Nicola's Portofino menu

We're booking a HUGE table at Nicola's Portofino soon, so they've offered us a special set menu to make sure we all get fed at the same time... I don't usually post menus up here, as I don't have them, but I thought I would with this one, seeing as I have to send it someone. It gives you a taste of what they can make, though his is NOT their full range.

Starters
Uova capricciose (egg mayonnaise topped with salmon and prawns)
Prosciutto con melone (parma ham wit melon)
Pennete al pesto com pomodorini (v) (pasta quills with basil and pinenut dressing and cherry tomatoes)
Melone con lamponi (v) (melon fan with raspberry coulis
Zuppa di verdure (v) (vegetable soup)

Mains
Salmone al finocchietto (salmon with fennel butter)
Sovrana di pollo alla crema e funghi (Breast of chicken with cream and mushroom sauce)
Meaglioni di capriolo all fragola (oops, English translation lost, venison in strawberry sauce I think)
Grilled sirloin steak, garnished with grilled mushrooms and tomato
Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino (v) (spaghetti with olive oil, garlic and chilli pepper)
