DISCOVER EMILIA ROMAGNA AND ITS CAPITAL CITY BOLOGNA

This is not a dish designed to impress with volume or showiness. It’s a quiet nod to the past — to meals shared with relatives, to walks through damp woods in autumn, and to the understated pride of small towns like Soliera. And now, in our kitchen far from Emilia-Romagna, this modest dish speaks with a new accent — one shaped by distance, memory, and respect.

The tortelli are finished simply: crisped prosciutto scattered over the top, adding a savoury contrast to the richness of the filling. It’s a minimal but thoughtful combination — ingredients chosen with care, each one contributing texture and depth without overpowering the others.

Traditionally, the pasta dough is made with egg yolks, yielding a bright golden colour. But for this version, we took a different route. Not having the fresh porcini mushrooms typical of the region, we chose to incorporate porcini powder directly into the dough. The result is a chestnut-coloured pasta with a deep, woody aroma that gives the dish its own voice while staying true to its origins.

The filling is a delicate blend of walnuts, mascarpone, rocket, and Parmigiano Reggiano — creamy, earthy, slightly bitter, and rich with umami. It’s the kind of combination that doesn’t shout for attention, but rewards the palate with quiet complexity. Each ingredient plays a part in recalling the landscapes and memories of Emilia-Romagna’s countryside.

The dish is a tribute to our roots, a reflection of the culinary soul of the area between the rivers Reno and Panaro — the heart of Italy’s so-called Food Valley. This land is home to some of Italy’s most iconic products, and tortelli Soliera fits right into that heritage. Bringing it to Brisbane is our way of sharing a lesser-known yet deeply meaningful flavour from the region.

We’ve brought a childhood memory to the kitchen and turned it into a fuori menu dish: tortelli Soliera. This pasta originates from the small town of Soliera, nestled in the province of Modena in Emilia-Romagna. Rarely seen outside its hometown, it’s a regional treasure that speaks of quiet traditions and family tables.

There’s no pretence here. Just good bread, good oil, good vinegar, and tomatoes at their best. Simple, comforting, and deeply satisfying — exactly how it should be.

Over the top, we drizzle a beautiful extra virgin olive oil, grassy and peppery, followed by a splash of aged balsamic vinegar from Modena — rich, syrupy, and full of depth.
