Everyone knows Italian cuisine... But the REAL Italian cuisine, the one we eat when we travel to Rome, Naples, Florence or Venice, and that we would like to find in the capital to remind us of our last vacations in the land of Dante...? Zazza is a bit of a promise, a return to traditional flavors while being very modern, a little corner of Italian paradise in the heart of the capital. Located in the 10th district, the restaurant knows how to brighten up the taste buds of fine gourmets.
On the menu, therefore, only fresh products coming from these distant regions: burratina, carpaccio of Bresaola, Tiramisu, pizzas with all the sauces, accompanied by tomatoes, mozzarella fior di latte, ricotta, scarmozza and other gorgonzola... and same thing on the side of wines and digestives: Lambrusco (a sparkling red wine), Prosecco, Moscato d'Asti and other Amaretto and Limoncello... Flavors that take us right back to the gourmet terraces of our previous vacations. And for those who do not know Italy, the trip is instantaneous and the discovery appreciable.
The editors particularly recommend the burratina, which is quite light and very pleasant in the mouth. A very simple dish, in the image of the country's cuisine, or the carpaccio of Bresaola, copious and refreshing. As for the pizzas, we recommend the calzone, quite classic but prepared with love, and the tartufata, a curious pizza made with truffles, very lightly flavored and particularly good.
On the decoration side, the same observation, the white brick walls and the marble, whether in the front or in the bar, undoubtedly remind us, for those who know the country well, of certain buildings in northern Italy (and whose fronts are made of Carrara marble). And for those who want to extend the experience, the house has also opened a trattoria in Bastille, Ammazza, where you can come and enjoy an aperitivo with colleagues... So, shall we go there, friends?
