About Eatery celebrates its fifth year in business with a new chef, a new pasta station, a new charcuterie station and new dishes.
New chef Lorenzo Rosso, also a new partner, takes hold of the reins in the kitchen and ushers About Eatery towards a modern trattoria concept, with a focus on seasonal ingredients.
"I have chosen to do everything in-house, from the pastas, to the charcuterie and dessert. The focus will be on healthier dishes. I want the flexibility to work with products, even if they are weekly. I don't want to have a static menu like before so our menu now may change weekly, if not monthly," says the chef.
The "About Pasta" corner, which is now near the entrance, will have carefully selected pastas made fresh daily from scratch and by hand. The Bigoli bottarga (B890) is crafted using a special clamp-like device called the "bigolaro", traditionally used to make this type of thick pasta. The fresh pasta is then combined with rock lobster, grey mullet roe, cherry tomato, chilli, garlic and parsley. Another highlight from the pasta menu is the Tagliolini black truffle (B590), where fresh tagliolini is paired with double butter sauce, anchovy, Parmesan and black truffle. Pastas and sauces are in rotation and there will always be a new combination of pairing for diners to enjoy with every visit.

The restaurant also houses a new charcuterie and cheese corner -- "About Charcuterie", where fresh cold cuts and cheese are imported from the best producers and served in three different sizes; 60cm, 80cm and 100cm. While fresh pastas are must haves, don't miss mains and appetisers such as Fried crab cake (B590), Rock salt grilled wild cod fish fillet (B850) and Lamb chops (B870), as well as their homemade Chocolate cake with Chantilly cream (B250), which is chef Rosso's signature.
About Eatery's restaurant manager and sommelier Giulio Saverino also offers some ideal wine pairing with each dish. Look out for upcoming activities such as the "About Seasonal" series and the Orange Wine Festival.
