italian

bri bri's hommmmmmmeeeeeeee from new york!
missed her silly face, haha.

i really love the Italian, on 101 Collins St
and was a great place for a spontaneous dinner out
only big minus was the wine list, they dont sell moscato by the glass which was disappointing

i ve said this before, but my favourite way to start a meal when i m out is some good sourdough, and soft salty butter/oilve oil. yum!





freshly shucked oysters with lemon and shallot vinegar

hen's entree: baccala: salt cod croquettes with endive and aioli



my entree was terrine val d aosta, pork and pistachio with greens, garlic bread and gherkins! i could eat this allllll day it was super yummy!




fresh rigatoni with lamb shoulder and rosemary ragu



twice roasted duckling with oregano, olive and spring onion

and then dessert.







had the creamiest vanilla panna cotta with caramelised cherries, simple but was amazing! we couldnt get enough. there was an fairly average chocolate fondant and a great nutty cassata with strawberries



wore my coat from Escada. I love it, its so big and roomy and soft!
dont know who took the photo, i suspect it was Hen. but i prefer the photo this way, cant see my massive eyebags!

sigh. i love the Italian.
:D
