9. Monteverde Meal | 8:30 p.m.
9. 蒙特韋爾德區的晚餐 | 晚上8點半
To get to the heart of modern Roman cuisine, get out of the heart of the city. On a quiet lane in the residential neighborhood of Monteverde, L’Osteria di Monteverde is a casual restaurant whose unremarkable exterior gives no hint of the outstanding food served inside. At a recent meal, beef tartare was a gustatory revelation after the addition of an eggy Parmigiano cream, porcini mushrooms and fried quail egg. Roasted octopus resting atop rosemary-scented borlotti beans got a boost from fresh stracciatella cheese. And spaghetti smothered with sheep’s cheese and baccalà was set aflame by a dollop of fiery ‘nduja (spicy Calabrian sausage). Dinner for two, about 60 euros.
要想了解現代羅馬美食的精髓,需要離開市中心,來到蒙特韋爾德住宅區一條僻靜的小巷。休閑餐館蒙特韋爾德客棧(L’Osteria di Monteverde)其貌不揚,讓人猜不到里面的食物竟如此美味。前不久我在那里用餐時點了韃靼牛排,里面加有蛋味帕爾瑪奶油、牛肝菌和煎鵪鶉蛋,簡直是令人驚喜的味覺體驗。烤章魚放在迷迭香味粉色菜豆上,鮮軟奶酪更是為之平添風味。用羊奶酪和鱈魚干燜制的意大利細面條被一大團卡拉布里亞辣醬點燃。兩人晚餐約需60歐元。
