The Italian Road Trip @ ALBA | JW Marriott Hotel | Bangalore

So what do you guys think of a road trip?
Ok, then how about an Italian Road Trip?
This road trip is probably not the same which crossed your
mind. In fact, this Italian Road Trip is about an ongoing culinary trip through
certain regions of Italy namely: Piedmont, Sicily & Tuscany. This Italian
Food Festival is running at one of the best restaurants for Italian Cuisine in
Bangalore: ALBA at the JW Marriott Hotel.
They have an elaborate a la carte menu for this but we tried
a set menu consisting of Antipasti, Primi, Secondi & Dolci.
We had the following items:
Milfoil with slow cooked chicken with roasted bell pepper,
charcoal onion and garlic and anchovies sauce: Beautiful presentation,
perfectly cooked chicken, light smoked onions and a mouth-watering sauce were
its highlights!
Home-made pappardelle, duck ragout & smoked duck: The
highlights were the smoked and juicy strips of duck along with the ragout which
not only blended well with the pappardelle pasta but tasted phenomenal! The
pasta was al dente.
Chilean Sea Bass with Trapani style Couscous and Ghiotta
sauce: Even magnificent does not come close to how well the fish was done. It
was juicier than any sea bass we tasted before. The texture of the couscous
along with the sauce complemented well with the fresh fish.

Cacao, Amaretti & caramel pudding with blueberry: It was
mildly sweet with well-defined layers and soft too. A scoop of this with the
blueberry alongside and enjoy the magic! There was a lot of cacao in it which
also gave it a bitter after taste.
Now that’s a very short snippet of what we thought of this
lip smacking Italian Road Trip.
We tried two other items: A ravioli preparation with ricotta
and eggplant ragout and another dessert called the fruit cannolo which was very
heavy.
All the items we tried were high on natural flavours and
brilliantly executed.
