Sapori e Delizie In Roma

19/01/2025: Yesterday, several days after my birthday, some friends and I went to celebrate at "Acacie e Pepe". We had read many positive reviews and wanted to try this restaurant, in the heart of Centocelle, known for its cuisine and cicchetti. The typical cicchetti of the Venetian tradition represent small portions of food to be enjoyed in company, and in the restaurant they are revisited in an experimental way with extremely tasty combinations and pairings. They represent ideal appetizers for those who love experimenting with new flavors without weighing themselves down too much. Since there were many of us, after having enjoyed the cicchetti between us, we divided ourselves, as usual, between first and second courses, so that we could taste and try everything that intrigued us most. Here's what we tried. The cicchetti Roman cannoli (with vaccinia tail) Panelle, pumpkin chutney, mushrooms in oil Homemade bao, pulled pork, marinated cabbage, green apple Bread croquette and grilled mortadella, provola and pomegranate fondue Cacciatore-style cuttlefish tagliatelle and its shoe Fornara style tuna sashimi and crusco pepper The first ones Fettuccine, cannellini beans, mussels, chorizo ​​and coriander oil Scialatiello with venison ragout, salted ricotta, pomegranate Quadrotto, burnt tomato sauce, tuna and braised onion The seconds Swordfish bowl in puttanesca crust, escarole, anchovy sauce Sliced ​​beef marinated in whisky, smoked pumpkin, spinach, walnuts and honey mayo Pork fillet with green pepper, three-cooked potato with herbs, smoked bacon The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. The ingredients used to create the dishes all proved to be of great quality and freshness. If the cicchetti remain something unique to try, in their variety and imagination, the second courses have proven to be well balanced, managing to surprise the palate with excellent flavor combinations. The creativity of the menu, the quality of the ingredients and the warm welcome make it a culinary experience for friends and family to try!

12/01/2025: Genuine welcome, refined and quality products, innovative menu while respecting traditional flavours, tangible passion in catering and in the desire to satisfy the customer... It's worth going even from the other end of the city. Well done!
