How this dish has escaped Italian restaurant menus all over the world astounds me. In Perth, Western Australia, at neighbourhood pizzeria Amore Mio, classic Sardinian food is proudly celebrated.
In this buzzy, pitch-perfect Sydney pizzeria run by Executive Chef Luke Powell lies a dish that will surprise and delight pizza lovers.
I haven’t been to Sardinia yet, but I have certainly been enjoying the unique, often rustic flavours of it’s wonderful cuisine wherever I can find it. Luckily, here in Sydney, we have one of its very finest exponents in chef Giovanni Pilu. His two-hatted beachside restaurant, Pilu, is a temple of fine Sardinian cuisine. Just a stone’s throw away however, lies his more relaxed but no less excellent restaurant, AcquaFresca, which turns out easy-going Sardinian classics cooked with the same outstanding attention to produce and fine cooking.

I knew this would be a different beast as the bottarga and the sea urchin came as two sauces, both with different textures and density. Creamy and luscious. Mixing them through the pasta created a bomb of umami. Tasting of the sea, of course, but not overpoweringly. A lovingly made and creative dish and a spectacular way to showcase two of the seas most exotic ingredients. I’ll be back for more of this.
