06/12/2024: In the middle of our life's journey I found myself in a galley that seemed almost abandoned. .
Oh yes, let us tell you, the beaches that arrive at a certain point of the year really seem like dark forests, not to mention the time changes, making it dark even before snack time.
Despite the gray and dark day we think that perhaps a properly made aperitif can lift the melancholy and sad mood and so we arrive straight at the Cambusa di Bacco.
BUT. . . WHAT IS THE GALLEY?
"The galley, in nautical lexicon is the kitchen on ships, indicates the space inside the boats intended for the storage, conservation and preparation of food. The steward is the person in charge of the galley."
When we arrive here we find ourselves in a setting that is a bit reminiscent of a sailing ship, there are barrels that serve as a table, opaque lighting, the smell of solid wood, a dog that silently but also diligently kept everything under control and that sea breeze that gloriously completed the circle.
Finding ourselves in a galley we can allude to the fact that the possibility of replenishment of food cannot be continuous and therefore the steward is able to offer us a static menu which however manages to acquire extra courses on "landing" days / theme evenings .
We have taken; 😋
• Galley platter: where there were various good quality cured meats and cheeses: raw ham, salami, cracklings, mortadella with pistachios, squacquerone, Sardinian pecorino and a semi-matured Sardinian goat's cheese which had a very delicious spicy aftertaste.
It's a shame, however, that the description also mentioned savory pies which didn't arrive together with the cutting board. . It's a little disheartening to expect something that will never come, isn't it?
• Fisherman's cutting board: here too the quality is good and the various combinations are fun, they never bore you.
The breadsticks brought at the beginning were also good, crumbly, crunchy and with an intense bread flavour.
In conclusion? This is certainly not a place for a pre-dinner aperitif because in any case the final price is that of a dinner (€93) - come here to relax while sipping a good bottle of wine to be pampered and teased by these platters full of taste, imagination and preparation. be cheered by the wisdom of the steward who will prove to be a good chatting companion.
