For late afternoon drinks we visit Casa Dellatorre - it is a b&b/small hotel and downstairs you'll find its rather cute cafe/wine bar.
As is the norm, our wine is accompanied with some nibbles
yes, the corn chips and salsa seems a bit out of place but it's made in house and is quite tasty. There's a couple of different types of freshly sliced salami, warm wedges of focaccia and frittata and a glass stuffed with thick grissini. We still kind of look at each other with amazement in that all this food is complimentary. It's a little more expensive than VinCafe but it's still less than what you'd pay for one glass of average wine back in Melbourne.
On the cooking front, I've used these lovely little Borettane Onions
and Lonza di Maiale
to make this tart
It's makes for a very tasty lunch.
For dinner, it's something light but decadent - carna cruda all'albese
I'v used these thin slices of veal breast - hand chopped and seasoned with salt, pepper and mustard and olive oil to bind.
What sets this dish apart is the liberal addition of white truffle - add some fresh bread from La Forneria and we've in heaven.
