SADEK — WHITE CHOCOLATE BASQUE CHEESECAKE 🤍
Cheesecake has always been special to me. Since my years working in Spain, I’ve always loved making it — and funny enough, all my bodybuilding mates love cheesecake too. 😂💪
This month at Carne & Cucina, Sadek is back as a White Chocolate Basque Cheesecake — deeply caramelised outside, soft and creamy inside. The Basque style comes from San Sebastián, where this type of cheesecake became famous for its dark top and creamy centre.
You can have it by the slice, or order a whole Sadek for a birthday or celebration at Carne. 🎂
And because I don’t believe recipes should be secrets… DM me privately if you want the recipe.
Also follow Carne & Cucina and check the link on my page — I’m going to start sharing more of my recipes, techniques and food stories there.
Food is made to be shared. Recipes too. ❤️

Happy Birthday to the true heart of Carne & Cucina. ❤️
Founder of Alessa Vino, and now Director of Spaccanapoli.
Most people see Alex out front — the wine, the service, the smile, the energy. But what they don’t always see is everything happening backstage.
Between the kids, her marito, the staff, Carne, Alessa and now Spacca… somehow she always finds the time.
The numbers. The strategy. Discovering new wines. Training the team. Solving problems. Looking after everyone. And making sure all our crazy ideas actually happen.
She is the superwoman behind all of us.
She inspires our family and our team every single day, and without her, so much of what we have built simply wouldn’t be possible.
Today is about you, Alex.
Happy Birthday from all of us. ❤️

This is what we believe in at Carne & Cucina. 🥩🔥
A beautiful dry-aged rib eye, cut and prepared in collaboration with Saratoga Quality Meats.
For us, it’s never just about putting a steak on the plate. It starts with the quality of the animal, the ageing, the butcher, the cut — and finally the way we cook it.
Working closely with our butcher means we have access to incredible Australian beef and, more importantly, we can follow the product from the butcher’s block all the way to your plate.
Butcher × Chef. Product × Craft.
No shortcuts. No bu****it. Just respect for the ingredient and people who work hard behind it.
This is the relationship we believe in.
This is Carne & Cucina. 🇮🇹🥩🔥

NEW DISH ALERT 🍝 Alex tries our new Spaghetti allo Scarpariello.
Spaghetti allo Scarpariello is one of those dishes that tells the story of Naples through just a handful of simple ingredients.
Its name comes from scarparo, the Neapolitan word for shoemaker. The dish is traditionally associated with the working class neighbourhoods of Naples, where shoemakers needed something quick, inexpensive and full of flavour during a long day of work.
The story goes that customers who could not afford to pay entirely in money would sometimes offer food instead, particularly cheese. This is said to be one of the reasons Scarpariello became famous for its generous use of grated cheese.
The original idea was beautifully simple: pasta, tomato, garlic, basil, chilli and plenty of cheese.
But Scarpariello is much more than spaghetti with tomato sauce. The magic happens when the pasta finishes cooking in the pan with the tomato, before the cheese is worked through with a little pasta water. Everything comes together into a sauce that is creamy, glossy, slightly spicy and intensely flavoured, finished with plenty of fresh basil.
In this reel, Nico shares the story behind this Neapolitan classic while Alex tries the version now being served at Canne Cucina, accompanied by Lorenzo Manfredi Chianti from Tuscany. 🍷
For us, Scarpariello represents everything Neapolitan cooking is about: simple ingredients, no waste, big flavour and food created by ordinary people.
A humble plate of pasta born in the streets of Naples that, generations later, still tastes like home.
This is Napoli. This is Scarpariello. 🇮🇹

Our newest dish starts in the sea… and ends beside the fire. 🔥
We’ve been working on this kingfish dish for a while, refining every element until it felt unmistakably Carne & Cucina: fresh, generous and full of flavour.
And because we are Carne & Cucina, there’s always something beautiful cooking over the flames too.
New kingfish. Fire-cooked meat. Made with heart and served our way. Come and taste what we’ve been creating. 🤍

Father’s Day can’t start without baking the big boy sourdough.
And of course, every time the bread comes out of the oven, the memories take me straight back home.
I remember Nonna making bread, and there was no waiting for it to cool down… straight from the oven, still warm, cut it open, mortadella and provolone inside.
Nothing complicated. Just warm bread, beautiful mortadella, provolone… and memories.
Some flavours never leave you. They stay with you for life.
So today, for Father’s Day, we start exactly like this.
Big boy sourdough, mortadella, provolone… prego! 🇮🇹❤️

As much as we don’t want our kids to choose this crazy hospitality life one day… somehow, we’re so grateful they get to grow up inside it. ❤️

One following Mamma on the floor, learning about people, service and connection.
The other beside Papà in the kitchen, watching, cooking, tasting and learning where food comes from. 🇮🇹

Hospitality is hard. Long hours, late nights, weekends, pressure… but it teaches lessons no classroom ever could.

Work hard. Respect people. Help each other. Talk to everyone. Get your hands dirty. Be part of a team. And understand that nothing comes without effort.

Maybe they’ll never choose this life, and secretly, we hope they don’t 😂

But the lessons they’re learning while growing up around restaurant?

Those, we hope they carry forever. ❤️

🏆 OUR BELLA DID IT! 🏆

We couldn’t be prouder of our young apprentice Bella, who took out 1st place in Stage 1 of the Hunter Apprentices Cookery Competition! 👩‍🍳✨

Watching Bella grow, learn and develop in our kitchen has been such a pleasure. She brings passion, determination and a willingness to learn every day, and seeing her hard work recognised like this makes the whole Carne & Cucina family incredibly proud. ❤️

This is only the beginning, Bella. Keep cooking, keep learning and keep pushing. We can’t wait to see where your talent takes you. 🔥

BRAVA BELLA! 🇮🇹👏
