On entering we're offered the choice of Bellini or Birra Ichnusa Speciale (from Sardinia). For canapes, two dishes are served - oysters topped with Lemoncello granita and Grilled swordfish with bottarga mayonnaise.
It's then onto the First Course:
To drink: Ciro Bianco DOC 2008 Res Dei Ippolito 1845, Calabria
This lived up to its pyramid name - a mountain of assorted seafood with potato, beans and pesto.
To drink: Soave Classico DOC 2006, Terre di Monteforte, Veneto
A difficult dish to photography but very tasty - the cuttlefish pieces were very tender.
To drink: Nero D'Avola IGT 2007, Corvo, Sicilia
The room was perfumed by the aroma of those sweet roasted peppers of the pepperonata.
Fourth Course:
Hidden behind the semifreddo triangles were still warm crostoli - heaven in a biscuit!
