Bringing the classic Italian food to the fore, Executive Sous Chef Salvatore Catania's new signature menus ensure only the freshest produce is used to create mouthwatering dishes with a touch of artistic flair. Highlights include delicious Octopus salad and Salmon tartar, a tantalizing 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. For mains, not to be missed are Tagliatelle al tartufo, Chef Salvatore's homemade pasta prepared in "parmigiana reggiano wheel" (parmesan cheese wheel) and melt-in-the-mouth Slow braised pork cheeks in Barolo, 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.
La Tavola & Wine Bar is open daily from 11:30am-2:30pm and 6:00pm-10:30pm. For more information or reservations, please contact 02 125 5020.
