20/08/2024: We dined at "Mad inside The Box" two evenings in a row to try various dishes, and we were very satisfied. Each dish was well prepared and carefully presented. Here's what we tasted:
Linguine with clams, bottarga and ginger: A well-balanced dish, with a mix of flavors that blend perfectly. The clams were fresh and the bottarga added a touch of flavor, while the ginger added a note of freshness.
Burrata and lime tortello, roasted red mullet and yellow datterino tomatoes: The pasta was a little too thick, but the burrata and lime filling was delicious. The roasted red mullet and yellow datterini tomatoes completed the dish with a touch of sweetness and acidity.
Fried anchovies, aromatic herb powder: The anchovies were crunchy and tasty, but the portion was very generous and risked becoming monotonous. A fresh sauce would have helped balance the dish.
Steamed skate bao, spinach and mayonnaise curry (3 pieces): This dish convinced us less. The steamed ray was not very tasty and the curry mayonnaise was a little heavy. There are 3 pieces, it doesn't say anything on the menu, so it has a significant impact on the stomach. If you want to try it, consider it as a dish to share.
Maritozzo squacquerone, caramelized fig and bacon (2 pieces): The highlight of the evening. The Maritozzo was soft and well-filled, with the creamy squacquerone, the sweet caramelized fig and the crunchy bacon creating a perfect balance of flavours.
The service was excellent: the staff, made up of young and attentive guys, were professional and kind, always making us feel at ease.
The place is very beautiful, with a modern design with attention to the smallest details, which creates a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere.
Great music selection at the right volume.
Pet friendly place.
The only weak point is the view onto the road, which is a bit busy during the day, but this did not affect our overall experience too much. Ultimately, “Mad inside The Box” is a restaurant that we highly recommend for the quality of the food and the excellent service.
