Matteo’s menu reflects his Sicilian and Southern Italian background, where sharing food with his family has influenced his cooking style. The traditional recipes with Matteo’s modern twist include: crumbed and deep fried arancini rice balls filled with ragu, scamozza and peas; toasted semolina pasta ricotta tortellini with asparagus sauce and smoked marrow; roast lamb with potato, green olive, lemon leaf and pecorino sardo cheese over white polenta; and for a delicious dessert, crisp, golden ricotta donuts with house- made strawberry jam, pistachio brittle and cinnamon gelato.
