Solaire Resort Entertainment City Unveils Isole, a Celebration of Sicily and Sardinia

Delicate Amberjack Carpaccio with Fennel and Pine Nuts

From Italy’s Island Streets to Finestra’s Fine Dining Table: Chef Andrea Spagoni Elevates Southern Italy’s Authentic Coastal Flavors

(WorldFrontNews Editorial):- Manila, Luzon Aug 19, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – This season, Finestra at Solaire Resort Entertainment City brings the culinary traditions of Italy’s islands to the table through Isole, the newest chapter of its year-long A Taste Across Italy series. Expertly curated by Finestra’s Italian chef Andrea Spagoni, the three-course sharing experience celebrates the honest flavors of the country’s two largest islands, elevating beloved regional and street food traditions through refined techniques and contemporary craftsmanship.

The experience begins with a trio of antipasti that captures the vibrant coastal character of southern Italy. Delicate amberjack Carpaccio is paired with fennel and pine nuts, while Caponata–a beloved island staple–is reimagined atop crispy toast with king red prawn and spicy jam. Completing the appetizer course is Panelle, the iconic chickpea fritter often enjoyed from neighborhood street vendors, enhanced with parsley emulsion and fried capers, while preserving the comforting familiarity that has made it a local favorite.

At the heart of the experience is artisanal Fregola with clams, a unique handcrafted pasta specialty that reflects the islands’ enduring connection to the sea through briny seafood flavors and the savory depth of Bottarga. Alongside it, wood-fired roasted lamb rack and pork belly pay tribute to centuries of pastoral tradition, complemented by seasonal fava beans and zucchini salad that embody the simplicity, freshness, and rustic elegance of the Italian countryside.

To finish, dessert pays homage to Seadas, a rustic pastry originating from pastoral communities where sheep’s milk cheese and honey have long been local staples. At Finestra, the beloved dessert is elevated with pecorino mousse and honey glaze, offering a sophisticated interpretation and a delicate balance of sweet and savory that lingers long after the final bite.

Set against Finestra’s warm interiors, elegant ambiance, and sweeping sunset views, Isole offers more than a meal–it is an invitation to slow down and savor Italy’s island traditions. Every course invites conversation, discovery, and the communal spirit that defines Italian dining, where meals are never rushed and every dish becomes a lasting memory.

Designed for two or more guests, Isole embraces one of Italy’s most treasured traditions: sharing. Whether for an intimate dinner or a romantic evening over handcrafted cuisine and fine wine, Solaire Resort Entertainment City invites guests to experience a Taste Across Italy at Finestra– where exceptional flavors and meaningful moments come together.
