Stuzzichino: Pan-Fried Scallops with Porcini and Kale

Our culinary adventure began with the Stuzzichino course—pan-fried scallops seared to golden perfection. With their delicate crust and tender interior, these scallops were paired beautifully with earthy porcini mushrooms and crisp kale. The flavors of the woodsy porcini and sweet scallops melded perfectly, while the kale added a subtle crunch, setting a sophisticated tone for the evening.

The fresh fusilli, perfectly al dente, was a delightful canvas for the succulent red prawns bursting with natural sweetness. A rich sauce brought the dish together, showcasing the simplicity and elegance of authentic Italian cuisine.



Roasted Tooth Fish

Secondo: US Prime Stripling and Roasted Tooth Fish


The Secondo course offered a dual delight: the US Prime Stripling and Roasted Tooth Fish. The Prime Stripling, served with blueberries and confit potatoes, was a symphony of savory and sweet.


Roasted Tooth Fish

As for the Roasted Tooth Fish, paired with fennel and creamy polenta, highlighted Finestra’s mastery of flavor balance and texture.
