Among the showcased delights are plates brimming with the freshest seafood. A particular standout is the tuna tartare, a dish known for its delicate taste and refined simplicity, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean with every bite.

Not to be outdone, the beef dish serves as a hearty counterpoint, likely drawing from Italy’s rich tradition of meat preparation. Salads, an indispensable part of any Italian meal, also make an appearance. Far from being mere sides, these salads are likely a celebration of Italy’s bountiful produce, dressed in nothing but the finest olive oil.

Pasta and ravioli, the quintessential heroes of Italian cuisine, are, of course, present. These dishes are not just food; they showcase regional diversity, family traditions and food comfort.

The selection is rounded off with prosciutto, a dry-cured ham staple in Italian antipasti. Thinly sliced and served with a variety of accompaniments.
