Time for our Italian fix.
As always we begin with an assortment of assaggini
Fritelle de baccala con insalata di puntarelle di campo - salt cod and potato fritters with a salad of field chicory
Assaggini of the day - pork tongue with mustard fruit, Prosciutto San Daniele with parmigiano and kingfish sashimi
Pesciolini fritti in carpione - Fried Whitebait in Scarpece
Onto mains:
Paalo ordered the Venison loin with braised vegetables and local Apollo Bay Truffles. These are some of the best local truffles we've enjoyed - highly aromatic with a good depth of flavour
I go the simple route and enjoy a traditional Veal Costoletta - crumbed veal rib eye
There's also time to enjoy some cheese - gorgonzola and tallegio
and to follow dessert:
I have the Diplomatica con cremosa al cioccolato - chocolate and nut cake served with soft dark chocolate cream. The cake was dense and soft and quite rich.
Paalo has a much lighter option - Tortino di cioccolato al caffee colante - a soft-centered coffee and dark chocolate pudding.
