had this class apart, authentic Italian meal at Monteverdi Restaurant in central a few weeks ago. The ambience of the spot is extremely Italian (of course), and also very comforting, and warm. We began with a helping of their bread paired with olive oil and balsamic. The bread had a biscuity texture- crusty and dry outside, but slightly soft but crispy inside. Maybe not the favourite but still great!We washed this down with a 2012 chianti- which was absolutely lovely, along with yummy potato che

We washed this down with a 2012 chianti- which was absolutely lovely, along with yummy potato cheese croquettes- fried to perfection!
The mains were as Mediterranean Italian as they can get. We started with their handmade trofie in pesto sauce- basically a short, thin & twisted pasta from the region of linguria served in pesto sauce topped with pine nuts.
I had their “Seabass in crazy water”. No I’m not kidding about the name. The name seabass in crazy water comes from the very fact that the broth in which the seabass is served has a very tangy flavor to it. It is a very simple dish but bursting with flavour owing to perfectly cooked fish, simple but flavourful broth, and a buttery bread to complement.
We ended the night on a sweet note with their ice cream cassata. I never knew it had Italian origins as I grew up eating this multilayered dessert in india. It was layers or cake, three types of ice cream, nuts, and deliciousness covered in smooth chocolate sauce.
Overall a delectable meal over wine conversation and a comfortable ambience. Truly a delight 😍
