The menu is curated by our chef Gobu Kumar, who has curated this perfect Italian set menu at On the Rocks that will warm your soul.
This Italian food festival is designed to give you a glimpse of the unique and authentic flavors of Italy. The festival menu features a selection of traditional Italian dishes, each with its own unique flavour profile, highlighting traditional flavours from different parts of Italy. It celebrates seafood, several types of pasta from tortellini to lasagna, and the famed Cannelloni for dessert.

The festival menu also includes two small plates to choose from – Vedura & Anarcadi Fagottini made of caponata vegetables, and a coriander aioli, or Formaggio di Pollo Lasagne, which has piccata chicken, buffalo mozzarella, and romesco sauce. For the refreshment course to cleanse your palette, you will indulge in a Fruit Tagliatelle with Hong Kong pink guava, red chilli, and sea salt.
The large plates section includes two signature dishes that will leave you with a sense of satisfaction and warmth in your heart. You can choose from Wild Mushroom Caramelle and a Lamb Meatball Spaghetti.
