelle al tartufo, Catania’s s homemade pasta prepared in a parmesan wheel and melt-in-the-mouth slow braised pork cheeks in Barolo with pumpkin gnocchi.
To cap off the meal, Affogato moderno (espresso shot with Nutella rice bun and amaretto gelato), Bignole alla nocciola (beignets with hazelnut), and Torta della noona (pear tart) are highly recommended.
