Six by Nico Cardiff, the conceptual dining experience which rotates its creative menu every six weeks, has announced the details of its next innovative tasting menu ‘Amalfi Coast’. Cooking from 1 July-11 August this menu invites guests to embrace ‘La Dolce Vita’ – the sweet life, to escape the every day and enjoy every moment and will be available as a six-course menu, and for the first time ever as a four-course lunch option as well.
The tasting menu will take guests on a culinary adventure along the Amalfi Coast, a stunning stretch of coastline known for its breathtaking scenery, colourful architecture and of course, beautiful food and drink.
Taking inspiration from southern Italy’s most loved dishes, the new menu will take diners on a summer adventure and transport them to the postcard-perfect towns of Sorrento and Positano and the sweeping beaches of Capri. The six-course tasting menu, combines elements of both traditional and modern Italian cuisine to provide guests with a true exploration of the tastes of the Amalfi Coast’s flavourful history.

Espuma, Truffle, Mushroom Ragout

Course Five – Trio Of Pork

Course Six – Delizia Al Limone
Lemon Mousseline, Polenta Cake, Caramelised White Chocolate, Yoghurt Sorbet
For £42, guests can enjoy a taste of the Amalfi Coast, with a matching wine pairing from £75.
For the first time, Six by Nico is also launching a brand new four-course lunch menu available from just £20, perfect for those spontaneous summer lunches enjoyed with friends and family. Each diner will enjoy the amuse bouche and the dessert, with the option to choose between courses two or three for their starter, and four or five for their main. The lunch menu will be available mid-week, between 12-4pm, and guests will also have the opportunity to select a special wine pairing to accompany the lunch as well.
The menu will take diners on a journey along the Amalfi Coast with authentic dishes starting off with the elegant Pomodori Antichi, a green olive tapenade with salted lemon, lovage emulsion & whipped ricotta. Possibly most famous for its super fresh seafood found along the Amalfi, the fish course is one to savour; Pollock Nero comes with bagna cauda, zucchini with braised fennel and a basil dressing. For the dessert, guests can enjoy Six by Nico’s take on the classic Delizia al Limone featuring lemon mousseline, polenta cake, caramelised white chocolate, and yoghurt sorbet.
Andrew Temple, Chief Creative Officer commented on the menu: “We’re hoping to evoke that feeling of summer and transport our guests straight to Italy when they’re dining with us on the Amalfi Coast menu.
“It’s not hard to find inspiration from such a beautiful coastline as we look to transport our guests straight to the Mediterranean throughout the experience.”
Six by Nico caters to all dietary requirements, offering a full vegetarian menu for each new menu concept. Plus, customers can swap courses from the meat menu to the veggie alternative, if they wish. Other dietaries and certain allergens can also be catered to upon request, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the best possible dining experience.
