Begin with a bite of the grilled verdure panini. A rustic ciabatta
straight out of an Italian grandmother's oven, it is stuffed with grilled vegetables
and ricotta and flavoured with pesto and onion jam. For those who like their
paninis to have some meat, try the chicken and turkey versions. Love the idea
of dips to dip your bread into? Pick up the delicious aubergine and sundried
tomato caponata or the Italian spicy sausage dip and dig in.
The bakery at Foodhallalso offers a selection of the best Italian
breads. From the Italian pull-apart bread to traditional thin crust pizza base
from Rome and a 3-cheese Italian swirl slice bread, you could easily make a
meal of it along with the delicious dips on offer. Olive tapenade, anyone?
The ready-to-eat pizzas are a great option for those who have been
dreaming of hosting a pizza night at home but don’t want to spend hours in the
kitchen. The pizzas from Rome, Naples, and a Lazio-style thin crust pizza, with
delicious toppings are guaranteed to turn your dinner guests into instant fans.
Pizza al taglio has sundried tomato, onion, black olives, sweet peppers,
capsicum, mozzarella.
Are you more of a pasta aficionado? Then head straight to the
racks of fresh homemade, eggless pasta. From the broad and flat paprika
pappardelle from Tuscany, to the spinach and ricotta stuffed tortellini from
Bologna and the black rice risotto with roasted pumpkin and sage from Lombardy,
you are going to want to take home each one. The homemade pasta sauces are a
godsend! The creamy and cheesy Funghi e pisseli with wild mushrooms and herbs
from Piedmont is a specially decadent choice. If you prefer being
health-conscious, the arrabiata sauce or the classic chicken bolognese is a
no-brainer.
For those who price risotto above every other Italian dish,
Foodhallhas got you covered too. Try the fragrant Risotto alla Milanese— saffron risotto made from Carnaroli
rice from Lombardy. The mushroom version— Risotto aiFunghi and the black rice
version— RisottaallaZucca are heavenly options too. If counting calories is
your thing, then pick up the mouthwatering Lemon & Asparagus Quinoa
Risotto.
Shopping can be hard work so
why not begin your Italian culinary vacation right at Foodhall?
Take a bite from the Polenta Bowl and you’re sure to be transported right to
Piedmont. There are also Spaghetti bowls made in the Campania tradition and
Risotto bowls on offer. For those who are gluten-free, try the Baked Zucchini
Rollatini— grilled zucchini roll-ups stuffed with tomato, basil, fresh
mozzarella and baked with arrabiata sauce.
For the perfect sweet end to
your meal, there is the delectable salted caramel panna cotta, a classic
Italian dessert made with thickened cream. Making indulging an easy choice are
the mascarpone chocolate cups, Nutellazippoles and gluten-free Italian lemon
and almond tea cake. For those who aren’t ready to end their Italian dreams, a
packet of Almond Walnut Biscotti is sure to keep them going. Buonappetito!
