A little more goes into this plate than meets the eye.
Our haddock is seared, wrapped in perilla leaf and served with a miso and honey reduction. The fragrant leaf adds another layer to the delicate fish, while the reduction brings a savoury sweetness to the dish.

There’s something about the contrast in this one.
Our avocado is chargrilled to bring out a light smokiness, then paired with blue prawn tartare for its delicate sweetness and fresh, clean flavour. Creamy, smoky and bright, with each element bringing something different to the plate.

Gnocchetti sardi is a traditional Sardinian pasta, named for its resemblance to small, ridged shells. It’s a staple of the island’s cooking, where simple handmade pasta is often paired with ingredients that let the flavours of the region shine.
Here, we pair ours with mussels and a bergamot ragù, bringing together the savoury depth of the sea with a bright citrus note.

Over the years, we’ve had the joy of being part of so many special moments.
Birthday candles blown out, anniversaries celebrated, teams gathered around the table, and families coming together over a meal. Some occasions are big, some are simple, but each one leaves a little memory behind.
If you’re looking for a place to gather your favourite people, we’d be happy to make Buko Nero your space for the occasion. Drop us a message to find out more about hosting your next event with us.

Named after the Italian word for “buttons”, bottoni is a pasta known for its small, rounded shape and generous filling. Traditionally made to hold a rich filling within its folds, each piece is shaped with care to create that distinctive button-like form.
Our bottoni is made by hand around a creamy ricotta filling, then tossed in butter scented with sage. The sauce adds just enough richness, while the herbs bring a fragrant finish that lets the filling stay at the heart of every bite.

With a delicate sweetness and golden edge from the pan, our Seared Hokkaido Scallops is a dish you won’t want to miss. Cauliflower purée adds a smooth, mellow sweetness, while truffle jus brings a deeper, earthy finish that ties the whole plate together.
