Our new Sous Chef, Emilio Arciello, has devised a rather lovely Southern Italian four course supper. The menu borrows from the Neapolitan tradition of using ingredients from one dish to form both the Pasta and Seconde courses. All you have to decide is if you’d like the meat menu or the vegetarian menu. There are antipasti nibbles to start and a choice of puddings to finish. Bellissimo!
