Manchester’s oldest Italian restaurant has revamped its Sunday offering with the launch of its new roast menu.
Don Giovanni’s new menu is a traditional affair, including everything you’d expect on a Sunday Roast plate, with a little Italian twist.
Meaty options include slow-cooked lamb shoulder, chicken supreme or topside of beef.
For non-meat-eaters there’s mushroom wellington – garlic and herby mushrooms wrapped in thick shortcrust pastry – which can be adapted for vegans or vegetarians.
All roasts come served with caramelised parsnips and carrots, tender stem broccoli and a cheesy cauliflower gratin, which can be made with soy milk and vegan mozzarella for those who don’t eat dairy.
Giant Yorkshire puddings come heaped in the middle of the table along with a large jug of gravy. And if, like me, you always need more gravy on your roast, simply ask the servers who will bring you a refill.
Desserts include the Italian classic, tiramisu, made fresh in-house by their Italian dessert chefs. Homemade Savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers) are dipped in espresso then layered with a creamy mascarpone mousse and dusting of chocolate.
If you fancy something a bit more British, opt for chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream, or sticky toffee pudding, which is topped sugar-coated walnuts and drizzled in a warm toffee sauce.
Still keeping it real for the vegans out there, Don Giovanni make their own vegan panna cotta topped with a tart berry compote.
For those of you who prefer to stay at home at the moment, you needn’t miss out as Don Giovanni is also delivering Sunday Roasts.
