🏛️Available this weekend: we’ve got Gnudi. Soft, cloud~like dumplings made from ricotta and spinach with just a touch of flour.

The name means “naked” in Italian, basically ravioli filling without the pasta shell, pure and exposed in all its flavour.

We’re serving them with tomato butter and fried saltbush. 🏛️❤️‍🔥

FETTUCCINE alla PAPALINA ⛪️
Cocoa Egg Fettuccine, Speck, Cured Yolk, Parm Cream, Truffle

Rome, sometime in the 1930s. The Vatican kitchen, usually accustomed to solemnity and structure, received a rather curious request. Not from a visiting cardinal but from the Pope himself.

Eugenio Pacelli, soon to become Pope Pius XII, was a refined man. Roman by birth, Roman in palate, but he had grown tired of the rustic richness of the typical carbonara. Too heavy. He wanted something lighter, more delicate, yet still deeply Roman. Something that whispered rather than shouted.

So, he made a simple request to his private chef:

“Fammi una carbonara… più elegante.”

And thus, Pasta alla Papalina,literally Papal~Way Pasta, was born.

It was never meant to be a dish for the masses. It was tailored, bespoke, quietly divine. But word got out (as it always does in Rome), and what began as a private papal indulgence slowly found its way into the city’s trattorie, and from there, to the heart of Roman culinary tradition.

RE:PURPOSE
this Sunday 12PM 🏛️ Bookings via Avia Website

Rooted in the tradition of cucina povera, the humble origins of Roman cuisine, this re:purpose will pay tribute to the inventiveness of those who created timeless dishes from what little they had. From tripe to stale bread, bruised vegetables to forgotten ends, what was once waste becomes a source of creativity and connection.

Roman food was never about luxury it was born from cucina povera, a kitchen of necessity, creativity, and no waste.

Just like Cicero, Pizza alla Pala has deep roots in Ciociaria, where it began as rustic oval baked in communal wood~fired ovens.
Bakers needed a way to use up excess high hydrated bread dough. Instead of wasting it, they would flatten it, season it simply, and bake it directly on the stone floor of the oven.
🏺
Over time, they began topping the dough with lard & potatoes or tomato & oil before baking, turning it into an early version of pizza alla pala, long before it became trendy in Rome.
The Roman version refined it, but the soul of the dish was born in Ciociarian Countryside Bakeries.

In 1914, a Roman restaurateur named Alfredo Di Lelio created fettuccine tossed with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano to help his wife regain strength after giving birth.
It was a simple, rich, comforting dish.

We made a coastal version of this nostalgic pasta, something that reminds us of the crowded Anzio Beach at the end of Summer.

What people say

Roman restaurants are known for their delicious and authentic cuisine, and Cicerone Cucina Romana on Bourke Street in Sydney is no exception. Their menu boasts a variety of dishes that showcase the unique flavors of Rome. One standout dish is the Bread, Butter & Anchovy, which features wood-oven "Cupolone" bread with Armatore anchovy, truffle, and honey butter. The use of anchovies is a classic Roman touch that adds depth to the dish.

Another must-try item on their menu is the Topinambur Pizza, which includes Jerusalem artichoke veloutè, mushrooms, prosciutto, olive dust & prosciutto. This pizza showcases the nutty and sweet flavor of Jerusalem artichokes, which are a good source of iron.

For dessert, Cicerone Cucina Romana offers a unique twist on a classic Roman pasta dish with their Cacio & Pepe Gelato. Made with Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, and honey, this gelato is available at all three locations (Mapo Bondi, Mapo Newtown & Cicerone Surry Hills).

Lastly, their Heirloom Tomatoes dish with Stracciatella cheese and Salsa Verde is another standout option that can be enjoyed without anchovies for those who prefer it. With its retro 1997/98 "AS ROMA" jersey decor adding to the ambiance of the restaurant, Cicerone Cucina Romana offers an authentic Roman dining experience in Sydney that should not be missed.
