Restaurant Review "The place of Aimo e Nadia" in Milan I decided a few years ago, I'm going to eat all the best restaurants in Italy (and the world, if you will make time) and as most of these has the disadvantage of costing a lot, I can not afford one or two down 'year.
On Saturday, it was the turn of
Place of Aimo and Nadia , a place that now belongs to the mythology of Milan and Italian restaurants.
We booked at 16 o'clock, or rather, we tried to book, because there was no room on the first and only after a second attempt an hour later we got the coveted dinner table.
The restaurant is two steps away from the MM Primaticcio, 6 Montecuccoli street, in an anonymous building in the suburbs, faced the towering works of art, colorful, on the outside walls. All
'inside, the atmosphere is elegant, but without overdoing it, in fact. There are tables and chairs dressed as in other big restaurants but "only" order-and of course - to be cleaned.
The staff is friendly and very helpful and after we settled in, we are offered a drink.
Go with a drink then! We are served a really delicious sparkling wine, accompanied by two cannoli stuffed with anchovies and capers delicious, as well as a crouton with olive paste exceptional.
Then, from the kitchen comes the tribute that is truly delicious appetizer.
A puree of pumpkin with burrata from Puglia, balsamic vinegar and almonds . Goduria. Meanwhile
Aimo, who stops at every table placid, became aware of
Antonella Lucchese, we dedicate some time telling the story of some of the dishes he chooses and serves in his restaurant, including the 'oil that makes us taste the bread made from them and smoked hams from a friend who does get to the border with Slovenia .
We chose the tasting menu and it's time of 'starter itself. Accompanied by a superb white 'South Tyrol:
warm prawns, blanched in infusion of verbena and mint, with white beans with olive oil Controne Cerasuola . Splendid. It will be difficult to eat prawns a "battle" after eating them.
As a starter, we asked a variation on the menu. As was the white truffle, and we wanted to just eat it, why not take advantage? And so,
noodles with truffles. Tears of happiness and idiotic expression of peace and love with the cosmos, while we were served another glass of white burgundy.
same wine that accompanied us in 'assault on the fried mushrooms. Delicious.
For the second course,
Fassone rump of veal stuffed with prunes and pine nuts in light of St. Flushing panure herbal and citrus new glass of Red wine from the Langhe.
Ah! the rump ... that unspeakable goodness, one that transcends the simple pleasure of satisfying taste.
I'm moved that easy, I strained my demeanor.
At this point, already quite satisfied, get a small
tasting of Italian cheeses with mustard watermelon. Good but nothing memorable.
The pre dessert instead, and a grenade
apple, celery and horseradish . Really good and original. New Goblet of
recioto della Valpolicella and finally the dessert with chocolate ganache Purple
Sur del Lago, sorbet and sauce vin brulèe strawberry grapes. Good, really good.
At this point, satisfied and fulfilled, we threw in the towel, we've given up coffee.
But beware, not the cookies that we have nevertheless been proposed and which, we could not resist. These also delicious.
What to say?
A wonderful evening dedicated to the worship good food and good cooking. A cult administered by the "priest" Aimo with wisdom and love.
And faced with such goodness, the faithful happy, glosses over some of the distractions of the service and justify a shame to realize that I will not reveal but which is really a very high figure.
The price for a unique experience. Worth it?
you can, once in a lifetime, yes.
