25.01.2022 Tonight will be the last limited seating dinner service at House, Im really glad we are still here to say this, and glad to have been cooking for you these weeks in spite of all restrictions. Next week we will be back on our usual dinner schedule Tuesday to Saturday, booking are open and will be able to have plenty of seats so you can enjoy your dinner and your night without any pressure of sort! Thanks again to all the people who have been so supportive these weeks and th...at allowed us to keep House doors open! We cant wait to have you all around for dinner again!!

25.01.2022 Passatelli in brodo its a typical dish from Emilia Romagna, and its one of the oldest Italian recipe we know of. The pasta dough is formed with Parmigiano, Breadcrumbs and Eggs and cook directly when dropped in a hot stock. As we are in Australia and we cant be blind in front of the huge Asian influence in the national cousine, we thought of crossing this old Italian recipe with a Japanese Miso Ramen. ... So here it is our Passatelli in Brodo with Miso, Guanciale and all the trimmings, do yourself a favour and share a bowl with your table tonight!

24.01.2022 In the process of Re Opening on Friday 15th, we are adapting our Menu, Spaces and Schedules for the occasion. We will now be able to welcome only ten people at the same time spaced out between Balcony, Dining Room and Bar. As little as it is, It still feels really good to be able to plate some food and to see you enjoying it, living the space and loving the time you spend here.... We are preparing all a lot of new dishes for a menu that will be a touch smaller than it used to be, but surely as delicious! All seats are taken for dinner Friday 15th, and only couple of seats available Saturday Dinner. Mercato will be open from 10am on the 16th, you will also be able to have a seat and join us for lunch and breakfast. Plenty of communications just to basically say that Im really really looking forward to have you around for dinner once again!

24.01.2022 There is something really special in fresh Scallops, some European would even say its holy. We serve them with an egg yolk sauce, black pepper, pancetta and parmigiano, just like a carbonara.. Is it really something ... an Italian would do? You decide! See more

22.01.2022 As their season is slowing down there are not many pumpkins left in the field for this year, last few are sitting on this shelf in @foxandquailfarm shed, waiting to be cooked and served under our Truffle Injected Burrata! As you can see we were so blessed, to be able to use so many different varieties of this beautiful vegetable and of course all of the other beauties growing in the crop. Now that you had a look at all this Bio-Diversity, how do you settle for Just Another Pumpkin!?

22.01.2022 For many years I would shiver each time a guest would ask me to add grated Parmigiano on their Prawn Pasta. It must be because this 2020 year was quite shocking and took away most of my preconceptions or because of all the daily Escoffier lessons, well we tried to do Mantecatura on the bisque and... wow. As I thought I was going mad, I called my family and friends and asked them if I was allowed to do this, just a few of them approved but that’s all I needed.. Fresh Eggs Spag...hetti King Prawns & Bisque Garlic,Chili,Chives,Lemon (Butter and Parmigiano) See more

17.01.2022 As the spread of COVID-19 is deeply concerning and alerting our suburb Potts Point and all our customers. We have decided will be closing House doors again tonight and tomorrow. The situation is changing every hour and cases seem to be rising, so will take these days to evaluate the situation and properly think our next moves. With the hope to see you all very soon, thanks for your support!

15.01.2022 Tomorrow 10th May Mothers Day House Mercato is open!

15.01.2022 It was last year when we started working on these gnocchetti. We were looking to make something flour only, no potatoes, eggs or anything else, at the beginning we used to make them with spelt flour but now we’ve swapped for whole Rye which has a stronger flavour but softer texture and works well with this new sauce. Gnocchetti are cooked in Spanner Crab Bisque with its flesh and some snow peas are added for colour, freshness and crunch, it serves with Kohl Rabi chips and Chili Julienne. A must try!

13.01.2022 We can perceive how uncertain you are all feeling these days, and how everyone is scared of the spread across our suburb. As a result so many of you have been cancelling their reservations for these past and coming weeks, which leave us no choice but to temporarily adjust our opening hours, we are now open for dinner service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night only.

12.01.2022 Last week was an hiccup, Lets try again please, Choose your fresh pasta, choose your sauce, cook it up, share it with your house, enjoy the moment!

09.01.2022 Being Italian, Working everyday with Frenchies it’s a continuous compromise.. they want to add cheese, cream and butter everywhere, they are always right specially if they are not, and the way they pronunce ‘R’ doesn’t improve even if they have been living here for most of their life’s. All jokes aside (they are over sensitive too) I really couldn’t do without them and their serious and respectful approach to what we do and the life we live. All this introduction wants to be ...an anthem without flag, because it doesn’t really matter where you are from as long as you find the place you belong to and you can be yourself in. In the picture one of our latest compromises...PIZZAladière, Choux Jam, white Anchovies, black Olives on sourdough Base

With that said, one thing is for sure, In Kangaroo Valley @foxandquailfarm its Cabbage Season! ...

03.01.2022 Last weekend we were in Kangaroo Valley to join @foxandquailfarm in the planting of all lot of seedlings, which with time and special care will grow to become the beautiful organic vegetables we use daily in all our dishes at House. Its been a blessing to cooperate with their farm for the last years and Its amazing for me as a chef to be able to follow the growth of the products we use and to know they are so well and naturally taken care of by the amazing Family who runs the operation. @ Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales

02.01.2022 Have you ever heard of Canederli? Its a traditional bread dumpling from Trentino Alto Adige, an alpine region of north Italy, they are usually made with bread soaked in milk mixed with cheese and spinach or other greens field leaves. We cook them in stock and serve them with butter sauce and lots of cheese. They have been on our menu since the first day and they are one of the most popular choices you can pick in our full VEGETARIAN menu. ... and...did you know that, as well as our regular and vegetarian menu, we are now serving a Full VEGAN carte with plenty of fresh pasta options and much much more!! Because no matter what your diet is, you will always find the right dish for you at House!

02.01.2022 In Italy and consequently in the whole world, we can find over 300 different shapes of Pasta, each type with a particular characteristic, you can find short or long ones, curly, lisce o rigata, made of durum wheat or egg based. Each different shape its linked, and it originate, from a different region in Italy, and its texture its meant to achieve the best bite only when mixed with the right regional products and sauces. Like Linguine with Vongole from Campania or Trofie... al Pesto for Liguria, or Orecchiette With Cime di rape in Puglia. In a way, each region of Italy, and their habitants, have a very strong and unique identity that cant be easily mistaken for another region, and Im sure that if you have spent some time with Italians, even you, can now guess, more or less accurately,if we are from north or south, east or west. Im insisting in regionality and how its all so different but then how and when Did Pasta become a National Symbol and THE stereotype for Italians and Italian food? It didnt happen around the end of 1800, in spite of the birth of the first Pastas factories, in fact When Garibaldi and Artusi used their separate efforts to unify the idea behind Italy, Italians and Italian Food, Pasta was still classified as a poor class food and as the bourgeoisie class was ruling, they were setting the standards and eating pigeons. As Im not an historian I dont have the right knowledge to find the solution to my self-posed dilemma but I think three key factors played a key role into making Pasta an All Italian Flag. The War, the Television and the Emigration towards America and Australia. The great wars flatten up the economical differences In the Italian families, less people could afford pigeons now and so everyone had to start using grains. The television flatten up the cultural differences all over Italy, people from Milano were watching the same shows of the people from Venice and everyone watched and laughed when that comedian from Naples started eating Spaghetti with its bare hands. And Emigration well.. the stereotype was born there.. Pizza, Pasta and Mandolino

01.01.2022 Will try with Chili, you never know, it may bring me some luck!
