Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen
The new Griglia at 37 Craig Road welcomes diners with a Christmas set menu available for dinner on 24 December, as well as lunch and dinner on 25 December. Curated by chef-partner Andrea De Paola, who also runs Zafferano, the menu includes a range of starters, hearty pastas, fire-grilled main courses, sides and desserts, served in sharing portions.
Start your celebratory meal with grilled Hokkaido scallop crudo with a tangy cauliflower salad and caviar, and zucchini flower filled with slow-cooked Iberico pork loin and truffle cream. You’ll also get to tuck into burratina with eggplant caponata as well as roasted lamb with zucchini and oregano cream. Pasta courses include house-made tagliolini with lobster tail, Vesuvius tomatoes and basil, and a substantial baked Conchiglioni pasta filled with smoked ricotta and truffle and livened up with parmesan and guanciale. Mains-wise, you’ll get to feast on 10-day dry-aged quail stuffed with foie gras and raisins, the signature Grass-fed wagyu beef striploin, and Spanish turbot fillet. Finally, dive into the festive dessert of Panettonemisu, a luscious combination of panettone and tiramisu. Think luscious layers of panettone with mascarpone, marsala zabaglione, and espresso, crowned with dark cocoa powder.
