Freshly Baked Pasta and Traditional Recipes
Our terrace is proud to offer a selection of freshly baked pasta dishes that are crafted using authentic recipes from our renowned Italian suppliers. We feature a variety of pasta types to cater to every palate, from the luscious layers of our lasagna to the delicate parcels of ravioli, and the classic ribbons of tagliatelle. Each pasta dish is a testament to the artisanal methods we employ, ensuring that every bite brings the rich heritage of Italian cuisine to your plate.
The foundation of our pasta dishes lies in the use of fresh ingredients. Our handmade pasta dough is prepared daily, using only the finest flour and eggs, which lends a tender and satisfying texture to our pasta. The sauces that accompany our pasta are equally important, prepared with ripe tomatoes, fragrant garlic, and fresh herbs. These rich, flavorful sauces are simmered to perfection, enhancing the natural goodness of our ingredients and bringing out the true essence of traditional Italian cooking.
Our lasagna, for example, is layered with a robust meat sauce, creamy béchamel, and a blend of cheeses, creating a hearty and comforting dish that has been loved for generations. Our ravioli, filled with ricotta and spinach or other seasonal ingredients, showcases the delicate balance of flavors and textures that define Italian cuisine. Tagliatelle, often paired with a rich ragù or a simple yet elegant truffle sauce, highlights the versatility and elegance of freshly made pasta.
Beyond the food, the warm and friendly environment of our terrace ensures that every dining experience is memorable. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere invites guests to relax and savor each dish, creating a sense of home away from home. The combination of authentic Italian cuisine and a pleasant ambiance makes dining with us not just a meal, but an experience to cherish.
