Filled Vegetarian Pasta
Wine
Cascina Ghercina Barolo 2015 nose hints of flowers, licorice, herbs and oak. On the palate medium to full-bodied with tight tannins and medium acidity. Showing blackberries, prunes and tobacco. Nice long aftertaste. 100% Nebbiolo, so you're in for a treat!
A light to medium bodied Italian Valpolicella, with a stonefruit-like aroma (think plum), a little earthy, and quite a balanced finish. An approachable red all round.
Bine Longhe is a wine of luminous autumn straw colour, rich and brilliant due to the late October harvest, picked after the grapes have been over ripened for 20 days. Bine Longhe has a characteristically strong honeyed herbaceous aroma. Dancing minerals play tag on your tongue, embracing and lively on the palate, with a slight aftertaste of bitter almonds. Soave is inherently a delicate wine, Tessari Bine Longhe Soave's wonderful acidity makes it perfect to pair with many different varieties of food, like Al Dente pasta!
A delicious drop from our friends at Petronio wines in the Yarra Valley. High quality stone fruit like nectarine make way for slightly nutty tones, and a long, strong minerality and light oaky finish. A really special wine, and a great price for a high quality local drop!
House made Limoncello. The perfect after dinner drink!

This striking yellow soda brings us back to our childhood - the unmistakeable bottle is one we grew up drinking from. Cedrata Tassoni Soda was launched in 1956 as an “evolution” of the traditional Cedrata Tassoni Syrup: it is a refreshing soft drink, thirst-quenching and perfect to drink chilled, or as a mixer for a delicious cocktail. Cedrata Tassoni is sweet but with a hint of sourness to it, bearing the aromas of the citron fruit, from the essential oils extracted for this signature Italian beverage.
From floral, clove-spiked, amaro-drenched, cherry cola-scented perfume, through to shapely, inwardly concentrated yet just on medium weight flavours. The wine has energy, exceptional length, a feel of finesse, succulence and immense persistence. It’s a Tempranillo that values that sense of ‘pinosity’ but doesn’t forget to come bearing a shawl of finely threaded, firm tannins. Utterly charming, this is a hit from the get go.
A complex and rich local Chardonnay from Beechworth, Victoria, by sommelier turned winemaker (and our friend) Rocco Esposito. An explosion of flavour from biodynamic methods, and a perfect pairing to anything packed with umami, like our Mushroom Ragu or Tortellini Funghi!
Sauce & Ragu'
Slow-cooked vegetables in a white wine stock are combined with roasted nuggets of pork sausage to create a delicious and comforting ragu. We love this with our gnocchi and tagliatelle but it's a great accompaniment to any pasta. You could also partner it with polenta, rice or mashed potatoes.
'Tis the season for MUSHROOMS! We've taken the hard work out of dinner once again, with our textural flavoursome Portobello Mushroom Sauce. Perfect as a base for your Risotto, tossed through some Tagliatelle or layered within some lasagne sheets and besciamella. Note: we cook this down with some meat & chicken bones, so it's not vegetarian friendly.
Coffee, Nuts, Dry Fruit + Others
Iran accounts for around 90% of the world's saffron production. The finest Saffron is hand-picked, upholding traditional growing methods in Iranian field. The red stigmas are from crocus flowers. The threads are all hand-cut and separated, prior to drying for maximum flavour, aroma, and coloring in cooking and baking. Saffron gives that distinctive bright yellow/orange colour and pungency to authentic risotto milanese, bouillabaisse, paella, and biryanis. Saffron aroma is fresh, fragrant and strong.
BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF MODENA DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is the highest expression of balsamic vinegars, from the attics of the houses of Modena. The single ingredient of cooked grape is slowly aged, according to the traditional system of “decant and refill,” through the series of antique casks, of various types of woods. The result is an incredible flavour complexity, and one that cannot be mirrored from one balsamic to another. Just one drop holds insurmountable flavour.
Our pickled tropea onions are the most flavoursome little additions to almost everything! We love it with That's Amore Burrata, a good drizzle of olive oil & balsamic, and our crostini as antipasti. Michelle also loves them on a toasted focaccia sandwich with mortadella and cheese!

Torta Sabbiosa is a traditional Northern Italian cake from Lodi. Sabbiosa, meaning "sand", refers to the crumbly, melt in your mouth texture of this beautiful cake.

Soft Drinks & Non-alcoholic
Springtime, refreshing, deliciousness.
