Cine Citta used to be my canteen. I used to eat there almost every Friday night. For a reason I ignore, I had not been for a few years.Nothing's changed! The same Italian movies play while you eat so I can go there with the most boring date and you will still get some entertainment. The same great food ends up in your plate and stomach and the service has remained very kind and attentive, if not perfect.For appetizers, we picked the scallops, the artichoke soups, the baked artichokes, the mozzar
Nothing's changed! The same Italian movies play while you eat so I can go there with the most boring date and you will still get some entertainment. The same great food ends up in your plate and stomach and the service has remained very kind and attentive, if not perfect.
For appetizers, we picked the scallops, the artichoke soups, the baked artichokes, the mozzarella with grilled vegetables and the house appetizers (a mezze of cold cuts, cheese and vegetables). Everything was very good.
For main, we had the risotto, the pici pasta and the baked gnocchi. The pici pasta was the best and my pick for my next meal there.
For desert, we had the limoncello cake, the bellini dome with berries, the cheese plate and the tiramitsu. The bellini gets the prize.
I think that my Italian grand-father would have approved and so do I. The food is simple, tasty, well cooked and gets to your table not too hot and not too cold (the goldilocks’ kind of cooking). For example, it is very difficult to make a good risotto: if it is too dry, it feels like Uncle Bens cooked it; if it is too wet, it becomes congee. Cine Citta’s risotto was exactly right and with a great taste of duck.
In all, a great experience and a great address that has maintained great quality for 10 years.
