A new season finds its way to the table.

As the season begins to turn, so too does the menu at Peasant Osteria, with a collection of new dishes celebrating brighter flavours, beautiful produce and a little taste of what lies ahead.

❦ Duck prosciutto with jewel-like blood orange, caper berries, Capra Sarda and delicate pea shoots.

❦ Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare, abundant with prawns, mussels and clams, folded through tomato, capers and parsley.

❦ A luxuriant crab risotto, gently warmed with chilli and finished with spinach, mascarpone and lemon.

And then, naturally, something sweet.

❦ Our timeless Tiramisù

❦ Pistachio and olive oil cake with silken lemon curd, blood orange sorbet and a delicate olive oil tuile.

❦ Children's Menu. And because the pleasure of gathering around the table should belong to everyone, we have also introduced a menu especially for our bambini.

Try these and many more new dishes for the changing season. More reasons to linger.

A winter warmer begins here.

Golden Sicilian beef and pea arancini, crisp at the edges and yielding within, nestled into a rich tomato ragù and finished generously with parmesan.

Alongside, the 2023 Scala Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore D.O.C. from Calabria. Warm, savoury and unmistakably southern Italian, a beautiful companion to the richness of the dish.

Crisp. Rich. Comforting.

Exactly where a winter evening should begin.
