Massimo
If plates of burrata, serves of mortadella, hand-made pasta and decadent tiramisu are the way to you or your lover’s heart, then you’ll want seats at Amalfi-inspired gem Massimo this Valentine’s Day. Loved-up couples will receive a complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival, before indulging in Italian delights from Massimo’s a-la-carte menu. Start with whipped ricotta dip and house bread, or flash-fried calamari with warm tartare, then twirl the forks into spaghetti with whole marron, chilli, garlic, fresh herbs and breadcrumbs. Or, share the love and go halves in the crispy porchetta and the whole Italian-style chargrilled chicken. The delicious evening at Massimo will wrap up with the limoncello semifreddo served with almond-biscuit crumb, Italian meringue and raspberry gel. There are two sittings at Massimo on Valentine’s Day – 5:30 pm and 7:45 pm.
