由即日起至4月10日，Cucina的意籍總廚Andrea Delzanno推出7款意大利拉素地區的傳統家庭美食，讓賓客欣賞醉人的維港景色，同時盡情享用經典意國美饌。
位處意大利中部的拉素，它可說是匯聚了羅馬飲食精髓的地區。拉素擁有絕佳的農地，出產包括各式肉類、雅枝竹、橄欖等上等食材，是以他們傾向以簡單的烹調手法，帶出食物原有的鮮味。Andrea說「今次我們會將意大利坎帕尼亞及拉素地區最原始的味道帶給賓客，絕對不能錯過。」
頭盤推介包括西西里生紅蝦薄片配雅枝竹沙律 (港幣308)，Andrea稱：「我以雅枝竹甘甜爽脆的花芯做沙律，雅枝竹的淡淡果仁味道配上鮮甜的西西里紅蝦，兩者互相輝映，令人一試難忘。」
雅枝竹營養價值豐富，不含脂肪及膽固醇，更提供豐富的維他命C兼具抗氧化功能，是最佳的天然健康食材。來自皮埃蒙特的Andrea擅長炮製意大利粉，他今次更推介小龍蝦香蒜意大利扁麵 (港幣428)，意大利麵吸收了小龍蝦的鮮甜味道，每一口都滋味非常。
另一主菜推介，龍蝦雅枝竹意大利飯 (港幣438)，集龍蝦的鮮味與雅枝竹的獨特芳香於一身，加上散發濃郁牛奶芝士香氣的意大利飯，滿口盡是芳香精華，是舌尖的最佳享受。
7款拉素的傳統菜式由即日起至4月10日午餐及晚餐時段供應。
From now until 10 April 2017, savour the spectacular panoramic Victoria Harbour views and Hong Kong iconic skyline at Cucina along with seven sumptuous home-style Lazio specialties presented by Italian Chef de Cuisine, Andrea Delzanno.
Located in central Italy, the Lazio region showcases the essence of Roman cuisine. Lazio’s rich farmland produces superb meats, Roman artichokes, succulent olives and other fresh ingredients. The signature classic cooking style of this region is deliberately rustic to allow you to enjoy and savour the exquisite rich subtle flavours that are unique and indicative of these produce.
Red prawn Carpaccio, raw artichoke salad, lemon dressing (HK$308) is a refreshing starter packed with natural goodness. “The best way to taste the amazing flavour of the artichoke is to eat it raw,” explains Chef Andrea. The nutty and sweet flavours combine beautifully with the freshness of the Sicilian red prawn.
Linguine with garlic, olive oil, chili and seared scampi (HK$428) is another must-try dish recommended by Chef Andrea. The classic Italian favourite with a unique twist combines the savoury taste of seared fresh scampi and the delicate texture of the linguine for a perfect bite experience.
Risotto with lobster, Roman artichoke and mascarpone cheese (HK$438) delivers a decadent taste of the sea with artichoke adding extra dimensions of flavour and aroma to the perfectly cooked creamy rice and fresh lobster.
Cucina invites you to indulge in these and more authentic Lazio specialties. Available from now until 10 April 2017, this special menu is offered during both lunch and dinner, set against the sparkling backdrop of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong’s iconic skyline.
