Bivacco

The must-try new dishes making Bivacco the summer go-to

Bivacco has long reigned as one of our favourite destinations for slow lunches or after-work drinks. The menu never fails to champion quality local ingredients with a contemporary Italian twist. The vibe is lively and unpretentious, making Bivacco an ideal spot for unforgettable summer gatherings with friends.

Sicilian Crudo

Though Bivacco remains a perennial favourite year-round, this season it unveils new summer dishes that perfectly capture the spirit and excitement we’ve come to love. Among the new menu additions are the seasonal standouts — crudo, prepared three ways. First, the wild-caught king fish crudo: eight succulent slices, served over crème fraiche, doused with shallots, red chilli, oregano, dill, and lemon. The sashimi-grade tuna crudo is dressed in olive oil with shallots and chilli and served on top of fresh avocado, while the Sicilian is a medley of four fish: tuna, kingfish, salmon, and snapper, served simply with a drizzle of lemon chilli oil, capers, and chives.
