Tagliolini Prawns

At Io Osteria Italiana, we present our Tagliolini Prawns, a dish that embodies the essence of coastal Italian cuisine, where the bounty of the sea meets the artistry of handmade pasta.

Roots & Territory

Originating from the coastal regions of Italy, particularly the Amalfi Coast, this dish reflects the Italian tradition of combining fresh seafood with delicate pasta. The use of lobster bisque as a sauce is a nod to the rich culinary heritage of the Mediterranean, where seafood bisques are cherished for their depth of flavor.

Ingredients & Craft

Our Tagliolini Prawns features handmade tagliolini, a traditional Italian pasta known for its thin, ribbon-like strands. The prawns are sautéed to perfection, and the dish is enveloped in a rich lobster bisque sauce, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The bisque is crafted by simmering lobster shells with aromatic vegetables and herbs, resulting in a velvety sauce that complements the sweetness of the prawns.

Taste Experience

Each bite offers a symphony of flavors: the tender, succulent prawns meld with the creamy, slightly sweet lobster bisque, while the tagliolini provides a delicate texture that absorbs the sauce beautifully. The dish is finished with a touch of fresh herbs, adding a hint of brightness that balances the richness.

Curiosities & Culture

• In coastal Italian towns, seafood bisques are often prepared using the day's catch, making each batch unique and a true reflection of the sea's offerings.
• The tradition of pairing seafood with pasta dates back centuries in Italy, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between the land and the sea in Italian culinary culture.
