Menu

A real Italian meal means several courses; each course an experience in itself, but connected like chapters in a good book. Seafood is an important part of the Italian cuisine and one of Gregory's USPs.

Antipasti

Like his mom, Gregory believes the mood of the evening is set with the starters themselves, all light and scrumptious appetizers he whips up for his guests.

Salmone marinato and tartare di tonno con salsa allo yogurt

Minestre

The first course is selected from a variety of minestre: risotti, zuppe, as well as pasta dressed with the most varied, extravagant and delicious sauces.

Risotto agli Asparagi

Secondi

After setting the mood with a delicious primo, then comes the secondo. Gregory's specialties are always fresh and include a variety of fish and meat dishes.

Coniglio alla Mediterranea

Dolce

How can we forget the tiramisù, one of Italy best known desserts? Gregory delights his guests with a tiramisù in bicchiere con fragole fresche marinate which is enticingly sinful.

Quick Fix

Pressed for time? These dishes can be charmed by Gregory’s Golden Spoon at a bat of an eyelash … to let you enjoy that perfect Italian meal … yes … courses and all.
