Aldo Zilli launches a 'name your price' menu in aid of earthquake

Diners can decide how much they pay for their meal at Aldo Zilli's flagship restaurant, Signor Zilli (in London). The acclaimed Italian Chef Aldo Zilli was shocked to the core by last month’s tragic Italian earthquake in his native region, Abruzzo. Keen to do something to help the people of Abruzzo, the top chef is launching a menu at Signor Zilli, where a portion of the proceeds go directly to the Abruzzo Earthquake Fund. The menu celebrates the cuisine of Abruzzo, with a novel twist that lets diners pay exactly what they like for their food.

At a time when the world needs to be reminded about this beautiful region in Italy, Aldo has created a delicious three course menu comprising the delicious ingredients found there. Starters include Crostini Abruzzesi, Timballo Teramano (a Pancake Tian with Baby Pork Meatballs, Tomato and Parmesan Gratin), and Zuppa Di Lenticchie Aquilana (Mixed Pulse Soup). Mains from the region include Ravioli di Coniglio della Nonna (Rabbit Ravioli), Agnello Cacio e Uova (Rosemary Garlic Wine and Lamb Stew) and Capellini Scamora Pescarese (Angel Hair Pasta with Smoked Abruzzo Mozarella and Roasted Peppers). Diners can round off their  Abruzzi feast with Chocolate Covered Almond Cake and White Chocolate Ice Cream marinated with Limoncello and served with Watermelon.  

Aldo is deeply committed to the earthquake fund and is already planning several trips to the region, to help people who have lost loved ones and have been deprived of basic amenities. Head down to Signor Zilli and pay what you like for your meal in aid of the Abruzzo Earthquake Fund. Diners are advised to book early to avoid disappointment and to quote ‘Abruzzo menu’ when reserving a table.
