Experience an Exciting New Dish: Smoked Mentaiko Carbonara at CASCINA

Unveiling the New Smoked Mentaiko Carbonara

In a vibrant display of culinary artistry, Cheese Tavern CASCINA presents a delightful new dish for February— the Smoked Mentaiko Carbonara. This restaurant, known for its delectable cheese-infused Italian offerings, has taken its signature "Flame Carbonara" to new heights by incorporating locally sourced, instant-smoked mentaiko from Hakata. This limited-time menu item merges the excitement of live cooking with the rich, smoky aroma of carefully prepared mentaiko, creating an extraordinary pasta experience that diners can’t afford to miss.

A Unique Culinary Experience

One of CASCINA's hallmark experiences is the preparation of their famous "Flame Pasta," where patrons witness the chef flambéing cheese to perfection right at the table. The Smoked Mentaiko Carbonara takes this experience one step further, inviting guests to indulge in a dramatic performance.

The dish features pecorino romano cheese, a hard Italian cheese, which is melted to a gooey richness and combined with the al dente pasta. As the flames extinguish, fresh pasta is added, tossed vigorously in the cheese, and plated beautifully. The result is a creamy, decadent carbonara elevated by the bold flavors of smoky fish roe—an unforgettable treat for both the eyes and palate.
