The white alba menu featuring traditional home-made egg tagliatelle tossed with artisanal mountain butter from Beppino Occelli and white truffle petals - a simple dish done to perfection, the al dente pasta soaked up the delicious rich flavours of the butter and truffle. We started with a decent lobster bisque served with assorted cereal and rosemary and deep-fried calamari. We also tried the lasagne Bolognese with layers of fresh pasta and wagyu beef ragout and béchamel, the dish was outstanding due to the home-made pasta and quality ingredients. For dessert, an ice cream combination with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry with fresh seasonal fruit was a light and refreshing ending. The cremino consisting of Tanzanian dark chocolate with Crème fraîche and biscotti and which was served in a jar was rich and even though good, was hard to finish after a big meal.
The deep fried calamari starter was chewy.
Full bar and wide selection of wines.
