Vicolo is a Business Member of The Coeliac Society and have a large variety of Gluten Free Meals available upon request. This new eatery is bringing something special to the Moonee Ponds area, with their creative, healthy and tender risottos being the main draw card; boasting a selection of more than 20 combinations. (Vicolo offers gluten free pasta, entrees, main courses and desserts and all of their risottos are gluten free!)
Start with a few entrees to share like the ‘Antipasto: offering a selection of Italian delicacies served with crusty ciabatta bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar; the 'olive saltate: pan tossed oven dried olives with chilli, garlic and fresh herbs'; and the simply divine 'cozze primavera; mussels tossed in a white wine, fresh tomato and garlic brodo served with crusty ciabatta bread'.
Then (after salivating over the extensive menu) dig into a moist risotto like the ‘risotto alla zucca: roasted butternut pumpkin with parma ham and baby spinach.' If you can fit it in the ‘marinated lamb served warm over a salad of baby spinach, roast pumpkin, fetta, black olives and tomatoes' its well worth it as it is a dish so tender and flavoursome, it melts in the mouth.
