Fast becoming a place noted for their uncommon pastas, I have recently discovered a new one I like a lot (haha - as though it isn’t already hard enough deciding which pasta to have when I’m there 😆).
Proving stiff competition to my two faves: the lemony-bright “Spanner Crab Spagetti” and the oxymoronically simple but decadent “Mafaldine Cacio e Pepe” was this “Spicy Rigatoni” ($26++). Yes, I had shared all three at one go with my food-mad friends that night. And mind you, that was only “Dinner Part 1”.
Back to the dish. Generous in girth, the al dente pasta tubes came coated in a seductively spicy tomato-based sauce tangled with bits of housemade fennel sausage that went everywhere (think sand in swimsuit at the beach 😜). Layering on more complexity was sexy smoked ricotta. As you can probably imagine, this was a total tantaliser on the tastebuds. Which makes it another must-try at “Caffe Fernet” in my book.
