Parmigiana di Fiori di Zucca
I started with a parmigiana di fiori di zucca in the pan — crunchy, creamy, I had never eaten it before and it's becoming my favorite.
Mini Tris di Bao Napoletani
Then a mini trio of Neapolitan bao: one with genovese, one with sausages and friarielli, and the other with ragù. The genovese one was super pulled with shreds of meat — the best. The ragù is very flavorful and super concentrated. The bao melts in your mouth.
Genovese Super Tirata
Let's move on to the first courses: sua maestà genovese super pulled, cooked in milk. Look how caramelized it is. Genovese overcooked, super brown, super loaded with meat, and definitely among the best in Naples.
Scarparello
Then the scarparello: perfect cooking, super sweet, balanced by the savory pecorino. Very sweet scarparello with the savory hints of the cheese and a little spiciness.
Polpo Rosticiato su Doppia Consistenza di Patate
As a second course, a great roasted octopus on a double consistency of potatoes.
