I could see Rebecca’s ears perk up when Chef Daniele mentioned we would be starting with Canadian lobster – no less than the best for this lobster carpaccio! Uniquely shaved into spaghetti-like strips, the tuna dish was just as interesting as the presentation: we found ourselves swirling the tuna around to soak up every bit of the distinctive sweet and sour sauce which was elevated with the crispy, salt notes of the pantelleria capers and crispy nori.

The prawn carpaccio with raspberries and limoncello mayo gave a sharp, tart contrast to the delicate sweetness of the red prawns while the pine nuts added a beautiful crunch. We loved the fresh wasabi, too. The seabass and tomato carpaccio was a good example of don’t judge a book by its cover – with truffle and black sesame sauce, this dish was perfection.

The tomato-based seafood risotto was creamy, and packed with fresh calamari and mussels. Comfort food at its finest! I love the table-side entertainment that the sea-salt-crusted fish brings and the side of fried artichoke was so good – not something I’ve had before but I will now be sure to order again and again.

We enjoyed this Italian-inspired meal with a couple of their signature drinks. We’ll be back soon to sit outside and enjoy their stunning beachfront seating.
