Etna, first quarter 2025

Etna, Duxton Road

It's been a couple of years since we were last here at Etna (, 十一).

Etna, angus beef carpaccio, Swiss brown mushrooms, shaved black truffle and parmesan cheese

Their Angus beef carpaccio was moreish - salted umami and earthiness coming from thin slices of brown mushroom and shaven Parmigiano Reggiano. Layered on, were some shaven black truffle. The majority of the truffle flavour came from the oil though. There's something crunchy in there...maybe salt flakes. One of the more memorable carpaccio we've had in a while.

Etna, pizza umbricella

Pizza umbricella - topped with mozzarella, stracciatella, prosciutto cotto and shaven black truffle.

Etna, pizza umbricella

The pie was loaded with ingredients. Plenty of ham and milky richness from the cheeses. Crust couldn't hold up with the weight of toppings. Cornicione was a bit dense. But otherwise, not bad.

Etna, blueberry risotto, gorgonzola, marinated shallots & crispy breadcrumbs

Special of the week was a blueberry risotto; with a light Gorgonzola sauce, marinated shallots and breadcrumbs. Love how much blueberry was infused into the rice with just a mild sweetness and a bit of berry tanginess while keeping it savoury as well. 👍🏼

Etna, pistachio tiramisu

Pistachio tiramisu to end.
