Our dining experience revolved around Carna’s Four-Course Menu, a gastronomic celebration curated by Dario Cecchini. Each course showcased the culinary team's expertise and dedication to Dario's signature creations. The Beef Tartare and Bollito Croquette set a high standard for what followed. The Braised Short Ribs Bombolone was a joy to the palate, preparing us for the main course. The Butter Whisky Flavoured Bistecca Alla Fiorentina and the Australian Black Angus Long Fed T-Bone Steak took center stage. These finest cuts of meat, each with unique flavors, complemented by chunky chips, grilled vegetables, and chimichurri sauce, were simply delectable.
Among these culinary masterpieces, the Toscani Liver stood out impressively. Soaked in milk and garlic for four days, the chicken liver showcased a remarkable depth of flavor that was both unique and memorable. What truly distinguished our dining experience was the chance to engage personally with Dario Cecchini himself. His presence in the restaurant, interacting with guests, added a special touch to the evening.
