Ave Mario has a choice of menus, including the menu of the month and a set pre-theatre menu.
The menu of the month offers the likes of homemade spaghetti in a creamy Parmigiano sauce with fried courgette and grated provolone, and homemade mafaldine with indulgent truffle and mascarpone cream, fresh black truffle from Italy.
The meal that sent Ave Mario to its viral status is the La Gran Carbonara, a homemade spaghetti alla chitarra served in a whole round of pecorino, crispy guanciale, egg yolk, and a lot of pepper.
