Seafood lovers will appreciate the Risotto alla Marinara, featuring Carnaroli rice with parsley-based ’Verde’ sauce, red mullet, cuttlefish, shrimp, and the distinctive Peperone Crusco from Basilicata. The catch of the day is expertly seared and served with herb mashed potatoes, stuffed mini peppers, Taggiasca olives, and a vibrant tomato jus.
