An exceptional ambience is a criterion which Senso Ristorante & Bar offers to its customers. Located along Club Street, it is one of well known Italian fine dining restaurant in European-style decoration. No wonder if it has its own wine cellar as it serves plentiful sorts of red wine, white wine and dessert wine from all over the world, such as Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, New Zealand, California and Chile. You can ask anything about wines, including recommendation of wine-food pairing, from the affable sommelier. Scrumptious choices of 20 over types of cheese are also available in its cheese cellar.
Try these two outstanding appetizers, Mozzarella (pan fried buffalo mozzarella wrapped in parma ham, marinated raisins and pine kernels in balsamico) and Fegato D’oca (pan fried duck liver served with red cicory and sweet ‘passito di pantelleria’ wine relish). The delightful aroma of parma ham completes the springy cheese inside. Furthermore, its saltiness enhances the aroma of the cheese perceived. The sour marinated raisins and pine kernels dominate its taste on the first chew. The main element of Fegato D’oca is duck’s liver which its abundant fats immediately melt when you put them in your mouth. The presence of these fats is surely important for smoky flavor development during pan frying. Combined with red cicory and sweet wine relish, the dish is something that you must not forget to order.
For the mains, live lobster from their own tank ensures the fresh catch aroma, complementing chewy Linguine pasta. Served in bisque sauce and marjoram, one cannot go wrong ordering it. Although the lobster has pale muddy taste, the overall seafood taste and its succulent meat are more perceptible. Another main, Merluzzo, with its fabulous pumpkin and onion timbale in aged balsamico sauce should tweak your curiosity as well as your taste buds. Very juicy and fresh cod fillet is superb and paired with the creamy pumpkin and roasted onion. All is tossed with aged balsamico sauce.
Never think that Italian dessert is just Tiramisu. Crostata (oven baked hot chocolate tart served with vanilla bourbon ice cream) is a pleasant sweet indulgence. Once you break the crispy tart, the melt chocolate filling will flood out. The chocolate has intense cocoa aroma and sweet milky taste - simply irresistible. Dessert wine would be a good company after eating this sweet and fatty dessert. This apricot-flavored wine helps to flush down the fats.
Taking your deep pocket is indeed worth it to enjoy the delicacies in Senso Ristorante & Bar.
