05/04/2024: The evening in this restaurant was pleasant especially because I was able to use a €50 discount that I had accumulated, however, net of this benefit, my partner and I share rather conflicting opinions. The menu is decidedly attractive and the prices, on paper, are good compared to what the area offers. We are in fact in the heart of Brera where a multitude of tourist venues (in the worst sense of the word) flourish, with a medium-low quality offer at stratospheric prices. Well, Bauscia is not this. However, there are sins in the execution of the dishes that make us suspend judgment, perhaps postponing them to a next visit.
As appetizers we ordered the mondeghili au gratin with foies gras and stracchino, where the mondeghili were really good, but the foies gras I would say was almost not received... where was it? Inside of? Was it represented by the sauce? I didn't understand or perceive!
The other appetizer was some very tasty and fresh scallops larded with Pata Negra lard (also not very strong) on chickpea hummus and tzaziki sauce. The hummus in particular was really excessive in quantity for the dish which unbalanced everything. In essence, if the raw material can be promoted with flying colours, the execution cannot! Once again those gems that should have added zest to the dish turned out to be anonymous: the foies gras first and the pata negra lard in this.
Execution yet to be reviewed in the dish of tonnarelli cheese and pepper in Bronte pistachio cream and red prawns from Mazara del Vallo: they were overcooked... a real shame, because the combination of flavors was pleasant.
I then closed the dinner with a plate of cheeses which disappointed me in variety and quantity: I found the "trolley" rather banal given that you could choose between Parmigiano Reggiano, Tuscan pecorino, Sardinian pecorino, natural gorgonzola and two cheeses of goat, but the worst thing in my opinion was that, once I had chosen the 3 types, I was presented with an almost transparent slice of each type! No, this really needs to be reviewed.
Young, willing, capable and proactive service.
A plus is certainly represented by the interesting wine list with original labels and away from the usual suspects. We dined while enjoying an excellent Lugana Riserva Bepi 2020 from La Rifa, a truly excellent product.
