For those unfamiliar with Six by Nico, it’s a six-weekly affordable tasting menu concept put together by chef Nico Simone. Six by Nico Canary Wharf has revealed their latest menu theme, which will pay homage to Ancient Rome from Wednesday 16th March to Sunday, April 24th. Hours have been spent reading the ‘Apicius’ or ‘De re culinaria’, coined the world’s oldest cookbook, to create a historically adapted menu. The menu will transport diners to the heyday of Roman Londinium with offerings inspired by ancient traditions brought to life through modern techniques.

Dishes include;

1. Course I – Cacio e Pepe – Crispy Pasta, Black Pepper & Parmesan Royale,

2. Course II – From Eggs to Nuts – White Asparagus, Crispy Duck Egg, Hazelnut & Brown Butter;

3. Course III – Cavolo Hispi Arrostito – Roasted Hispi Cabbage, Cavatelli Pasta, Pickled Chanterelle Mushrooms, Truffle Foam & Pecorino Sardo,

4. Course IV – Bay of Naples – Pompeii, Sole, Smoked Mussel, Lovage, White Turnip & Mussel Cream,

5. Course V – The Grand Feast of AD14 – Belly of Pork Fillet, Turned Rib, Cured Meat, Fennel & Toasted Fennel Seed, Date & Apple Compote, Braised Fennel.

The Romans referred to their dessert course as ‘mensa secunda’, or ‘second meal’. To round off Six by Nico’s Ancient Rome feast, guests will have the chance to indulge in Course VI – Honey Parfait, Ricotta Cheese Mousse, Preserved Quince, Fizzy Muscat Grape, Pear & Citrus, Honey Tuile.

The ‘Ancient Rome’ menu is priced at £37 per person, with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine and specialist drinks pairing for an additional £33. As ever, there is a vegetarian alternative available for every course, as well as snack sides available from £8.
