We love simplicity in food at Al Dente, especially when that simplicity brings life into the comfiest of spaces; home! This special has been on our menu for just a few short days, and boy, oh boy (!) does it hit the spot. Delight found in little pockets of agnolotti filled with wagyu fat, Prosciutto di Carpegna offcuts (the best prosciutto In. The. World! If you ask us) and mortadella, happily swimming in a sauce of panna (cream and Grana Padano). We'll send you just the right amount of panna sauce to complement the agnolotti which takes all the complications of cooking away, and means you get pure, unadulterated pleasure from our kitchen, to yours.

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!

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.

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.

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!

These Razor Clams are part of the Pepus range of Spanish preserved seafood, preserved in a salty brine giving them a wonderful fresh taste of the sea. Serve them next time you are having champagne or with your favourite Aperitivo. A little transportation to Spain in a tin, sounds good to me!
