Capri, however, also has some amazing hotels with some of the top restaurants around. Last Saturday I had the chance to spend a few hours at Monzu Restaurant - Punta Tragara Hotel. A 10 minute stroll from the piazzetta - a location fantasticaaa - away from the crowds - with an amazing view of the Faraglioni rocks. Bellissima of course. But I was there to try some of Chef Luigi Lionetti's dishes for the new 2018 season.
I was invited into the kitchen to observe the chef while he plated up an amazing pasta dish starring mezzi paccheri pasta. This pasta format is a challenging format, in my opinion. The cooking time is pretty long usually 12- 14 minutes. I love an al dente pasta, particularly a pacchero that stands up and says hello.
Like this dish from Lionetti.
Paccheri pasta with zucchini...zucchini prepared as a creamy sauce, but also dehydrated crispy spring goodness...
The chef also added clams and tiny tiny squid...
Hre we are at the table....
fantasticaaa!!!
