A new Italian restaurant opens shop at in the office-bustle of Gurgaon. Join foodie Bikramjit Ray to find out if it passes the taste test…
The gurgaon business district seems to be a desert when it comes to good food but i have found myself a little oasis of gastronomy it’s called 56 an italian adventure that’s a curious name but i want to find out what the food is like i’ve been told it’s fantastic
It’s 56 because of the height of the atm and it’s an italian adventure because these guys have gone out and got themselves chef domenico lupo a real life italian chef lupo is a native of tuscany in italy a region famed for his hearty meaty dishes here in gurgaon though lupo
Promises to cook up a wholesome italian adventure for the indian taste buds and i’m dying to dig in i’m here with chef dominic lupo and he’s a friend of mine and he’s going to be telling us about the food of this restaurant firstly the bread and dominico you think bread is very
Important part of italian restaurant yes very important very very important with the crispy outside inside soft and it’s fresh and this just comes from the oven so which is very difficult to find in italian restaurant so this bread is made just before you sit down to eat so it’s
Fresh yes very fresh just back in the restaurant which is free that’s why i don’t mention it but it’s my fault because it’s too good and so sometimes so before he changes his mind he should come and have the bread okay first secondly let’s start from here right
This is the first course it said antipasti what exactly is an antipasti antipasti is which comes before can be anything it can be also in the as a drink like we can call a aperitive okay this antipasto in particular is vegetarian right you put in i can see spinach yes
Vegetarian because also i try to make more easy for the indian palette it looks very nice very nice it’s sauteed with spinach with the garlic oil and top it with a portobello mushroom saute the olive oil and balsamic it’s a fantastic start to the meal this is gnocchi with seafood
Seafood gnocchi look a little strange with the seafood because gnocchi is used to eat with tomato sauce for cheese so this is a great example of a dish which can be vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian up to your choice and also light also light then i’m going to stretch to get the gnocchi
The great thing about the nokia is that yeah it’s got the right amount of softness it should be soft not al dente the only thing which is not must be nothing and if you don’t like pasta it’s a great i mean italian food is not just pasta no
That’s the point and this meal doesn’t have any pasta in it but it’s still traditional italian and this is uh domenico’s signature dish it’s just lamb right lamb no because my plate but really when you eat this you feel you feel fine really and we’re going to eat it now please thank you
Now in my view all the food is good but this is something that’s worth coming to the restaurant to eat even if you live in noida or in delhi it is fantastic and i think this restaurant is a definite must do definite if you’re coming this side you can have a working
Lunch if you’re here in the afternoon or if you can make it for dinner perfect what we ate was the house specials the adventure is a bit expensive for gurgaon but the food is well worth what you’re paying for maybe this is one restaurant where you need to go quickly and have a
Taste before things change
