He's joined by Roberto Mele of artisanal bakery MAMA, whose fermentation obsession runs deep enough to inoculate surplus croissants with koji spores. Together they're serving a menu that folds fine dining into the traditions of southern Italy: Roberto's grandmother's broad bean purée with MAMA 'focaccietta' and croissant miso; Tasmanian oysters with king oyster mushrooms; wild-shot fallow deer with capers and sardines. Between set courses, things get intimate, with limoncello foam served from a mould of Isabella's lips, which you must kiss and suck to consume.
