Ravello is a beautiful place set high in the mountains of the Amalfi coast. Views are at the very least spectacular. The tasting took place on a beautiful sun drench terrace over looking lemon and olive groves perched on the mountains side.
After a few early garnish hiccups the tasting is top notch. Our brief to them was to relax, Italian food is so beautiful when it s simple. Imagine my horror when the Prosciutto and mozzarella arived with parsley and a radish...
The high light was the squash ravioli, which looked great tasted great and was our definite favourite.
After a great tasting for lunch we then headed out to the town square to taste our cake. I had given them a receipe of the finest chocolate cake in the world. The recipe is my mate Ronnies at Hix and its killer. The cake is soft sponge with layers of chocolate tart filling baked in betwen and glazed with chocolate glaze. The chocolate is Amedei: top dollar Italian chocolate from Tuscany: how good does it sound and look!!
We had such a great time, we also sample the best pizza in the world: Marinara, no squid or fishy bits on this, just garlic and oregano and tomato sauce.
It sounds too simple buts its the best Pizza you ll taste here.
