Aggiadda di polpo฿690Crispy octopus meatballs on garlic, red wine vinegar and tomato sauce. It contains mollusks meat, gluten and eggs. Aggiadda is a sauce made of fresh tomatoes and wine vinegar, traditional of Liguria, on the eastern seaside of Italy. The original recipe was then imported in Tabarka, an island off the coast of Tunisia in the XV century. From there, the same fishermen establish the colony of Carloforte in Sardinia, hence importing their culinary traditions. This recipe is a modern reinterpretation of the Carloforte’s tradition, made of delicate octopus meatballs, deep fried crispy and served on fresh tomato aggiadda. The sauce is slightly spicy.

Salsiccia e pecorino฿790Myrtleberry infused aged sausage with Pecorino ewe’s milk cheese. It contains dairies, gluten and pork meat. Awarded as a Slow Food Presidium, Pecorino di Osilo is made from raw sheep milk in northern Sardinia by Pulinas family following the “integrated Farming” philosophy, which means that the family takes care of everything, from the sheeps to the cheese aging. Slightly smaller and taller than the classic Sardinian sheep’s milk cheeses, Osilo Pecorino has an incredible smoothness, the result of pressing during production. The sausage is briefly cured, still a bit soft and infused with myrtleberries, the most unique and recognisable flavor of Sardinia. All served on a sheet of Pane carasau; "toasted bread" in Sardinian language, quickly baked with extra virgin olive oil, fresh rosemary and a pinch of sea salt. Few marinated Leccino olives to complement.

Lorighittas alla sassarese฿790Lorighittas pasta from Morgongiori, Sardinia, with semi aged Pecorino sheep cheese and parsley. Lorighittas ("small rings" in Sardinian) are a type of pasta typical of the village of Morgongiori at the foot of Monte Arci in Sardinia. They are recognized as a traditional food and thus carry the P.A.T. label in Italy. They are prepared by hand by twisting a double string of dough between the fingers to create a closed braid to form a ring (loriga, in Sardinian). They are traditionally prepared for the feast of All Saints Day with semolina flour and water. To make a kilo of pasta a person alone can take 3/4 hours. We prepare them with a creamy sauce made of its cooking water and Pecorino di Osilo, which is made from raw sheep milk in northern Sardinia by Pulinas family following the “integrated Farming” philosophy, which means that the family takes care of everything, from the sheeps to the cheese aging. Osilo Pecorino has an incredible smoothness, the result of pressing during production.

Fregola risottata alle arselle con polpa di riccio฿1190Wood roasted fregola pasta cooked in wedge clams broth with mediterranean herbs and finished with sea urchin roe.

Fregola comes in varying sizes, but typically consists of semolina dough that has been rolled into balls 2–3 mm in diameter and toasted in a wood fired oven. We simmer it into clams stock, cooking similarly to risotto and finish with raw sea urchin roe for the Mediterranean sea (Sicily).

Filandeu nel brodetto di scampi฿1190World’s rarest pasta “filandeu” in herbs infused langoustine broth. Filindeu (Sardinian: su filindeu, "Thread of God") is a rare pasta from the Barbagia region of Sardinia. It is made by pulling and folding semolina dough into very thin threads, which are laid in three layers on a tray called a fundu and dried to form textile-like sheets. The dried sheets are broken into pieces and served in a langoustine thick broth with herbs. Filindeu is listed on the Ark of Taste. The preparation of pasta for the soup, made exclusively by hand, is handed down by women from generation to generation and in modern times there are few, ten in all, women who keep the once more widespread tradition.

Breaded mozzarella and battered artichokes, deep fried to golden crispy and served with a duo of sauces: Arrabbiata, Italian for “mad” is a slightly spicy tomato sauce with garlic, very common throughout many different civilizations around the Mediterranean, goes incredibly well with the fried mozzarella; Salmoriglio, an ancient condiment, known with different names all around the Mediterranean and made with peasley, garlic, mustard and lemon juice, all blended with extra virgin olive oil, perfect to dip the fried artichokes.

Tonno alla carlofortina฿690Carloforte style tuna, in cherry tomatoes and white wine sauce and served with fresh, hand pestled pesto. Carloforte is a fishing and resort town located on Isola di San Pietro (Saint Peter's Island), approximately 7 kilometres off the southwestern coast of Sardinia. It is a member of the I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy") association. Carloforte was founded in the 18th century by around 30 families of coral fishers, originally from the Ligurian town of Pegli, near Genoa. They had left their hometown in 1541, and had settled in the island of Tabarka, off the coast of Tunisia, to fish for coral. After centuries, the coral in that area was exhausted and the families, while setting off back to Italy, found there was plenty of coral in the sea off the Sardinian coast. This rich, multicultural environment makes Carloforte a crossroad of flavors between Genoa, Tabarka and Sardinia, were exquisite tuna and swordfish are still fished the traditional way.

Branzino in acqua pazza con carciofi in due modi฿790Seabass fillet in herbs and white wine sauce with artichokes two ways. The term acqua pazza (Italian for ‘crazy water’) is used in Italian cuisine to refer to a recipe for poached white fish, or to simply refer to the lightly herbed broth used to poach it. The are many versions but our take is the lighter one, made of white wine, fresh Italian basil, a whole clove of garlic, slightly crushed (‘in camicia’, Italian for ‘wearing a shirt’) and pitted olives, the Leccino variety. The fillet, deboned and drenched in flour, is first seared and then poached in acqua pazza. Serve with deep fried battered artichokes and artichoke purée.
