Overview
There's something about being served your dinner out of a giant wheel of cheese. If that sounds like your idea of a good time, head to Hawthorn's Vaporetto Bar & Eatery between July 2 and July 16, because the kitchen is launching its first-ever cheese wheel. Truly a milestone worth celebrating.
If you haven't tried this before, here's how it works. You order the Italian classic cacio e pepe from the menu, and the Vaporetto team will assemble your dish in a giant wheel of parmesan cheese. The hot pasta and starchy water melt the cheese wheel, creating the most gooey, cheesy, eyes-roll-back-in-your-head-y cacio e pepe you've ever had in your life.
Vaporetto owners, Omar, Giacomo and Donatello, are no strangers to the heady delights of the cheese wheel — they've previously tested it to great success at Vaporetto's sister restaurant, Cosi Bar in South Yarra.
Vaporetto's giant wheel of cheese will be running between July 2 and 16, from 12pm to 3pm for lunch seatings (then again from 5pm till closing). A bowl of cacio e pepe from the wheel will set you back $36.90. You can book your table straight through the website.
