Fantastic Firsts, Chef Luciano Villani, La Locanda del Borgo, Telese (Bn)

I recently had the chance to visit Chef Luciano Villani of La Locanda del Borgo.  The restaurant is part of the spectacular Aquapetra Resort located in in Telese, Benevvento.  The chef served up dishes from his new menu included these pasta dishes.
Let's take a look...

Linguine pasta....

served with a light creamy sauce made with monkfish,

coconut, and lime...on top,

a chip made from squid ink...


And what would summer be without pasta and tomato sauce?

Once again linguine is the pasta of choice....

Villani used sweet datterini cherry tomatoes for the sauce....

completed the cooking in the pan along with the summer's favorite sugo...

added fresh basil, and served it up for me in the kitchen.

Fantastic!
