rom the pastel-coloured palazzi in Venice to the Prosecco hills of Valpolicella, the romance of Veneto extends far beyond Romeo & Juliet’s balcony in Verona. If a trip to Italy feels like a faraway dream this Valentine’s Day, let us transport you to Italy’s most romantic region with a special Venetian menu starring an abundance of fresh seafood from the lagoons, ancient Byzantine recipes and aromatic butter sauces.
Those lucky enough to have driven along the Italian coastline will be familiar with the small, family-run restaurants that appear on the horizon. As one draws closer, one cannot help but marvel at how beautiful their pale blue facades look against the sun: a sort of seaside fairy tale. But it’s the waft of fresh seafood cooking in the kitchens of these little, family-run establishments that is most captivating. From aragosta - lobster in Italian - to the most beautiful crab & prawn, these little coastline eating spots typically source freshly-caught seafood directly from nearby fishermen in the morning, giving them time to prepare the catch and create simple but sublime dishes in time for hungry drivers to feast upon as lunchtime arrives.
In this dish, we’ve looked to this wonderfully idyllic scene of the Italian coastline for inspiration, choosing to serve this week’s tortelloni with mouthwatering lobster, crab and prawn. To finish, we lather the tortelloni in an indulgent lobster butter, which is complemented beautifully by a simple sprinkling of fresh parsley.
