Prosciutto Stagionato 22 Mesi
This prosciutto aged 22 months is incredibly soft and flavorful, not dry at all despite the long aging. The salt balance is perfect. I could eat this forever — it's so good I even ordered it as dessert once. The portion is generous, perfect with good bread and a glass of wine.
Terrina di Fegatini con Riduzione di Vinsanto e Sale Maldon
This is a classic Florentine dish and they do it really well here. The fegatini is creamy, delicate — not overpowering at all, very elegant. You spread it on toasted bread and enjoy. It has a slight sweetness from the Vinsanto reduction and the Maldon salt gives it a nice crunch. I don't usually eat fegatini but this is amazing, I want more.
Tagliolini Freschi con Burro di Montagna, Tartufo Fresco e Parmigiano
The smell of truffle is incredible, drives you crazy. The tagliolini are perfectly cooked, the butter cream is made with high-quality mountain butter, and the truffle has both aroma and flavor. This is a dish you must order if you come here. Creamy, rich, absolutely delicious. I could eat this slowly and savor every bite.
Risotto Riso Pianone Nano, Zucca Gialla, Melograno e Capriolo
This risotto surprised me in a positive way. The flavors are bold and direct, really hitting you. The pumpkin adds sweetness to balance, the pomegranate gives acidity, and the rice is cooked perfectly. But the real surprise is the venison hidden under the rice — it's like a bomb of flavor. A beautiful play of contrasts and balance. Very seasonal, so it might not always be available.
Plum Cake con Banana e Marmellata, Crema di Cioccolato e Crema di Yogurt and Lime
I don't usually like banana desserts but this plum cake is moist inside, not dry at all. The chocolate cream is very flavorful and the yogurt cream with lime adds a nice acidity that balances everything. It's an interesting combination.
