in butter Julienne of zucchini and
pink pepper sauce. The flavour was as
complex as the dish sounds: Incredibly
creamy, aromatic through the cheese,
balanced, with a great combination in
tangy and soft tastes and impeccably al
dente. Then came the rigatoni pasta with
melted spicy sausage, cherry tomato
and ricotta cheese. This was a very
special dish, soothing, crafted greatly to
balance the tomato and the ricotta and
if that weren’t enough, the parmiggiano
grated right in front of you provided it
some intensity in the flavour. Then came
the heavy guns, in the form of a large
and juicy grilled Wagyu strip loin steak
served with roasted potato and spinach.
Tender, creamy, flavourful, smooth…
We’d run out of adjectives to describe it,
it was truly special and was made even
better by the warm mushroom sauce
that was brought on the side. Next and
last, was the sautéed lamb rack served
with heart of artichokes and roasted
potatoes. Brought directly from New
Zealand, exquisitely balanced and tender
selection of meat provided us a true taste
of heaven, with a glorious almost tangy
aftertaste, this dish granted us a true
pampering of the senses.
But we couldn’t have left Mamma Mia
without being given the fifth reason to
definitely come back in the near future:
The desserts. A brilliantly aromatic
tiramisu culminated a wonderful
evening with its intensity, its permeating
coffee flavour, a flavour that turned
to chocolate and ended in a liquor
hinted taste which made the tongue feel
mellow. A juicy and succulently moist
base balanced a creamy and fluffy top,
a veritable spectacle of textures. The
dessert ended with a beautiful treat: a
sweet, strong and scented limoncello,
which put the dinner to rest. Tangy and
very easy on the throat, it rounded it all
off.
Mamma Mia is definitely a place worth
visiting for those with a fine palate.
We’ve given you five, do you really need
another reason?
