Such a peaceful spot overlooking the Huon River
Salumi di Casa. (Cured meats from home)
The word Salumi in Italian is referring to all cured meats
Today it was served with pickled radish, pears and focaccia, the taste of the meats took me straight back to Italy.
Totani del Griglia - ( Calamari Grilled )
Which read on the menu as - Sitting on a Jerusalem artichokes and nduja veloute with a drizzle of olietto. On further investigation (Nduja is a spicy, spreadable pork sausage from the region of Calabria in Southern Italy.) ( Olietto was described to us as an oil infusion with garlic and herbs ) ( re the veloute, to me I just thought it was a puree ''a very good one" but not being a chef myself a did ask Mr Google! so a sauce made from a roux of butter and flour with chicken, veal or pork stock. So maybe its a case of a wrong name description on the menu or a mix of cooking styles, but at the end of the day would I order that dish again and that would be a very BIG yes.
I just loved this grilled calamari dish, the puree! was rich, earthy and had a great depth of flavour, truly delicious.
