23.01.2022 This week's specials are a real treat... We've teamed up with our friends (and legendary hospitality pros here in Melbourne) from @oster_eatery to bring you a special by head chef Nicola Romano - Porchetta! We know you'll love it, just as much as we love Oster! They're also giving us their wine made in collaboration with Petronio wines (so many of our favourites featuring this week!) - a Barbera/Nebbiolo blend, matching beautifully with the Porchetta. We're enjoying the start... of Spring (even though we only really got a tease of the sunshine and warmth that lays ahead) and we've put on some wonderful new dishes. Head over to our link in bio to explore this week's specials via Cookaborough. Menu available until 3pm Friday 10th Sept, unless sold out prior. #notjustpasta #yellowisbello See more

21.01.2022 You've seen Basque Cheesecake, but you've never seen it like this before! The newest cake on the Al Dente block is our Baked Yoghurt Basque is made with thick greek yoghurt, and has a moreish balance of sweetness and tang from lime zest. This little treat features on our Long Weekend set menus, or you can buy it by the slice on our Cookaborough menu. If you're watching the Grand Final this weekend, we've got your dinner sorted! We're hitting the road on Saturday, delivering to your door.

21.01.2022 Al Dente x The Belfry pop up has been so much fun this weekend! We've loved seeing all your faces on Brunswick Street and can't wait to see them again next weekend! We've updated our street food pop up opening hours: Fridays 4-8pm Saturdays 12-8pm Sundays 12-6pm ... If you didn't get a chance to stop by this weekend, we'll make sure there are enough Scallops on the grill for you when you arrive next! Ci vediamo! #yellowisbello #popup #streetfood #brunswickstreet #fitzroy #notjustpasta

09.01.2022 On the iconic Hardware Lane in Melbourne's CBD, stands The Hardware Club, a bustling and vibrant Italian osteria churning out inventive, delicious dishes. the team uses techniques traditional, and not so traditional, to make some of Melbourne's best Italian. Our very own chef Andrea met chef Nicola Dusi a few years ago at a collaborative event with Diego Rossi, and they bonded over their love of cooking. We visited the team just a couple weeks ago to pick up some dinner, an...d we've picked two great dishes to feature on this week's Al Dente Cookaborough menu. Their Bucatini Amatriciana Croquettes are made with a flavoursome guanciale bescamela and delicious rich Amatriciana. And our absolute favourite, the Bottarga Dip with Charred Sweet Peppers... This dish didn't even make it home, we ate it all in the 10 min car ride home! Trust us when we tell you to order two. @thehardwareclub_ Link in bio to order - limited quantities available. See more
