400 Gradi - Brunswick

We recently had a Quynh's Cupcakery team meeting at 400 Gradi. 400 Gradi boasts being the number 1 pizza in the world. V keen.

No wine for us

Dranks

Fiori di Zucca

To start we got the Fiori di Zucca ($19). This was 3 Zucchini flowers stuffed with buffalo ricotta, spanner crab and chilli. This was a tad bland and I would've loved more crab flavour and a dipping sauce. 

Arancini

We also the Arancini ($16) which was crumbed rice balls, bolognese, peas, mozzarella and spicy rose sausage. This was a tad more flavoursome starter and the sauce was good.

Margherita Verace


Pizza time! The Margherita Verace ($22) had San Marzano tomato, buffalo mozzarella, basil and extra virgin olive oil. It wasn't as beautifully presented as the other pizzas we saw as the basil and mozarella wasn't evenly spread.The dough was lovely and so puffy on the end and I'm not even a crust person! It was a good pizza. Basic, but good. 

Pizzaaaaaaaaaaaa
Romano

We also got the Romano ($25). This was San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, Prosciutto Cotto. This was more flavoursome and the prosciutto paired well with Balsamic. It is a shame that you have to eat the pizza immediately because it loses its puffliness if it sits there too long. 


Spaghettini al Granchio

Next was the Spaghettini al Granchio ($36). This was Spaghettini with spanner crab meat, garlic, chilli, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, white wine and lobster bisque. OOFT this was pure seafood flavour. I really enjoyed this pasta and it had ample chunky pieces of crab. 

Yay parmesan and chilli oil
Pappardelle al Sugo D'agnello

We also tried the Pappardelle al Sugo D'agnello ($32). This was pappardelle with slow cooked lamb ragu. I had expected this to be super rich but it was basic and needed more parmesan and chilli oil to oomph up the flavours.

Tiramisu

For dessert, we got the Tiramisu ($16). It was a traditional serve of savoiardi biscuits soaked in coffee and marsala layered with mascarpone cream, topped with cocoa and icing sugar. I haven't had many traditional tiramisus and boy was this good. Great dessert to end the night!

Layout

Overall, we had an alright night at 400 Gradi. The pizza and pastas were good. While they didn't exceed my expectations, I still ate good flavoursome food. The Spaghettini was definitely the winner of the night! It was relatively busy but service wasn't lacking. If I want to eat some gourmet pizza and pasta, I'll probably try other avenues in the future.
