Sauced Chicken and Crisp Pickles

The fried chicken arrives liberally sauced and crowned with crisp sliced pickles that cut directly through the richness of the fried golden coating.

It brings a familiar comfort food feel to the start of the table, offering a hearty texture and bright pickled crunch that make it an engaging bite before moving on to pizza or pasta dishes.

Truffle Mac and Cheese Arancini

Alongside the chicken, the arancini ball offers a clever reimagining of a classic Italian fried snack, packing rich truffle mac and cheese inside a crisp outer shell.

Rather than serving the fried sphere on its own, the kitchen pairs the arancini ball with sweet pea ricotta, which adds a cool, fresh element to balance the deep richness of the truffle and cheese.

The harmony between the decadent mac and cheese filling and the vibrant sweet pea ricotta creates a thoughtful contrast, turning a casual starter into a standout dish on the table.
