The Angus beef carpaccio followed, thinly sliced and beautifully seasoned, offering a delicate yet flavorful start to the meal. The handcrafted Culurgiones Ogliastrina, a traditional stuffed pasta, was a standout dish with its silky texture and deeply satisfying filling, a testament to the chef’s artistry. The classic seafood stew was generous and aromatic, filled with the freshest catch and a perfectly balanced broth that celebrated the ocean’s bounty. For the finale, the herb crusted lamb rack was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, complemented by subtle herbs and a touch of Mediterranean flair.
