Tortellini Pomodoro at Torrisi @majorfoodgroup @richtorrisi @mariocarbone 🔥😍

Lunch at Torrisi was great. A very buzzy atmosphere and lots of precision at the pass with all the plates being triple checked and finessed before being sent out. These guys really know how to operate. It’s a very seamless experience and the food was solid. I came here wanting to try one dish in particular: the handmade cavatelli with Jamaican beef patty ragu; and turns out it was my favourite dish! Topped with goat ricotta and specks of red habanero. A very well seasoned and spiced sauce that was rich, beefy and cohesive. It coated each piece of the chewy cavatelli beautifully. I often like adding some form of spice to my pasta but this was just perfect. Glossy and flowy. I’m going to need to recreate this one at home so watch this space, it’s coming. Next up was their zeppole with prosciutto and pineapple jam. These fluffy little fried balls of dough were the perfect vehicle for the cured ham. A lovely savoury bite that was balanced out with the sweet jam. Really tasty. The clam boule was fantastic. Like a vongole on toast - all the flavours you want in there with plenty of garlic, parsley and wine but with the clams shining at the forefront. The tortellini pomodoro was great - simple but tasty, filled with an ultra creamy, velvety smooth ricotta and sat on a sweet pom sauce. The capellini Cantonese was an interesting one. A very unique and flavoursome plate that fuses together Italian and Chinese flavours. I love how they have incorporated different regional spins on some Italian classics here - it really works well. A lovely spot for lunch or dinner, but with slightly different menus for each. Save space for that frozen affogato tiramisu style dessert too #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
