A close-up, elevated view captures a white ceramic plate containing a serving of rigatoni pasta, coated in an orange-red seafood sauce. The dish includes whole clams, some open, and irregular pieces of white seafood, likely monkfish. A small sprig of fresh mint garnishes the center. The plate rests on a checkered tablecloth featuring squares of light brown, white, and maroon. Partially visible in the background are two clear wine glasses, one containing red wine, and a small bundle of wine corks secured with cord, indicating a dining setting within a restaurant in the city of Lecce, Italy. No individuals are visible.
