Indulge in our artisanal ravioli, crafted from scratch and filled with a blend of rich ricotta and freshly grated Parmesan. Each delicate pasta pocket is perfectly cooked and lovingly tossed in a decadent burnt butter sauce, infused with aromatic sage. The nutty, caramelized notes of the butter complement the savory filling, while crispy sage leaves add a delightful crunch. Finished with a hint of grated lemon zest, this dish is a celebration of comforting flavours and timeless Italian tradition. Enjoy a plateful of pure bliss!

Pair with the Billanook Chardonnay. Its creamy texture and notes of butter and vanilla beautifully complement the richness of the sauce. Alternatively, The Billanook Sauvignon Blanc offers a crisp acidity that can balance the dish while enhancing the sage's herbal notes.

Book now for Sunday lunch at Al Dente Kitchen Billanook Estate. Our traditional wood-fired pizza is a perfect blend of simplicity and flavour. Hand-stretched dough is topped with a rich San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves. Baked in a rustic wood-fired oven at high heat, the pizza develops a perfectly charred, crispy crust with a slight chew, while the toppings meld into a harmonious burst of freshness and smokiness. Finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, this pizza is a true homage to the classic Neapolitan style. Paired with a glass of Nebbiolo is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

IT Support and IT Services - what's the difference and why you need IT Services, and not just IT Support...

IT Support and IT Services are related but distinct aspects of managing and maintaining your IT environment.

IT Support addresses and resolves specific issues, incidents, or problems that end-users typically encounter with their computers, servers, networks, and applications. IT Support is, by its very nature, 'reactive' in that it responds to issues as they arise.
IT Support is your helpdesk, your first responder, and / or your on-call support and it is fast becoming a commodity - everyone can do it (well almost everyone) who has the time and access to web search. 😲

IT Services however encompass a much broader range of activities and are designed to proactively manage a business's entire IT environment to ensure its smooth and efficient operation.
IT Services involve planning, designing, implementing, and managing IT solutions that align with your business's strategic objectives. This includes services such as network infrastructure, cloud computing, cybersecurity, vendor management, disaster recovery and data management, just to name a few.
Importantly, IT Services also includes ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and the optimisation of IT systems to prevent issues and improve overall performance. 😎

In summary, IT Support is, and should only be, the relatively small 'reactive' part of IT Services which must then be proactive AND strategic.

It is IT Services which we provide to our customers, aiming to ensure the long-term success of their IT and, ultimately, their business.
😁
