We’ve carefully curated a menu of delicious cuisine that blends Italian authenticity with Trini sensibility. If you’re planning your first visit or simply wondering what to order next, here are the must-try dishes that define the Buzo experience.
1. Squid Ink Risotto with Prawns and Green Peppercorns
This one is for the true food lovers. Our Risotto al Nero di Seppia is made with silky, house-prepared squid ink and tender prawns. The richness of the risotto is perfectly balanced with the slight bite of green peppercorns.
What makes this dish stand out? It’s bold, beautiful, and brimming with flavour. It’s a dish that many locals come back for time and time again. If you’ve never tried squid ink before, this is the place to start.
2. Lasagna: A Classic Done Right
There’s comfort food, and then there’s Buzo’s homemade lasagna. Layered with slow-cooked bolognese, creamy béchamel, and sheets of pasta made fresh in-house, this dish is an ode to tradition. It’s hearty without being heavy. Every forkful is creamy, meaty, and absolutely satisfying. This dish has become a favourite for guests who crave delicious dishes with nostalgic charm.
3. Rigatoni with Pistachio and Crispy Pancetta
Looking for something indulgent yet unique? The Rigatoni con Crema di Pistacchi e Pancetta Croccante is a celebration of texture and taste. The creamy pistachio sauce is nutty and luxurious, while the pancetta adds just the right amount of salty crunch. It’s the kind of pasta that surprises people; rich, earthy, and elegant. For those in Trinidad who love to explore new flavours while still wanting comfort in their meal, this dish is the perfect fit.
4. Tiramisu: A Sweet Finish to Remember
No Italian dining experience is complete without dessert, and our Tiramisu does not disappoint. Made with layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone, and a dusting of cocoa, this dessert is light, creamy, and just sweet enough. It’s the perfect ending to your meal, especially when paired with an espresso or a glass of dessert wine from our cellar.
Ingredients That Tell a Story
What sets Buzo apart is not just the dishes themselves, but the care behind them. We source many of our ingredients from Italy; cheeses, cured meats, olive oil and pair them with fresh, seasonal ingredients from local producers in Trinidad.
This blend of imported excellence and local goodness allows us to create truly memorable cuisine dining experiences that reflect both worlds.
