“La Festa Roast” at Bottega di Carna

On Sundays, we feast.

Bottega di Carna presents Sunday lunch, Italian style

Introducing the new “La Festa Roast”, an exceptionally mouthwatering Italian feast every Sunday at Bottega di Carna. This all-out lunch of the “World’s Greatest Butcher” Dario Cecchini’s family favourites brings together succulent cuts of meat, flowing wines and DJs spinning.

Ease into your Sunday, or perhaps it’s a hair of the dog, with the new Bottega di Carna Bloody Mary Station. Keep it classic or mix it up with different spirits, pickles and chillis, with varieties from Italy and Mexico.

Chef Kenny Huang and his team spend days cooking up a storm every week to create a theatrical Italian take on the Sunday roast, with live stations and tableside service. Lunch begins with sharing starters for the table, with Cecchini’s signature Beef Tartare, Italian charcuterie and Burrata with tomatoes and Tuscan olive oil.

Then things get serious. Feast on a spread of prime cuts of succulent meat, fish and handmade pasta and delicious sides, all served straight from the fire at Bottega di Carna’s open kitchen.

Porchetta is prepared over two days, brined and marinated with rosemary, thyme, fennel and bay, stuffed with garlic and herbs and roasted in classic Italian style at a low heat to ensure maximum juiciness, the meat is then finished on the wood fire to create the ultimate crackling.

Chef Huang shares that the “Grilled New Zealand Lamb Leg is first scored and marinated over two days with a blend of herbs and spices including paprika, cayenne and a touch of cinnamon to sweeten things up, not forgetting fresh rosemary, thyme and garlic. Once these flavours have penetrated the meat, we roast it slowly over the fire for three hours.”

Dario Cecchini’s pure approach comes into play with the Grilled Black Angus Ribeye (200-day grain-fed), simply cooked over wood and fire, rested and finished with extra virgin olive oil and the signature Profumo del Chianti blend of salt and aromatic herbs.

Also on the menu is the decadent Parmigiano Cheese Wheel filled with homemade macaroni, and grilled seabass, finished with olives, capers and fresh herbs.

Sides of charcoal-roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables Dario-style, brussels sprouts with bacon, and a selection of freshly made sauces including bearnaise, salsa verde and peppercorn are also on offer.

Save some room for the Dolce, including Tiramisu and Cecchini’s Special Torta All’olio D’oliva Olive Cake, a soft and spongy traditional cake made with extra virgin olive oil and the fragrance of whole orange and lemon. Fresh Sicilian Cannoli are served table side and finished with a choice of fresh fruits, nuts and chocolate.

Make it one for the books with free flowing cocktails, such as the favourite Affogato Espresso Martini, wines and Veuve Clicquot champagne.
