This is one establishment I find myself going to every time I drive down to Hunter V (Total Count YTD: 3). Located  in a tuscan inspired village (complete with sandstone buildings and all), this nice cafe restaurant is located in the heart of hunter valley wine region.

Al Fresco dinning at the front of the restaurant – perfect setting to just lay back and chill with a glass of wine and a hearty meal. They also serve Campos coffee…which never goes wrong!

PRAWN LINGUINE – The reason I find myself gravitating towards this restaurant every time I visit hunter valley. YES….it is THAT GOOD. The entire combination of succulent prawns, savory chunks of chorizo, roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh ooh-la-la herbs, EVOO, crunchy baby spinach and generous portion of parmesan slices comes together so well it creates “culinary fireworks” (for lack of a better term) in one’s mouth.

So, it’s hardly surprising that I am finding every reason to finish up the last of my bottles at home…
