Fantastic Firsts, Chef Lino Scarallo, Palazzo Petrucci, Naples (Na)

I didn't know what to expect that afternoon at lunch as I sat down at the table.  Actually, that's not really true.  I did.  I knew that I by placing my appetite in the hands of Chef Lino Scarallo- and that's not a bad place to be.  Here's a look at the primi piatti portion of his Lino, fai tu tasting menu - Palazzo Petrucci, Naples.

First up,
Cannelloni bean soup.

Yes, a summer bean soup served with caromate prawns, pork snout, and lime.

Then,
A creamy creamy zucchini risotto,

a melt in your mouth scampi,

and crispy, crunchy pork toppings.

And them-

One of my favorite pasta formats - spaghettone!

Served with octopus and fresh spicy chili peppers.

Fantastic!
