We were in Adelaide for a short break. Adelaide Fringe Festival buzzing people, performers everywhere. Our hotel next door to Amalfi, when we got here during the week. My wife was having a craving for chilli mussels. But due to the Fringe, on Fridays and...Saturdays, Amalfi (and most restaurants in the Adelaide area) have a special Fringe streamlined menu. Unfortunately no chilli mussels 😢.
We thought the food was going to be mass produced, churned out, not so good food.
We were all surprised, when the food came out.
Our friend Louie and I started eating our ragù pasta.
The flavours, the taste, the texture, the use of real beef meat (instead of mince and little pieces of beef meat, experienced at other restaurants over the years) Louie and I being of Italian heritage had child hood memories flooding back of nonna’s and aunties home cooking, as they say cooking with love.
Louie’s wife had a pasta Neapolitan, same as our experience with the ragù. Flavours intense & more than satisfactory.
My wife ordered the Amalfi pasta. The flavours were to die for. The cream sauce had a lovely amount of chilli, not too hot, hotter than black pepper but not burn your mouth out. She commented that the fact normally with a white sauce can be heavy on the tummy.
In actual fact we all didn’t feel bloated or uncomfortable.
Highly recommended a must in Adelaide Amalfi Pizzeria and Restaurant.More
