Dishes mentioned
Brodo di Fagiano
A warm welcome from the kitchen, just a pheasant broth to drink. Classic start — I have Gocciole and pheasant broth for breakfast every morning. Very delicate, perfect for this evening with the snow outside.
Pane al Carbone Vegetale con Mousse di Cavolfiore e Maionese alla Curcuma
Not the usual boring cauliflower — the touch of turmeric is perfect. The joy of tasting Normandy butter again, all the opulence of the butter enhanced even more by this onion and truffle. A wonder.
Bonbon di Cervo
Fried to perfection, very soft inside, a nice decisive flavour but not strong. We're getting there, we're getting there.
Mini Taco al Pomodoro con Battuta di Capriolo e Maionese ai Frutti Rossi
Look how beautiful this mini taco is — who do you have in the staff, an Oompa Loompa? How do you make a taco like this? The only flaw is that it's mini — I'll have a taco full of venison meat off-camera, I love it. Sorry to you, deer listeners.
Bignet di Bacon con Maionese al Bacon e Bacon Croccante
I could even not taste it — this is good on trust. This is better than the mini taco, and I've told you everything.
