Changes to menu at Italian

I Due Vulcani in The Crescent complex also added a goats cheese and caramelised onion bruschetta and a fiery chicken dish to its offering.
Diners can tuck into a risotto served in a white wine sauce with parsley, with a Funghi option of mushrooms, truffle oil and parmesan flakes, or a Mare version with mussels, squid, prawns and lemon juice.

“Furthermore we introducing some from Southern Italy.”
Other fresh additions include a Pizza Truffolina with black truffle, mushrooms, parmesan cheese and rocket, and a Pollo Picante of grilled chicken breast served in a chorizo tomato sauce, with cherry tomatoes and leek.
The eatery also added a splash of floral colour with some planters around its outdoor seating area.
I Due Vulcani opened in March 2018 and is run by husband and wife duo Francesco Canfarotta and Federica Intravaia, and Agostino Panariello.

The Saturday event is currently free but booking is required.
The eatery includes a bar and lounge area with sofas, and hanging plant furnishings adorn the ceiling and walls.
