Recipe: Pasta Special with Provolone Valpadana PDO

Restaurant Description:

Since opening the door to our home, this humble Italian restaurant in Alexandria, we have been blessed with the company of hundreds of curious diners in search of something more. Couples on first dates relax and share cocktails at the hand-crafted wooden bar. The soft, smooth music allows the conversation to flow. And should it stop, our friendly bartenders know how to break the ice. Lovers celebrating an anniversary sit opposite one another at candle-lit tables and raise their glasses to past happiness and future love. Our waiters ensure they are well taken care of without intruding on those special moments. Our menu, which uses traditional Italian produce put together with a little panache’, was designed to be shared. Small and large groups celebrate birthdays, homecomings, Christmas parties and corporate functions at our long table, where share plates are passed around and no-one is forgotten. We can’t wait to meet you.

Recipe: Smoked & Grilled Provolone Valpadana PDO Cheese, Caramelized Pear, Agretti & Anacardi

Restaurant Description:

Sicilian-born, award-winning chef Lino Sauro opened Olio Kensington Street in early 2017 to show Sydney why Sicilian is the new Italian. Olio Kensington Street (Italian for olive oil) is located in the beautifully restored The Old Rum Store with a contemporary indoor dining room plus lush rooftop terrace overlooking Chippendale.

Sauro comes from a long lineage of self-sufficient Sicilian farmers where he grew up with meals that were created with the quality produce grown on the property. This translates into Sauro’s menu with dishes that reflect a strong connection to his Sicilian roots

Keeping it in the family, Sauro sources his olive oil – the base of all his dishes – from the family’s Sicilian farm. Typical of the region, seasonal seafood, wild fennel, raisins, saffron and couscous are hero ingredients on Olio Kensington Street’s menu.

For the past 10 years, Sauro has lived in Singapore heading up his first solo Sicilian restaurant venture showing locals that Italian food can be more than pizza and heavy, creamy sauces. Now it’s Sydney’s turn.

Recipe: Woodfire oven baked Provolone Valpadana PDO

Restaurant Description:

Gossip Magazines sometimes tell stories about men who made dreams and deeds come true, characterising them with legendary tones, as to remark the greatness of their achievements. This is not his case, or at least, not totally.

This is the story of a dreamer who, with obstinacy and stubbornness, is achieving a small deed: bringing his land out of its confines through his kitchen, his behaviour and his unique and contradictory Sicilian personality.

He is Paolo Gatto, born in one of the most fascinating lands of the word, Sicily and specifically in Taormina, where the sky and the ground meet among the hills and the jasmine perfume pervades the town’s alleys.

Paolo is a chef, but he is also a traveler, a true lover of taste.  He is curious and it was maybe his curiosity the one who pushed him to go living in such a faraway country but still much tied up to his destiny.

Restaurant Description:

Whether you have been to Italy or not, you may already know that we take our cooking seriously! The passion for food from the Napolitan region has been, in recent years influenced from many cultures, including French and Spanish. However, the story starts long before, these cultures with Etruscans, Greeks and Roman empires... Through the years, most of the traditional dishes and recipes are often the creation of mothers and grandmothers rather than that of chefs, which makes many of the recipes ideally suited for home cooking. Simplicity is the key, you don't need many ingriedients to make a tasty dish, you need them to be genuine, fresh and treat them gently as our grandmothers have tought us. Pizza is the best example of something very simple in theory but extremely connected to the tradition, of the Napolitano people. With the simplicity of the ingredients used, this allows us to offer the experience of Tastes of Napoli, to you here in Manly. Our oven has been made in the heart of Napoli with ancient stones from the Amalfi coast, our multi-awarded Maestro di Pizziaioli is a fourth generation maker with experience spanning across his entire family and exposure to different Pizzeria's across Naples. Our chef, Vincenzo De Vita, is a multi acclaimed professional, who has been working in Australia for many years, his experience has spanned from the Northern Beaches of Sydney to the Mid North Coast, cooking what he has learned in Italy and using the best ingredients this beautiful country offers. We are True Napolitans, with a true heart and passion for cooking. This is really a little bit of Napoli here in Manly and we hope you will enjoy what we think is special, genuine and above all an experience that you will remember... Buon Appetito Salvatore Leva Danila Minucci

Restaurant Description:

Clara and Stefano, whilst extremely proud to call Melbourne home, the pair feel a strong sense of nostalgia and have tried very hard to fill some of the void of the ‘little things’ that we just aren’t privy to in our cosmopolitan city. Acknowledging the outstanding efforts of Melbourne’s hospitality industry, they felt many of the ingredients were accessible but imagined them being stitched together in a different way. They describe this project as being ‘purpose driven’. “We would find ourselves sprinting around on a weekend for a stand-up espresso in Carlton, to an Italian deli in Brunswick, back home to roll some orecchiette, and then out for an aperitivo with friends. It was exhausting!” says Stefano. “So we tried to list the few things we stand-for that we just can’t live without, and over a glass of primitivo wondered whether they could exist under one roof. By the end of the bottle ‘iPugliesi’ was born”.

Recipe: Salami Pizza

Restaurant Description:

Why 48h?

If you want to eat a real pizza, make sure the dough has been leavened for 48 hours!

For us, 48 hours is the minimum time required for the dough to rise. A dough that has been leavened for 48h with natural yeast will make your pizza light, fragrant and aromatic…just like in Italy.

Natural yeast has been used for generations in Italy. In fact, back in the day, only one person in the village would have natural yeast and they would use it to barter goods with.

Bread was made once a week, and in some villages, just once a month, so natural yeast had to be bartered or families would go without their bread….a sacrilegious thought to any food-respecting Italian!

At 48h, we want to respect and maintain these traditions and introduce you to true Italian flavours, remastered for today’s refined palates. Buon Appetito!

As experts in our 'All you can eat pizza buffet', we pride ourselves on ensuring everyone is well-fed before we leave and making your event one to remember. Our traditional offering is pizza by the slice, however we have been working hard for our new 'pizza by the metre' (1 metre long pizzas) that are sure to be a crowd pleaser and are available by special request.
