Lingue Croccanti — Basil Pesto
Eataly
Eataly’s lingue croccanti are thin, tongue-shaped pizza dough baked until crisp. Choose the basil-pesto topping and share the long bread first, comparing its brittle edge with the tender potato cakes at Peppermill next.

Aloo Tikki
Peppermill
Potato cakes hold a spiced split-lentil filling, with chickpea masala, sweetened yoghurt and tamarind-coriander coulis around them. Split the order while the cakes are warm and taste the crisp potato with the tangy sauces before the raspberry-and-pistachio finish.
