Osteria Marzia Unveils Seasonal Delights Inspired by the Italian Coastline

Osteria Marzia’s new seasonal dishes are a celebration of the bountiful Italian coast and its sun-ripened vegetables and fruits. The restaurant on the ground floor of The Fleming Hotel in Wan Chai has created a culinary journey that will take guests palates through Italy’s seaside towns from Campania through Amalfi and down to Puglia.

New Pescatarian Tasting Menu Experience at Osteria Marzia
Osteria Marzia‘s new six-course tasting menu immerses guests into the slow, sun-drenched, and utterly delicious way of Italian coastal living. For HK$788 per person, experience the finest ocean-inspired fare by Chef Luca – reminiscent of diving into the crystal-clear depths of the Adriatic Sea or frolicking on the white powder sand beaches of Sardinia.

The menu begins with traditional aperitivos with bread and anchovies, jet-fresh Hamachi, tomato date, Taggiasca olive, fried capers, and Tartare de Cappesante with scallop, asparagus, chives, wild fennel, chervil and Sorrento lemon. The homemade Spaghetti features a refreshing combination of Bronte pistachio and Sicilian anchovy, followed by Cernia grouper fish prepared and flavoured simply with potato, Taggiasca olive, oregano, and sun-dried tomato. Finish the meal with Sorbetto, a Sorrento lemon sorbet, and the obligatory finale of Baba Al Rum with limoncello Chantilly.

New Seasonal Dish Specials
Standout dishes of the season include the incredibly fresh and light Tartare de Cappesante, a dish of scallop, asparagus, chives, wild fennel, chervil and Sorrento lemon. The delicate Polpo with octopus, zucchini cream, octopus reduction, sweet pecorino, and Dentice with red snapper, snow peas, asparagus, Ratte potato, and fennel are sure to delight. Finally, the Paccheri, a pasta originating from Campania, is served with smoked butter, Cantabrian anchovy and sweet garlic.

The set comes with a bubbling glass of Bellini, the charming Italian cocktail comprising of white peach and Prosecco.
