Cantinetta Ventura, our pictures of the Italian street-food restaurant in Paris 8th arrondissement

The Dolce Vita has occur to the Champs-Elysées… Welcome to Cantinetta Ventura, the fantastic Italian venue settling in two new spots in Paris 8^th arrondissement, one particular at 5 avenue Myron Herrick, the other at 49 avenue Franklin Roosevelt. Just following doorway, then…

Two venues reinventing quickly food in a warm environment many thanks to legitimate high quality Italian cuisine to appreciate on web site, takeaway or shipping. A principle designed by Serge Ventura who preferred to shell out tribute to his Italian roots and love the style of his nonna’s (grandmother) cuisine. The thought? Making do-it-yourself Italian gastronomy cost-effective to all those people who do not have time or funds.

Shifting on to the menu, it is signed by chef Giuseppe Franco, previous executive chef at IDA cafe in Paris, who also labored at the Jules Verne and with Michelin-starred chef Jean-Louis Nomicos. On the menu, new makes and attractive preparations like the do-it-yourself focaccia, the lasagnas and creamy sauces for pastas. Talking of which, there are 3 lasting sauces: pesto, Bolognese, truffle, and two pasta of the working day specials on Mondays and Thursdays.

Pastas occur straight from Bari, southern Italy, and organized to get in entrance of foodies and gourmets. And if you are much more into one thing else, the residence also serves pizzas these as the pinsa romana, as properly as salads and some creamy burrata coming straight from Apulia.

What about dessert? Italian specialties, for certain, like the traditional tiramisu, the panna cotta and the gentle mango product. Allow us have a blast with the profiteroles if you appreciate chocolate, with choux pastries created the quite morning, by the book.

The editorial board put the menu to the exam. As for starter, we bought the tuna salad tataki design served with wheat and beans, as very well as the burrata and sunlight-crammed tomatoes. Two pretty new starters, excellent in the summer season, and pretty flavorful. Going on to mains, a beautiful pinsa romana with crunchy dough, and three pasta programs and their sauces. So very good! Our hearts were being set on the bolognese pasta dependent on selfmade tomato sauce to die for with incredibly tender meat cuts.

As for dessert, the chocolate profiteroles and the pink berry panna cotta authorized a wonderful remaining contact. We specially appreciated the chocolate profiteroles, stuffed with extremely gentle whipped cream, and pretty low in sugar for the perfect equilibrium.

Two terrific venues joining those people by now flourishing in Malesherbes, Capucines, Haussmann, and Raspail… Shall we give it a go, then?
