The Hi Weekly team was invited to check-out Rossini’s new menu additions over lunch. We were delighted by course-after-course of fresh, beautifully presented dishes served in the chic Italian fine dining restaurant, with the restaurant’s signature elegant service.
Rossini Restaurant is a well-known Italian fine dining restaurant that opened in The Cave complex last year. It is one of those places that will make your jaw drop with amazing interior decor, attentive staff, and authentic, down-right delicious food. And now, the restaurant is rolling-out a new lineup of dishes. So, the Hi team headed to Rossini to have our editorial meeting and check out the new dishes.
We were led to a majestic, private dining room, where we sampled a four course meal from the updated menu. After the amuse buche, a bite of fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomato, and basil served with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, we started the meal with ‘insalata di gamberi avocado’, a salad of fresh greens tossed with perfectly-seasoned, springy prawns, and sliced avocados, dressed with a light lemon vinaigrette. The refreshing salad was the perfect way to start our feast.
Next came the ‘calamaretti alla griglia’ a dish of pan-seared squid rings dressed in a rich lemon, butter, and garlic sauce, and bedded on green salad. The rich sauce was a perfect foil to the unseasoned greens and the perfectly cooked squid.
In between our appetizers and main courses, we also sampled two of the new thin-crust pizzas, one topped with perfectly-seasoned chicken, and the other one with roast vegetables and cheese. They were crisp, hot, and perfect.
For the main, we were presented ‘vitello con le erbe vino rosso spagnole’, a veal strip lion steak topped with a herb demi glace alongside mashed potatoes and roast vegetables. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavour.
The final course was an Italian cheesecake, which was a creamy vanilla mousse topped with blueberry coulis — simply superb. We are happy to report that the newest menu is as good as, or dare I say, better than the last, for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, casual, Italian in a posh setting. —[email protected]
