After the huge success of its previous parmesan wheel events, refined Italian eatery Cucinetta has brought back its famous cheese wheel. Once again, the team is serving the traditional meal of fettuccine cacio e pepe, a simple yet sophisticated traditional pasta dish made with quality cheese and lashings of pepper. Served out of a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano (as all pasta should be served), it’s a cheese-on-cheese affair.
The last cheese wheel event the restaurant ran was in part a celebration of Cucinetta's ten-year anniversary milestone. But in our opinion, no raison d'etre is needed because who doesn't love a cheese wheel? To get your share of the marvelous cheese-sauced ribbons, all you need to do is make a booking and head down to Cucinetta's dining room in South Yarra on your chosen date. The wheel will be up and running January 31.
A serving costs $36.90 per head and it's available on the menu over lunch from 12pm to 3pm, and over dinner on the weekends from 5pm until the restaurant closes.
