ROME - The capital meets the newly designated Capital of Culture 2022, in the dishes of Gabriele Muro, chef from Adelaide al Vilòn and a native of Procida, island- "Laboratory of happiness" according to the winning project.
"I am so excited - says the young chef from Campania - that my little Procida has been chosen as the Capital of Culture 2022 that I decided to dedicate an entire tasting menu to her starting from Monday 25 January and present in Adelaide every day, both for lunch. and dinner, it will be a menu with all the typical products of the island, always with a lot of agriculture and traditional dishes: a poor seafood cuisine, although revisited through the eyes of those who have traveled.
A menu full of colors.
Even what I ate as a child is yellow, orange like citrus fruits, the red of tomatoes in jars.
On everything always the strong blue of the sea, with a brackish taste.
Procida for me is a vision, a landscape that I have in my eyes and in my heart since I left the island and that every time I come back I cherish it live.
On the other hand, if at 16 I fell in love with cooking, thanks to the sea and the fish of Procida ".
The menu, is specified in a note from the hotel de charme in the historic center of Rome, will be tasted in the STAYVilòn formula from January 25 for those who want to give themselves, while staying, "a little escape between flavors, suggestions and memories, giving themselves day a different step "despite the orange band sanctioned by the last Dpcm to fight the pandemic.
You can choose between the Adelaide tasting menu, or the "On the Island of Gabriele" menu dedicated to Procida, or à la carte, perhaps with some traditional Roman dishes.
