Un giovane prodigio che lo scorso anno ha meritato il Premio Internazionale lomejordelagastronomia.com e che nel 2012 ci ha offerto il pasto più artistico e innovativo che abbiamo fatto ques'anno in Italia.
A 26 anni, Lorenzo Cogo ha girato tutto il mondo, dal Giappone a Singapore, passando per Danimarca, Inghilterra e Spagna. Gli stage in alcuni dei migliori ristoranti del pianeta gli hanno permesso di avere una visione molto universale e personale. Lui è lui, e assimila ciò che gli interessa di ogni cuoco e di ogni cultura per poi plasmarlo nella sua opera. Le sue esperienze, i suoi sentimenti, le sue passioni si vedono riflessi in piatti tanto differenti. Ciò non vuol dire che non abbia personalità, immensa, che colloca la persona al disopra delle influenze. In 30 anni di esperienza gastronomica, abbiamo solo visto due o tre giovani della sua età con tante idee, con tanta erudizione, con tanta tecnica, con tanta solidezza. Ci troviamo in presenza di un SUPERDOTATO destinato ad essere un numero uno d’Italia e del mondo. Tempo al tempo. Ha tutte le qualità per fare storia.
Il locale è informale e di design, originale e minimalista; un bistrot contemporaneo. Il suo soggiorno in oriente e ad Etxebarri lo porta ad ideare aperitivi tanto rinfrescanti e rustici come i mitili arrostiti nel forno a legna e serviti in barattolo, perché conservino la fragranza, assieme a una granita di dashi, salicornia e kumquat, in una perfetta combinazione di contrappunti di fumo e di mare. O tanto di montagna come il burro El Coq; una sostanziosa sfera per ottenere 600 grammi della quale sono necessari 25 litri di latte di capra. È chiarissimo che si abbevera in diverse fonti per ottenere composizioni molto differenti: crocchette di carne e gelatina di vitello con sassefrica (al dente e in purè) e finferli. Stiamo davanti ad una gastronomia giovanile e disinibita che in molti casi mostra genialità: pezzi di piccole barbabietole lesse e affumicate che si servono con fettine crude marinate in Martini, il tutto su un fondo di nocciole che copre una base di tapioca e yogurt, con una quenelle di gelato di questo a coronamento di una così visiva, fantastica, complessa e sibaritica costruzione. Un’altra genialità, questa volta ispirata alla Tailandia, che rappresenta un modo rivoluzionario di concepire l’insalata: ravioli crudi di lattuga di mare ripieni di tartara di gamberetti e sedano accompagnati da foglie di verza crude, salsa di mango, olio aromatizzato con succo di gamberetti, uova di salmone , gel di cocco, wasabi e lime, stupefacente strutturazione di olio d’oliva e zucchero e, perché non ci siano dubbi di stile, fumo di brace di cocco. Non cessa un istante la genialità: granchio melograno cotto al vapore con gazpacho di mandorla, scoglio di olive nere, pane alle olive grattato, olive verdi tritate, meringa all’olio bruciata, foglie di senape, mandorle tenere grattate e, in piena estenuazione intellettuale e fisica, un consommé di granchio melograno fortemente pepato. Non si può essere più originale e più complesso. Il che torna ad essere palese nel fegato di rana pescatrice cotto a bassa temperatura (una versione marinara di un trancio di foie gras), che viene adornato con una gelatina di prugne giapponesi, ravanelli e daikon. Emulando Vittor Arginzoniz i gamberi rossi della Sardegna alla brace, per questa e per la loro qualità intrinseca i migliori d’Italia. Un’altra idea derivata dal suo soggiorno nei Paesi Baschi: i ghiotti tortelli ripieni di salsiccia navarrese e adagiati su una crema di formaggio. Il riso fatto arte: risotto verde, aromatizzato e tinto con succo di prezzemolo, con sopra pregiati ornamenti: sfere di brodo di lime e kombu, cannolicchi, cuori di mare, seppioline, gamberi, burro di mare... e il mare in bocca con consistenza al dente e burrosa. Un’altra intelligentissima follia con aroma di brace, questa volta delle immacolate animelle al fumo di fieno con maionese al dragoncello e cerfoglio, oltre ad alcune foglie di cipolla. E burroso, fondente, succulento,… un rispettabilissimo porcellino da latte a 360 ºC, che certifica che tutti i prodotti impiegati sono eccellenti e trattati con somma maestria, oltre che adornati con ingegno.
Paco Morales, David Toutain “Ágape Substance” e Lorenzo Cogo sono le icone dell’ultima generazione di artisti culinari. E dei tre, è lo chef di Le Coq che, forse per essere il più giovane, si mostra più iconoclasta e più all’avanguardia.

A child prodigy who deserved last year’s International Lomejordelagastronomia.com Award and who proposed us the most artistic and innovative meal of all the ones we had the opportunity to enjoy in Italy in 2012.
26-year-old Lorenzo Cogo has already travelled all around the world, from Japan to Singapore, through Denmark, England and Spain. The time he spent in some of the best restaurants of the planet gave him a very universal and personal vision. Keeping his own personality, he assimilates all the external culinary and cultural elements he is interested in and expresses them in his work. His experiences, feelings and passions are reflected through a big variety of dishes. This doesn’t mean that he hasn’t got a strong personality; the man is not affected by influences. During 30 years of gastronomic experience, we had never seen any young cook like him –except two or three– with so many ideas, such an erudition, such a technique, and such a soundness. This highly-gifted chef is aimed at becoming a number one in Italy and in the whole world –he already is, actually. Time will tell. He possesses all the qualities to make history.

This designer restaurant is informal, original and minimalist; a contemporary bistro. Lorenzo’s experience in the East and at Etxebarri’s incites him to create refreshing appetizers such as the mussels roasted in a wood-burning oven and served into a ceramic plate that preserves all their fragrances, together with some iced dashi, salicornia and kumquat; perfectly harmonized smoke/sea contrasts. Or mountain proposals such as the El Coq butter: a substantial ball of goat cheese you need 25 litres of milk to make 600 grams of. Lorenzo’s sources of inspiration allow him to obtain very different compositions: meat croquettes and beef jelly with al dente and pureed salsifies, together with chanterelles. The tuna maki covered with spinach jelly served with frozen powdered pea and wasabi and soy sauces is an immaculate and audacious vision of Japan. This is a youthful and uninhibited gastronomy which is generally full of genius: cooked and smoked pieces of baby beet served with raw slices marinated in Martini onto some hazelnut earth which covers a base of tapioca and yoghurt; the whole is accompanied with a quenelle of yoghurt ice-cream that crowns this visual, fantastic, complex and sybaritic construction. And here comes another brilliant proposal, inspired by Thailand, that is a revolutionary conception of salad: raw raviolis made with sea lettuce skin filled with prawn and celery tartare, accompanied with raw cabbage leaves, mango sauce, olive oil seasoned with prawn juice, salmon roe, coconut, wasabi and lime jelly, an amazing texturization of olive oil and sugar, as well as –to confirm the level of the chef’s style– some grilled coconut ’s smoke. Genius is omnipresent, here: steamed king crab with almonds gazpacho, black olive stone, black olive breadcrumbs, chopped green olives, burnt olive meringue, mustard leaves, grated young almonds and some intensely peppered king crab consommé that expresses the intellectual and physical explosion of the chef. Could anyone be more original and complex? Definitely not. This extreme originality and complexity are also reflected by the monkfish liver, cooked at low temperature, which is in fact the sea version of the foie gras au torchon, garnished with some jelly of Japanese plums, radishes and daikon. Or by the red prawns from Sardinia, the best in Italy, charcoal-grilled as Bittor Arguinzóniz’s. Another proposal inspired by his stay in the Basque country is the gourmand tortelli stuffed with chistorra (paprika sausage) lain over some cheese cream. Rice is pure art, here: green risotto aromatized and dyed with parsley juice and topped with precious jewels (lime stock and kombu balls, razor-shells, cockles, baby cuttlefish, shrimps, marine butter, …); the whole sea in the mouth with al dente and creamy consistencies. Another utterly intelligent madness with embers aromas is the immaculate sweetbread with hay smoke seasoned with tarragon and parsley mayonnaise as well and onion leaves. And what can we say about the greasy, melting, succulent … extremely honourable 360º suckling pig, which confirms that all the products used here are exceptional, treated with absolute mastery and ingeniously dressed.

Paco Morales, David Toutain (Agapé Substance) and Lorenzo Cogo (El Coq) are the symbols of the last generation of culinary artists. The latter, who is the youngest, turns to be the most iconoclast and the most modern.

        UN NIÑO PRODIGIO QUE MERECIO EL AÑO PASADO EL PREMIO INTERNACIONAL LOMEJORDELAGASTRONOMIA.COM Y QUE NOS HA DADO EN EL 2012 LA MÁS ARTISTICA E INNOVADORA COMIDA QUE HEMOS REALIZADO EN ITALIA EN ESTE AÑO. 
 Lorenzo Cogo a los 26 años ha recorrido el mundo entero, de Japón a Singapur pasando por Dinamarca, Inglaterra y España. Su estancia en varios de los mejores restaurantes del planeta le ha permitido tener una visión muy universal y personal. El es él y asimila lo que le interesa de cada cocinero y cultura para plasmarlo en su obra. Sus vivencias, sus sentimientos, sus pasiones se ven reflejadas en platos tan diferentes. Eso no quiere decir que no tenga personalidad, inmensa, colocando la persona por encima de las influencias. En 30 años de experiencia gastronómica no hemos llegado a ver un joven, a su edad, salvo dos o tres, con tantas ideas, con tanta erudición, con tanta técnica, con tanta solidez. Estamos ante un SUPERDOTADO llamado a ser un número uno de Italia, ya lo es, y del mundo. Tiempo al tiempo. Posee todas las cualidades para hacer historia.
El local es informal y de diseño, original y minimalista; un bistrot contemporáneo. Su estancia en oriente y en Etxebarri le lleva a idear aperitivos tan refrescantes y rústicos como los mejillones asados en horno de leña servidos en tarro, para que conserven las fragancias, junto a un granizado de dashi, salicornia y kinquat, en una perfecta conjunción de confrontaciones de humo y mar. O tan de montaña como la mantequilla El Coq; una sustanciosa bola de cabra que para obtener 600 gramos se requieren 25 litros de leche. Que bebe en diversas fuentes para lograr composiciones muy diferentes esta clarísimo: croquetas de carne y gelatina de ternera con salsifíes al dente y en puré, además de rebozuelos. Estamos ante una gastronomía juvenil y desinhibida que en muchos casos exhibe genialidad: trozos de pequeñas remolachas cocidas y ahumadas que se sirven con láminas crudas marinadas en Martini todo ello sobre una tierra de avellanas que cubre una base de tapioca y yogur, con una quenelle de helado de este rematando tan visual, fantástica, compleja y sibaritita construcción. . Más genialidad, en esta ocasión inspirada en Tailandia, que representa una manera revolucionaria de concebir la ensalada: raviolis crudos de piel de lechuga de mar rellenos de tartar de gambas y apio que se acompañan de hojas de berza crudas, salsa de mango, aceite aromatizado con jugo de gambas, huevas de salmón, gel de coco, wasabi y lima, asombrosa texturización de aceite de oliva y azúcar y, para que no haya dudas del estilo, humo de brasa de coco. No cesa un instante la genialidad: cangrejo real cocido al vapor con gazpacho de almendra, roca de olivas negras, pan rallado a su vez de aceitunas, aceitunas verdes picadas, merengue quemado de aceite, hojas de mostaza, almendras tiernas ralladas y, en plena extenuación intelectual y física, un consomé de cangrejo real intensamente pimentado. No se puede ser más original y más complejo. Lo que vuelve a quedar de manifiesto en el hígado de rape, cocido a baja temperatura, que es la versión marina de un torchon de foie gras, que se engalana con una gelatina de ciruelas japonesas, rábanos y daikon. Emulando a Bittor Arguinzóniz las gambas rojas de Cerdeña asadas a la brasa, por esta y por calidad intrínseca, las mejores de Italia. Otra ocurrencia derivada de su estancia en el País Vasco: los gulescos tortelli con chistorra en su interior dispuesto con una crema de queso. El arroz hecho arte: risotto verde, aromatizado y teñido con jugo de perejil, con preciosa joyas por encima: esferas de caldo de lima y Kombu, navajas, berberechos, sepias diminutas, quisquillas, mantequilla marina…el mar en la boca con texturas al dente y mantecosa. Otra locura inteligentísima con aroma de ascuas, en esta oportunidad unas: inmaculadas mollejas al humo de heno con mayonesa de estragón y perifollo, además de unas hojas de cebolla. Y mantecoso, fundente, suculento… un honorabilísimo cochinillo 360º, que certifica que todos los productos que se emplean son excepcionales y tratados con suma maestría, además de vestidos ingeniosamente.
Paco Morales, David Toutain “Ágape Substance” y Lorenzo Cogo son los iconos de la última generación de artistas culinarios. Y de los tres, el de Le Coq es, por ser el más joven, el que exhibe rasgos más iconoclastas y más de última generación.

Morelli è uno specialista del riso a livello mondiale, con Carlo Cracco e Massimiliano Alajmo, i grandi maestri del risotto, a cui seguono Davide Scabín e Paolo Lopriore. A differenza di tutti questi, Giancarlo è un cuoco classico, evoluto, molto evoluto, ma un’autorità, una grande autorità per le specialità tipiche italiane e in particolar modo per quelle lombarde. Cinque risotti grandiosi, delle ricette che sfiorano l’eccellente e poi due carni sublimi, una delle quali è una versione personale della cotoletta alla milanese. Il rigore dello chef inizia sempre dalla selezione dei prodotti, a cui apporta profonde conoscenze tecniche e condisce il tutto con una straordinaria raffinatezza di palato. Il risultato è una carne succulenta e rosacea, un’impanatura saporita e sottile e un tutto che invita a un peccato di gola. Se questo boccone è inquestionabile, difficilmente si può mangiare un ossobuco superiore, per la qualità intrinseca della zampa di vitello, tenerissima e succulentissima, con un midollo sublime, i cui succhi si fondono con un sugo di verdure esuberante per gusto e aroma. Ossobuco che costituisce una gradita e persino inevitabile obbligazione. Più contemporanea è la scaloppa di foie gras alla piastra con petto di pollo (petto d’anatra), con due contorni magnifici: un rosti all’olio d’oliva e uno spicchio di mela Fuji caramellata.
Paste scelte, perfettamente cotte e ben vestite di sughi e complementi: spaghetti con tonno, cipolla rossa stufata al Pinot nero e mollica di pane aromatizzata alla menta; ravioli ripieni di asparagi e burrata con pesto di pomodoro marinato; tagliolini di pasta all’uovo con luppolo, animelle in manto di pistacchi e gocce di birra scura; ecc.
Risi, ripetiamo, eccellenti. Iniziando dal risotto alla milanese, con una cottura al dente e uniforme, insuperabile, con il cereale che preserva il suo sapore naturale, con una cremosità squisitamente profumata di zafferano, con un medaglione di midollo che è prelibatezza allo stato puro e con dei cordoni di riduzione al vino rosso che apportano freschezza e allo stesso tempo moltiplicano la forza del piatto. Di una soddisfazione e una sontuosità insuperabili il riso che fu proclamato il Miglior Risotto dell’Anno in Italia dalla Guida Gallo: il carnaroli “Pavese Gran Riserva” mantecato alla ricotta di bufala leggermente affumicata, con tartara di gamberi rossi, tartufo nero e colatura di alici; meritatissimo premio. E se invece si cercano le sensazioni forti e la modernità più stupefacente, si esulterà a non finire con il risotto mantecato con il robiola di capra di Roccaverano con aglio nero candito in vino porto e marsala, limone candito e crackers di parmigiano. Un altro 10 per la qualità della materia prima per la millimetrica e omogenea cottura, che ne potenzia le virtù naturali, come anche per la mis en plat, che ne costituisce il giusto contrappunto.

    Morelli is a world-famous expert on rice, together with Carlo Cracco and Massimiliano Alajmo, the great masters of risotto, followed by Davide Scabin and Paolo Lopriore. Unlike the above-mentioned cooks, Giancarlo is a classical and evolutionary –very evolutionary– chef as well a great authority on typical Italian specialties, especially Lombard ones. He proposes five tremendous rice dishes, a series of pasta recipes that are getting on for 9/10, and two sublime meats, one of which is the personal version of the famous cotoleta alla milanesa. The chef’s rigor always starts with the product selection, followed by the concretion of his precise technical knowledge and by the final seasoning with his particular palatal refinement. The result of it is a delicious pinkish chop, coated in breadcrumbs, which has a subtle consistency; a whole that invites you to go on eating. Morelli’s ossubuco, as impeccable as the cotoleta, can’t be beaten either: intrinsic quality of the veal leg –utterly tender and juicy, with exquisite marrow–, whose juices melt with an extremely tasty and aromatic vegetable stew; a real MUST. In a more contemporary style, try the grilled foie gras escalope accompanied with chicken breast and two terrific complements: rosti with olive oil and segment of caramelized Fuji apple.
The different kinds of selected pasta are perfectly done and dressed with great sauces and seasonings: spaghetti with tuna, red onion cooked in red wine and breadcrumbs seasoned with mint; asparagus and burrata cheese raviolis with marinated tomato pesto; egg tagliolini with hop, sweetbread covered with pistachios and stout juice; etc.
The rice proposals are really excellent –we insist. Starting with the risotto alla milanesa: unbeatable al dente and uniform doneness, preservation of the natural flavour of the cereal, exquisite creaminess perfumed with saffron, marrow medaillon – a pure delight– and a line of red wine reduction that gives freshness and power. The sophistication and the magnificence of the Best Italian Rice by the Gallo Guide are frankly unique: carnaroli Pavese Great Reserve bound with slightly smoked buffalo ricotta and served with red prawns, black truffle and anchovy juice; a well-deserved award. If you look for strong sensations and impressive modernity, taste the Roccaverano goat cheese cake served with black garlic candied in port and Marsala liquor, candied lemon and Parmesan crackers. This new 10/10 is deserved for the quality of the raw materials, for the extreme precision and homogeneity of the doneness –which reinforces the natural virtues of the products– as well as for the seasonings, which provide strong counterpoints.

The different kinds of selected pasta are perfectly done and dressed with great sauces and seasonings: spaghetti with tuna, red onion cooked in red wine and breadcrumbs seasoned with mint; asparagus and burrata cheese raviolis with marinated tomato pesto; egg tagliolini with hop, sweetbread covered with pistachios and stout juice; etc.
The rice proposals are really excellent –we insist. Starting with the risotto alla milanesa: unbeatable al dente and uniform doneness, preservation of the natural flavour of the cereal, exquisite creaminess perfumed with saffron, marrow medaillon – a pure delight– and a line of red wine reduction that gives freshness and power. The sophistication and the magnificence of the Best Italian Rice by the Gallo Guide are frankly unique: carnaroli Pavese Great Reserve bound with slightly smoked buffalo ricotta and served with red prawns, black truffle and anchovy juice; a well-deserved award. If you look for strong sensations and impressive modernity, taste the Roccaverano goat cheese cake served with black garlic candied in port and Marsala liquor, candied lemon and Parmesan crackers. This new 10/10 is deserved for the quality of the raw materials, for the extreme precision and homogeneity of the doneness –which reinforces the natural virtues of the products– as well as for the seasonings, which provide strong counterpoints.

  Morelli es un especialista mundial del arroz, con Carlo Cracco y Massimiliano Alajmo, los grandes maestros del risotto, a los que siguen Davide Scabín y Paolo Lopriore. A diferencia de todos los citados, Giancarlo es un cocinero clásico, evolucionado, muy evolucionado, pero una autoridad, suma autoridad, en las especialidades típicas italianas y especialmente en las lombardas. Cinco arroces apoteósicos, unas cuantas recetas de pasta que rozan el sobresaliente y luego dos carnes sublimes, una de ellas la versión personal de la cotoleta alla milanesa. El rigor del chef empieza siempre por la selección de los productos, luego aporta sus exhaustivos conocimientos técnicos y lo sazona con el refinamiento palatal que posee. El resultado es una chuleta suculenta y rosácea, un empanado sabroso y de una consistencia sutil y un conjunto que incita a la gula. Si a este bocado no se le puede poner un pero, difícilmente se puede comer un ossobuco superior, por la calidad intrínseca de la pierna de la ternera, tiernísima y jugosísima, con un tuétano sublime, cuyos jugos se funden con un guiso de verduras exuberante de gusto y aromas. Ossobuco que constituye una grata y hasta ineludible obligación. Más contemporáneo tenemos el escalope de foie gras a la plancha con pechuga de pato con dos complementos magníficos: un rosti al aceite de oliva y un gajo de manzana Fuji caramelizada.
Pastas selectas perfectamente cocidas y bien vestidas en salsas y complementos: espaguetis con atún, cebolla roja al vino tinto y mollica de pan aromatizada a la menta; raviolis de espárragos y burrata con pesto de tomate marinado; tagliolini de pasta de huevo con lúpulo, animelle en manto de pistachos y jugo de cerveza oscura; etc.
Arroces, repetimos, sobresalientes. Empezando por el risotto a la milanesa, de una cocción al dente y uniforme insuperable, preservando el cereal su sabor natural, con una cremosidad exquisitamente perfumada con azafrán, con un medallón de tuétano que es manjarosidad pura y dura y con unos cordones de reducción de vino tinto que aportan frescor a la vez que multiplican la fuerza del plato. De una sofisticación y suntuosidad insuperables el risotto que fue proclamado el Mejor Riso de Italia por la Guía Gallo: el carnaroli Pavese Gran Reserva ligado con ricotta de búfala ligeramente ahumada, con tartar de gambas rojas, trufa negra y colatura di alici; justísimo premio. Y si lo que busca son las fuertes sensaciones y la modernidad más impactante no deje de darle vivas a la vida con el mantecado de queso de cabra de Roccaverano con ajo negro confitado en oporto y marsala, limón confitado y crackers de parmesano. Otro 10 por la calidad de la materia prima, por la milimétrica y homogénea cocción, potenciadora de sus virtudes naturales, así como por los atrezzos, que deparan en este caso fuertes contrapuntos.



Alicante: Cervecería Restaurante Víctor

Popular restaurante de toda la vida que se encuentra en el barrio alicantino de Benalúa, del que es su principal referente gastronómico. El local, que ha sido recientemente remodelado, exhibe una sorprendente barra de 12 metros de largo en la que brillan los mariscos y pescaítos, los montaditos, ensaladas tradicionales y tapas clásicas de cuchareo contundente, junto a elaboraciones más modernas y evolucionadas, como la ensaladilla rusa, que en esta casa se hace con la patata asada al horno, o la lata de bacalao. Latita de bacalao confitado en aceite de romero, hueva prensada, foie de bacalao asado, alioli de aceitunas negras y tapenade; o el Tomate en texturas, salazones alicantinos, olivas verdes de Cieza y aceite de oliva virgen extra.
Al frente del negocio se encuentra la segunda generación de hosteleros de la familia Pastor, los hermanos David y Víctor que están ciertamente comprometidos con la mejora de la gastronomía de mostrador.
Entre las tapas de más éxito destacan la mencionada ensaladilla rusa, muy prestigiosa por su delicadeza; las patatas bravas; la cazuela de pulpo; el solomillo con foie fresco y P.X., albóndigas rellenas de sepia; las tradicionales quisquillas; boqueroncitos; carabineros;
Es solo una muestra de las cuarenta tapas que lucen en la barra de este concurrido establecimiento, dirigido por David Pastor. Bocados tradicionales y populares en unos casos y manifiestamente elaborados y complejos en otros. Entre los primeros gozan de gran predicamento el salteadito de sepionet con ajos tiernos y alcachofas y las patas de pulpo al horno con verduritas y patatas panadera; ambos conseguidísimos. Entre los segundos merecen ser destacadas las suculentas albóndigas rellenas de sepia guisadas al vino tinto y la espectacular y original Mc Víctor: una mini hamburguesa artesana de buey con parmesano, rúcola y mostaza. Es la estrella de los montaditos, entre los ocho que se ofrecen. La casa también ofrece arroces a go go: a banda, señoret, etc.

 Ilario Vinciguerra, winner of the V International Award for Extra Virgin Olive Oil Recipes “Jaén, paraíso interior”, is a chef with both professional dedication and natural gifts. Though he resides in northern Italy and his wife, Marika (with whom he works side by side), is from the Piedmont region, a southern Italian feeling is expressed with passion in his cuisine thanks to his Neapolitan origins (he is really fond of Naples). His constructions, always filled with talent and reflection, combine temperament with refinement–intense flavours with sapid purity. It is astonishing to see how well he maintains that difficult equilibrium, captured time and again in his dishes, independent of the quantity of ingredients that he uses in any given formula. The exquisiteness and generosity are always distinguished here. The historical memory is always venerated, especially through a specific ingredient: the tomato, omnipresent, which is treated as nowhere else in the world. Passionate, intuitive … This is the Vinciguerra we like, more than the one who creates compositions stuffed with intellectual and artistic delirium which, despite of being very good and praiseworthy, don’t really reflect the chef’s personality and natural talent.
With the new location of the restaurant, 2011 represented an incredible leap forward in Ilario’s career regarding both atmosphere –this place is a real palace– and concepts. His amazing intellectual maturity is expressed in the way he conceives and builds his dishes as well as in the flavours he offers, always elegant and harmonious. This is a velvety, very elaborated cuisine. Except the desserts, all are new proposals. Let’s say it clearly: Vinciguerra has become one of the very best chefs in Italy. This is why he definitely deserves this 9/10.
First flash: cherries stuffed with foie gras and a hint of their juice. To keep up with the same spirit, the cook proposes a half raw scallop, slightly cooked, immaculate, garnished with a few simple vegetables that act as translucent and colourful lingerie over the charming meat of the seafood. What a delicacy! What a tenderness! What an authenticity! The oyster with iced cucumber, acid and crunchy cream of Lombard ham is a double somersault focused on the freshness from the sea and from the vegetable garden. A child’s prank executed in the Ferran Adrià’s line: “The island that isn’t an island”. A play in the form of edible candy floss whose shades and flavours remind a pizza, a fantastic pizza made of oil, tomato, herbs, peanuts, vinegar, etc. garnished with candy floss. And what can we say about the glorious handmade spaghetti with anchovy juice and slightly smoked endive: al dente, pure, with the genuine taste of pasta and a personality that is synonymous with great pleasure, like all the rest. Let’s repeat it over and over again: pasta reaches really high peaks, here. Like the gourmand pork raviolis. Or the fascinating, sublime and unavoidable tortello filled with goat cheese, covered with caviar and lain over some roasted carrot juice. The version of Caprese salad is really brilliant: rehydrated tomatoes with mozzarella foam and herbs salad. The risotto with garlic foam, parsley oil and hot pepper powder is really brilliant regarding doneness, sapid counterpoints and seasoning techniques; an extremely amazing way to reinvent ancestral flavours. Ilario is a real master of cod (maybe because of his frequent trips to Spain). After a meticulous selection of the product, he treats it in a subtle way that allows him to enhance its iridescence, taste and consistency. Here, the cod is perfumed with basil oil and set in the middle of a modern garden whose vegetables display all their delights and sweet-and-sour flavours. The main “problem” about the meat proposals is to choose between the veal cheek with aubergine and melting chocolate or the suckling pig, crunchy and buttery, accompanied with a slice of goose foie gras and lemon. One thing is sure: in this restaurant, even the greediest guests eat their fill. And as dessert, don’t miss the Gold of Naples, a kind of golden yolk that tastes like a delicate and ethereal pastiera napolitana. The rum baba, utter spongy, also deserves an excellent mark.
