Assagini is a kind of sharing concept,
00:02
Italian sharing concept,
00:04
where we prepare some pasta or some pizza as well.
00:07
Pizza is different kind of pizza,
00:09
it's in between pizza and pizza Napoletana.
00:12
So it's the same dough, the pizza,
00:14
but make it with different kind of flour.
00:16
As well, to start with, you can have some fritti,
00:20
some side dishes as well,
00:22
some different kind of charcuterie,
00:26
like speck, like parma ham as well.
00:29
We suggest to have more than one dishes,
00:33
because the portion is going to be a little bit smaller than usual.
00:36
It's going to be 100 grams of pasta, really still filling,
00:38
but in this case you can try all different kind of pasta or pizza that we propose.
00:47
As well, we've got a lot of different kind of options,
00:50
like vegetarian or vegan as well,
00:53
because some pasta can be vegan.
00:55
The pasta is going to be all fresh,
00:59
some of the pasta make it without egg,
01:01
so it's going to be eggless,
01:03
it's going to be fine with the vegan option,
01:06
and as well some of the sauces are going to be the same.
01:09
Even for the pizza, we're going to have a couple of vegan,
01:13
and four or six different vegetarian options as well.
01:18
All this kind of pizza and the pasta,
01:21
we're pairing with West Brewery beer,
01:24
which is a brewery here in Glasgow.
01:31
We tasted a lot of different kinds of breweries,
01:37
but to match our menu, we chose West Brewery.
01:44
We got only eight beers from them,
01:48
over the 40 different beers that go in the portfolio.
01:53
We're going to change every season,
01:56
it's going to be seasonally,
01:58
for the food and the beers as well.
02:01
Each dish is paired with a different kind of beer.
02:05
We're going to have the Riccardo di Carbonara,
02:08
it's paired with the Mungo,
02:10
so it's a nice lager, simple, not too spicy, not too fruity.
02:17
Then we go, for example, with the vegan option,
02:19
with the Orecchiette Verdi,
02:21
something lemony as well,
02:23
we got the Velo Lemon from West Brewery.
02:26
That's why we got a non-alcoholic option,
02:30
or a low-alcohol option for West Brewery.
