Ever since I met the Camanini brothers at @gourmetescape a few years back, I’ve been desperate to go to @ristorantelido84 and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve done a small collage of some of the food I ate (by no means all) and bear in mind that because I had the tasting menu of many, many courses, each one had to be a small portion. The food was just rhapsodic, from the deep-fried sage leaves with honey and best grissini I’ve ever had, on arrival, to the nougat with coffee! But I‘ve waffled on for long enough. So: the picture top left is the spaghettoni with butter and yeast; the great Alain Ducasse claimed it was the best thing he’d ever eaten. I can’t wait to go back for a full portion on the regular menu! The sauce tastes like some imaginary butter-flavoured truffle. Next, spaghetti with tomato sauce like you’ve never tasted before. Top right is tongue with chillies and lemon, which has the melting texture of a slow-cooked short rib. Middle row left is the bavette with duck fat and lardo: there are no words that could do justice to this; for once, I’m silenced. Next is the rigatoni cacio e pepe “en vessie”, their world famous pasta cooked in a pig’s bladder. Don’t be alarmed: the flavour it brings is of a subtle, almost nutmeggy umami. Next up, is the sweetest squid with green Thai curry sauce, Italianate version. Bottom left is the beautiful simplicity of wild broccoli roasted over wood. It was so good! Then the perfect purity of milk ice cream, and finally to (some of the) dolci: a cake to tear apart (on the navy plate, quite hard to read!) and dunk onto the most extraordinary golden pot of zabaione. A deep, dense, dark caramelised bread pudding and the milk ice cream also make an appearance. It was one of the best lunches in my life. Beautiful wine pairing too. I can’t wait to go back!」5月16日 20時36分
