LUPO LUNCH CLUB - NOVEMBRE 2019
Ciao,
We have been looking forward to sharing this month's Lunch Club menu with you. Although I love the heat of the summer, autumn is my favourite season. For me this time of year is when we have our greatest flavours - all the fruit and veg that soaked up the sun for months on end are now ready to eat, and dishes are packed with texture, comfort and warmth. I do hope you enjoy the menu we have out together for you.
LUNCH CLUB MENU – 23 November 2019

Carciofi alla romana with potatoes

Fried polenta disk topped with home-made cherry tomato sauce and melted buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil*.
