Happy 150th Birthday Italia - Spaghetti House celebrates

10th March 2011, 9:16am

To celebrate an important anniversary in Italian history, Italian restaurant group Spaghetti House has recreated a menu of historical dishes which will be offered between 14 and 20 March.

Italia is celebrating its 150th birthday, and to coincide with this, the venture has introduced a menu based on the rich, regal cuisine found in Turin (as the unity of Italy was proclaimed on 17 March in Turin, which became its first capital in 1861).

The menu, priced at £14.95 for two courses and £18.95 for three, includes starters of Potage di patate profumato al tartufo – leek and potato creamed soup with garlic bread and truffle oil, and Gnocchi con salsa al parmigiano e pancetta – potato and spinach gnocchi with parmisan and pancetta.

Mains include Agnolotti al sugo d'arrosto – pasta parcels filled with braised beef, veal jus and sage, and the most typical Turinese dish Brasato al Barolo con polenta – beef braised in Barolo wine with crispy polenta. 

Treats to polish the meal off with include a Torta gelato ganduja – a layered ganduja chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla ice cream torte, although a homemade Tiramisu – Spaghetti House's own recipe – is also on offer. 

A glass of Prosecco is also included in the menu price.
