A Taste of Italy

Close your eyes and taste the fresh, handmade pasta from Emilia Romagna. Feel the Napoli wood fired pizza melt-in-your-mouth and devour fresh seafood from Apulia as the scent of lemon fills the air.

Take pleasure in this Italian love-affair with Chef Paolo Camisotti every Thursday, as he guides you on a multi-sensory journey. Collect your passport, sit back and enjoy the ride around twelve regions of Paolo’s homeland. A new region each month — collecting stamps along the way.

For epic travelers who get all twelve stamps, a heavenly feast awaits at the end of your journey.

First Stop, October – Piedmont.
We begin our gastronomic feast in the North of Italy at Piedmont, meaning ‘at the foot of the mountains’ in Latin. Picture a landscape that lives up to its moniker — snow-capped peaks and sweeping valleys dotted with quaint villages and castles.

A slow food and fine wine mecca, Piedmontese cattle are celebrated for their lean tender meat and although it’s not a coastal region, locals also love to add anchovies to a myriad of dishes for their salty, briny flavour.

Our pasta special is Ravioli Del Plin, meaning ‘pinch’ in Piedmontese, which is exactly how you make these little parcels by hand.
