So, to the food.

The focaccia comes highly rated. Crispy bottom with cherry tomatoes, parmesan and basil – it’s so good some people have it as an entrée!

Next chef served up the scallop wrapped in prosciutto with saffron sauce topped with octopus tail.

A very festive dish perfect for this fish obsessed town. The sauce was perfect complimenting the fish and not over powering it.

The final appetiser was famous pecorino cheese soufflé – cooked for 9 minutes…with porcini mushroom. A delight…

The most enjoyable, delicious and entertaining dish for me was the fabulous Salmon tartare.

This is pure theatre and I loved it for it’s talkability and flavour!

This creative salmon dish was served on a bed of fresh kiwi fruit with fennel and cherry smoke filling the dish.

Chef explains…

For the entree tonight, Chef offered a dish from his home town.

This was Fregola with seafood – shrimp, lobster, clam, lobster & muscles.

Fregula / fregola a type of tiny, firm, round pasta from Sardinia similar to couscous.

This dish was the perfect main course at this delicious dinner…
