With every good idea that lands in the Al Dente kitchen comes an adaptation too good to refuse. Mondeghili are Milanese meatballs, or, polpette, with traditions dating back to the Spanish domination of Milan (from 1535 to 1706), making use of leftover ingredients like bread and meat, and frying them to create something new. As you know by now, here at Al Dente we love cucina povera cooking; our delicious crostini are made using our old sourdough, much like pearà. Our take on mondeghili include wagyu fat offcuts, potato and mushroom. They're a delicious snack to enjoy whilst entertaining (for aperitivo, of course!) and equally as delicious enjoyed whilst snuggled up on the couch under a warm blanket whilst watching your favourite show (we're almost finished watching the latest season of 'The Rookie' - please send through recommendations on shows we can watch next!)

We've finally caved and decided to make a tiramisu. There have been more requests for us to make this over the last four years of business (isn't that something spectacular in itself?!) than anything else... So, here it is. We've not strayed too far from tradition with our Tiramisu, and the reasoning behind that is the same we'd apply if we had a Ferrari... Perfection doesn't need a makeover!
From $28.00
Made with three different types of mushrooms, this vegetarian ragu is full-flavoured with the sweet richness of ripe tomatoes and a hint of chilli. It goes beautifully with any type of pasta, but we love it with our pillowy potato gnocchi!
From $34.00
Cacio e Pepe will remain a staple in our home, and in yours. A simple pecorino and pepper fonduta is folded into golden semolina pasta to create a signature dish that we're sure you're going to love. NOTE: Our Tortellini Cacio e Pepe doesn't come with a sauce included, but we recommend you purchase our Burnt Butter & Sage as an accompaniment!
From $30.00
When we make our slow-cooked ragu, the whole kitchen is infused with warm, comforting aromas. We are so excited for you to have the same experience. We use lamb shoulder because it falls apart after slow cooking, plus a little tomato, red wine and herbs.
From $20.00
Simple is best when it comes to Italian food and it doesn’t come simpler or better than our rich napoli, with the natural sweetness of tomatoes, onions and a touch of garlic and basil. It’s great with any of our pastas.
From $30.00
This is a traditional bolognese made with beef for body and flavour and pork for sweet softness. It's slow-cooked to meld the flavours properly just like nonna would do.
Small $14.003-4 Serves
Italians know that simple often means best - this burnt butter and sage sauce is the perfect herby, toasty dressing for filled pasta. You can also let it melt over grilled meats or potatoes for a luxe finish.
Small $13.00100 Mls
Our Chilli oil is simple and very effective. Great to add an extra kick to any tomato based pasta sauce, or to drizzle a little over a good woodfired pizza. We've been loving it on our bacon & eggs in the morning, too!
Small $6.0050 Grams
These anchovies are incomparably good. Currently Andrea & Michelle's favourite midnight snack on a good piece of toast with a lot of butter. Or better yet, straight from the tin.
Small $13.00112 Grams
Mussels from the Galician coast prepared in one of the most genuine sauce in Spain: Escabeche, which is made with paprika, vinegar, oil, garlic and bay leaves. A delicious savoury treat to have in the kitchen pantry.
Small $11.00115 Grams
Up to 12 sardines per tin in olive oil. Small and full of taste. This is a blue fish with high quantity of Omega 3 acids, very good for you! Delicious on crackers or bread, toss a few in a salad or in a pasta dish. And of course, straight out of the can as part of antipasti or a very good midnight snack!
