This winter, Italia, the Italian restaurant at DLF Promenade, is celebrating the cuisine and flavours of Emilia–Romagna, a region situated in the Northern Italy. The region is famous for its fresh & stuffed pasta like tortellini, lasagne, tagliatelle and cappeletti, and also polenta, a maize-based dish. The celebrated balsamic vinegar is made exclusively in the Emilian cities of Modena and Reggio Emilia, and my favourite parmigiano reggiano cheese is also produced only in this region.
I was lucky enough to sample their menu over a lovely dinner featuring the various authentic cuisines of this region in a way that is contemporary yet elegant. For antipasti, I had a Poached pears, grapes & gorgonzola salad, along with a Pumpkin mash with goat cheese mousse. The latter was a delicious dish with a good balance of flavours. For mains, I enjoyed a Tagliatelle with sundried tomatoes and beans, and a Creamy polenta with sage & garlic. The flavours of the Potato gnocchi with baby spinch and gorgonzola were quite delightful, though the gnocchi itself was a little doughy. Maybe it would have worked if the gnocchi was a little smaller. For dessert I had the Tiramisu of course. It was quite yummy with a good kick of coffee and rich mascarpone. Another delicious dessert was the Chestnut and chocolate pudding, rich and chocolately.
The menu also offers soups, gnocchi, risotto, pizzas and several interesting desserts. Try out the rich flavours of Emilia-Romagna and enjoy a delightful gastronomic journey at Italia!
