Let me take you on a culinary journey through my five favorite dishes at Nicoletta, those that take me back to the days when my parents decided to get together as a family and my grandmother, along with my mother, were in charge of preparing the food. These are the memories that inspire me and the flavors I would like to share with you.
Beef Carpaccio
Originally from Italy, this dish is a real treat for meat lovers. With thin slices of beef marinated and garnished with lemon capers, anchovy dressing, mustard and fig balsamic, the Beef Carpaccio is an explosion of flavors in every bite. I recommend pairing it with our Vesper Martini, an elegant blend of gin, vodka and Lillet Blanc that enhances the sophistication of this dish.
Black Risotto with Seafood
Black Risotto with Seafood is one of the most acclaimed Italian specialties, and this version with squid ink and fresh seafood is simply exquisite. Creamy rice is combined with shrimp, octopus and squid, and finished with pickled lemon, Parmesan cheese and butter. To accompany it, I suggest our Aperol Spritz, a refreshing blend of Aperol, prosecco and mineral water that enhances the flavors of the seafood.
Wagyu Rib Eye
For meat lovers, this dish is a true indulgence. The Wagyu Rib Eye is a premium piece of meat, juicy and full of flavor. I recommend pairing it with our classic cocktail, the Old Fashion. The complexity and character of the whiskey perfectly complements the juiciness and richness of the rib eye wagyu.
Pappardelle with Salmon
This dish combines the softness of fresh pasta with the richness of smoked salmon. Pappardelle with Salmon is served in a sparkling wine sauce that enhances the flavors of the fish. To accompany it, I suggest our Venus, a refreshing blend of gin, limoncello and mint that highlights the flavors of the salmon and pasta.
Spaghetti with Lobster
Nothing like a fresh pasta dish with lobster for an unforgettable dining experience. Our Spaghetti with Lobster is served in a garlic puttanesca sauce that enhances the flavors of the seafood. I recommend pairing it with our Paola cocktail. The J.W. Black Label and the tropical flavors of coconut syrup and pineapple juice will perfectly complement the richness and depth of the lamb’s flavors.
