Palazzo Salato's Second Birthday

Overview

For two years now, Palazzo Salato has been bringing pasta, wine and good times to its high-ceilinged, heritage-listed home in the CBD. And, to mark the anniversary, it's putting on a set menu featuring the dishes you love the most.

Executive Chef Alex Major has pored over the restaurant's greatest hits to settle on seven courses. Kicking off the feast is stracciatella with Cantabrian anchovies, followed by a five-strong series of pastas. Try Palazzo Sabato's original scarpinocc with potato, Reggiano and balsamic, before sampling mandilli di seta with caviar, then fagottini of scallop with foie gras.

From there, you'll move onto mafaldine with spanner crab and urchin butter, hot on the heels of rigatoni with kid ragu and marjoram. Come dessert, it'll be Pastry Chef Alberto Comai's time to take over, with his pistachio torta della nonna, made according to his grandmother's recipe and served alongside a scoop of vanilla gelato.

Also on the cards is a rare chance to try one of Palazzo Salato's magnums, to be served by the glass – be it the Vigneti Vallorani 'Avora' Falerio 2022, Les Ardoisières Vin des Allobroges 'Silice' 2022, or the Arianna Occhipinti 'Il Frappato' 2021. The party is happening for just four days, so book soon if you don't want to miss it.
