Principe Prosciutto Bring Slice Of Italy To Sydney

To celebrate the arrival of the original Prosciutto di San Daniele on Australian shores, Principe has partnered with acclaimed dining destination Hinchcliff House to introduce an exclusive Aperitivo Hour menu, offering a fresh slice of Italy through decadent bites and cocktails.

Inspired by Principe’s origins in San Daniele del Friuli, an Italian region located between the sea and the mountains, the limited-time menu puts a modern Australian spin on Italy’s favourite pre-dinner ritual with the finest Italian prosciutto at the centre of every delicious pairing. Spanning the four venues of Hinchcliff House - pasta bar and deli Bar Mammoni, rule-bending Italian-Asian spot Lana, Italian restaurant Grana and cocktail bar Apollonia - guests can expect a showcase of craftsmanship, creativity and indulgent, summer-ready Italian cuisine.

At the heart of the menu sits the Principe Negroni, a first-of-its-kind twist on Hinchcliff House’s most-loved cocktail that sees Widge’s Gin fat-washed with Prosciutto di San Daniele to create a smooth, umami-rich take on a true Italian icon, complete with a cured prosciutto garnish.

Alongside the savoury Negroni, which will be available across all venues, Bar Mammoni and Apollonia will also be serving up the Melone Spritz, inspired by the classic rockmelon-and-prosciutto pairing, and the Monte Highball, matched with prosciutto butter and fig crostini for a salty-sweet finish. Each pour has been crafted to hero flavours that traditionally complement the authentic flavours of Principe Prosciutto di San Daniele.

For those feeling peckish, each of Hinchcliff House’s four venues will also offer an array of prosciutto-forward bites, from the indulgent to the refined. At Lana, the menu reaches luxe new heights with the Principe Prosciutto Trolley - a theatrical tableside moment featuring Prosciutto di San Daniele served with warm Saltbush focaccia and whipped ssamjang butter. Bar Mammoni will lean into street-style Italian snacking with Principe bao sandos, porcini arancini and prosciutto-studded scacchiata, while Grana and Apollonia will deliver indulgence with Raviolo Fritto layered with truffle honey, quattro formaggio and Principe prosciutto.

The Principe Aperitivo Hour menu will be available across all four levels of Hinchcliff House - from Bar Mammoni to Grana, Apollonia and Lana - until Sunday 14 December 2025.
