Food trip at Amici, Don Bosco with people from work finally pushed through, after two months of trying to work out a common schedule! Amici is famous for their gelato, which comes in a spectacular array of flavors and colors, so i was raring to try that. But we did things the traditional way, dinner first and then dessert:
Tutta carne pizza
i know meat’s supposed to be the star of this pizza, but one of the things i loved most about it was the soft, creamy, melted mozzarella cheese–not at all gummy like what you’ll see in other, more commercialized pizza joints. Fresh herbs sprinkled generously all over the pizza also gave the dish a lot of great flavor.
Risotto di mare
Soft, fluffy saffron risotto with seafood with clams, mussels, and prawns–this dish was light and clean on the palate.
Roast chicken
Moist, tender chicken infused with rosemary.
Spinach fusili montanara
Spinach corkscrew pasta with a creamy tomato sauce with Italian sausage and mushrooms. Am such a fan of mushrooms.
Here comes the dessert!
As you may surmise from the photos below, i had trouble choosing a flavor. i ended up with mango jubilee, a dreamy creation mango creation topped with a tempting combination of strawberries and blueberries. The gelato was delightfully dense and creamy. i thought it could’ve used a bit more tang, to highlight the mango flavor, but it was still good, nonetheless.
i also got to taste the sans rival and mint flavors. i liked mint the best, but then again, it always has been my favorite flavor.
