La Soffitta In Serra riccò

18/08/2024: Inventive and original cuisine. Here everything is well done without exuberance but with finesse. Entrance : Raw tuna and grilled green pepper, on a very fresh watermelon and tomato juice. Grilled shrimps on an almond sauce (it looks like chickweight but sweeter), with a black tapenade to grab the bite. and a slice of melon to refresh. Pasta: Huge mandili with pesto served generously, Ravioli filled with grilled onions and smoked ricotta bathed in a barely tangy orange sauce. Secondi: A perfectly cooked duck and a sauce of cooking juices that we would like to sauce endlessly. Accompanied by orange fennel and a slightly spicy Taco to remind us that here it is still originality that we are looking for in each preparation. An almost snacked swordfish but tender and divinely well prepared. And how greedy we are: the very generous peach and hazelnut cake on an Amaretto ice cream. It's like being in the 11th arrondissement in Paris, with added Italian exoticism. On the wine side, a nice list of natural wines (especially Italian). Be careful, no deviance here. We tend to take the wines by the glass to taste several of them. In terms of service, it's super pleasant and gentle. With a lot of kindness we adapt at our own pace. We are advised correctly whether in the menu or in the wines. We speak English, French (wow, I've never heard a foreigner speak with such a slight accent!!) and we switch to Italian with the sommelier with whom we could discuss natural wines throughout the evening. Even if it is perhaps not the restaurant that I would recommend with children, our two daughters (9 and 12 years old) are already quite grown up, no problem, the kitchen even offers to adapt to prepare something simple. But it would be sacrilege not to train their young pup in such beautiful cuisine. We loved it. price-wise: 173 euros for four with 4 glasses of wine. For the work and creativity that it represents, it is excellent value for money. 5/5
