Colombo’s finest Italian restaurant, The Bay Leaf kicks off the New Year with the alluring flavours and aromas of Rome in a special promotion from 15 to 31 January, where a range of culinary delicacies from the different regions of Rome take pride of place.
The appetising signature dishes which launch the promo are Insalata Di Prosciutto (mixed green lettuce with fresh Mozzarella, tomato, grilled vegetables and parma ham with an Italian dressing), Pasta E Faglioli (Roman chickpea soup & pasta) and Pollo Alla Romana (chicken medallions panfried with parma ham, parmesan cheese, sage, mushrooms and white wine).
Added to this are Fettuccine con Manzo e Funghi (home made fresh pasta with shredded beef, mushrooms, ham, fresh herbs and a touch of cream), Filetto di Manzo del Buon Gustaio (pan-fried beef tenderloin wrapped with parma ham, gratin with tomato, mozzarella and served with a red wine sauce) and Cartoccio Di Pesci (oven baked red mullet in aluminum foil, with prawns, black olives, tomato, herbs and white wine)
Together with this is also the Pizza of the Month – ‘Piza alla BayLeaf’ – with its whopping share of mozarella, garlic, anchovies, tomatoes and black olives.
Baskets of fresh vegetables from the salubrious gardens of Nuwara Eliya continue to be a special feature at the Bay Leaf on Saturday and Sundays. Among the fare offered are Baby Potatoes, Broccoli, Celery, Cherry Tomatoes, Chow Chow, Ice Burg Lettuce, Rhubarb, Greenhouse Tomatoes and Turnips to name a few. Available as hampers in baskets (small, medium and large), they can be coupled with breads, pastas and honey. Orders can be placed for hampers to be made up at the beginning of the week in weights and quantities of the customer’s choice. The vegetables can also be purchased by weight without the option of a hamper. |
