I do love Baduzzi, after 3 visits I still want to back for more....of just about everything. Meatballs are star but then everything else is just a tempting & delectable. It’s run by the same team as The Grove so they know exactly what they are doing & it the most welcome addition to Wynyard Quarter.
Step in through the bright red door, settle in & enjoy!
Baduzzi is the Sicilian word for meatballs & there are some very tasty morsels to choose from. Crayfish meatballs with braised chickpeas, heritage tomato & basil or grilled wagyu meatballs with onion gravy, salsa verde & cannellini beans or wild red deer meatballs with portabello mushroom & cauliflower crema. The other Monday night we had the crayfish & wagyu & were not disappointed....these are melt in the mouth delicious.
Much as I love the meatballs I love the past even more! My special favourite the saffron gnocchi with goats curd, burnt butter, almonds & marjoram. What’s not to love about pasta & burnt butter, well actually anything with burnt butter! Add to that the sharp goats cheese & I am in heaven. We also had the rabbit ravioli, plump ravioli packed with rabbit meat are rich & comforting.
We also tried the insalata of white beans, squid, lemon juice & parsley. Perfectly grilled squid & wonderfully bright & fresh salad.
And then there are desserts! I have had the tiramisu on a previous visit...just have it. Rich & creamy...No matter how full you think you are you will thank me...I promise! The chocolate torta caprese with vanilla ice cream is rich, dark & decadent. Served warm with an ooey gooey centre if you love chocolate you will adore this dessert!
Baduzzi from beginning to end is just a delight!
