Is your tagliatelle just firm? The pannacotta — does it wobble nicely? And do those cherry tomatoes pop in your mouth, fresh like a spring morning? A great Italian restaurant is less about what’s on the menu than what hits the plate, and Enzo’s has been mastering that art for two decades.
These days it’s on the edge of the parklands in a historic converted pub, down from its original rustic digs, but the service is still excellent and the atmosphere warmed by the hum of happy diners filling their bellies, and the occasional swirl of flame visible through the glass-walled kitchen.
Enzo’s taste of Italy comes via SA’s outstanding local produce. For antipasti there’s cherry tomatoes nestled with mozzarella and prosciutto, or Port Lincoln sardines, Calabrese style. Pastas run through linguini with blue swimmer crab to beef-stuffed ravioli, and you may find a rabbit lasagne as well.
There’s an award-winning Angus fillet sizzling with mushrooms, truffle brandy, and cream; SA king prawns flamed in brandy; deep-fried local calamari.
A (wobbly) pannacotta with Baileys heads a list of traditional desserts including gelato and tiramisu, while the wine list is extensive and ranges from reasonably priced Italian drops to Penfolds Grange.
