Souvla to sushi.

Lunch with @giorgiolocatelli1 dinner at his restaurant @ristorantelocatelli same day at @amarahotelcy Red prawn and caviar to start, fresh truffle over the pappardelle right at the table, and a lobster linguine neither of us wanted to share. Ristorante Locatelli, Amara · Limassol Save it for your next big night out.

A one-on-one cooking session with @giorgiolocatelli1 at @ristorantelocatelli at the @amarahotelcy in Limassol with @dariomasafi the man in control here in Cyprus This was my third time joining one of Giorgio’s classes. This time it was a private session in the kitchen with Giorgio and Dario, cooking two dishes from a single local fish and talking through the process as we went. The fish was sfyrida, a Mediterranean grouper that lives among the rocks and caves. The whole fish was used. The fillets were kept for plating, and the bones were roasted and turned into a stock with onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf and white wine, then reduced down to a quarter to concentrate the flavour. The first dish was a new creation, named on the day: Gnocchetti alla Cipriota. The pasta is made with louvana, the Cypriot split peas, which were steamed, blended and mixed with flour in equal parts. Each piece was then shaped by hand on a ridged wooden board, which helps the sauce cling to it. The sauce combines the rest of the sfyrida with garlic, black olives, capers, whole peeled tomatoes, sun-dried tomato, the reduced stock, basil and Giorgio’s own olive oil from Sicily. It’s finished with lemon instead of Parmesan, which he doesn’t put on fish pasta. Not sure if it’s on the menu, but it should be 😋 The second dish was the sfyrida fillet, cooked mostly skin-side down until crisp, and served with slow-cooked torched leek, small potato spheres, a leek and potato sauce and crispy fried leeks. Along the way I asked him a few questions: • The Cypriot ingredient he’d take into Italian cooking: louvana. • The most common mistake with fresh pasta at home: overworking the dough and making it too soft. • Pasta or sauce, which matters more: the shape of the pasta should decide the sauce. We finished by tasting both dishes on the terrace. His verdict: “If I had to choose what to eat for the rest of my life, it would be pasta.” Thank you, Giorgio, Dario and the team at Amara. 📍 Ristorante Locatelli, Amara Hotel, Limassol

What an Amazing experience at @palermo.pastateca.siciliana we had! From warm delicious pasta to warm yet fun hospitality in the most beautiful Sicilian themed restaurant in Cyprus Every little detail is inspired by the owners childhood growing up in near Palermo Sicily with his Grandmother The decor from wall tiles to table tops are imported from Italy, and even the sink in the toilet is his grandmothers traditional bread making bowl It doesn't stop there. The pasta ingredients are mainly imported from Italy & Sicily and use only the finest ingredients to make fresh pasta right infront of you daily There's 14 types of pasta dishes using spaghetti, tagliatelle, pappardelle and other traditional pasta types. Each flavor is uniquely different as I tried 4 types. The Spaghetti Al Bisque Di Gamberi had to be my favorite. The carbonara was also a favorite as no fresh cream is used. Made only with eggs yolks, pecorino romano cheese and pasta water, it was the tastiest carbonara I've had in Cyprus that wasn't heavy on the stomach or leaving me bloated @palermo.pastateca.siciliana has to be one if the few places in Limassol that I'm totally jealous we don't have in Nicosia You can find them on the delivery platforms, but I would strongly advise to drop in also and see the store and catch their vibe. Well you probably got an idea from this reel 🤭 Shout out to the most AMAZING host @arshamadabi for making not just my visit but everyone else's who also walked into the wonderful backyard of Palermo! #italianfood #pasta #palermo #italy #sicily

Definitely a restaurant you can rely on in every aspect #michelin #michelinstar #ettorebotrini #michelinstarchef

This summer's hottest new entry has to be @samo_limassol located within @splash.man_ fashion boutique in Limassol. The menu is I would say an Italian inspired cuisine but with a touch of the Splash families personal favourite elements. There's a whole concept behind this restaurant, from the inspiration of the name SAMO to the concept of food & fashion all in one. Highly recommended 💯 Some of the dishes I tried • Beef Carpaccio with truffle mayo • Vegetable fritto • Nicoise style Fresh Tuna salad • Grilled Calamari • Linguine Al Tartufo • Spaghetti with Curry Clams Mussels • Pinsa Romana with Burrata, cherry tomatoes and basil Last but not least the amazing Vegan blueberry chocolate tart and some homemade ice-cream choices, which included a too die for pistachio flavour also. Located infront of the beautiful Limassol beach front of Kalogiroi area, watch my stories this summer, you'll be seeing alot more of this place #foodandfashion #letseat #onthetable #bythesea #limassol #cyprus #italiancuisine #foodporn #😋
