This week La Villa is celebrating all things Italian and our talented Chef Piero is preparing his stellar interpretations of classic Italian fare. With ingredients sourced from artisanal producers, Chef Piero will showcase his mastery of regional Italian cuisines. Prepare your tastebuds for an ode to Italy through exquisite food and wine.
No Italian feast is complete without an indulgent, bone-in Tomahawk steak grilled over a wood fire. Chef Piero starts with prime cuts of locally sourced beef and transforms them with his signature spice rub. The Tomahawk develops a crusty char exterior while the inside remains tender and juicy. A drizzle of Tuscan olive oil and shavings of Pecorino Romano make this steak shine.
For seafood lovers, the Spaghetti alle Vongole transports you to the coast of Naples. Chef Piero’s version stars plump clams and mussels steamed open with garlic, olive oil, white wine and chilies. Tossed with al dente pasta, the briny seafood liquor creates an irresistible sauce. It’s Italian seafood perfection in one bowl.
Finish your meal on a sweet note with our tiramisu. Made from freshly brewed espresso and imported mascarpone to create the quintessential Italian dessert. A dusting of cocoa powder completes this timeless sweet treat.
During Italian Week, La Villa provides a delicious escape to Italy without leaving Nairobi. Let Chef Piero transport you through authentic Italian flavors and his stellar interpretations of regional Italian cuisines. From the Tomahawk steak to the Spaghetti alle Vongole, prepare for an ode to Italy at La Villa.
