Spaghetti Summer - Chef Carlo Spina, 3 Piani, Naples (Na)


I chose the dining room on the 2nd floor of 3 Piani restaurant.  Piani means floors or stories and the restaurant has, well, 3. :-) I chose the 2nd floor for its air conditioning - ( the 3rd floor is a spectacular terrace overlooking the city, but it was just way too hot that evening)

So sure, I admit that I preferred the a/c,  but that didn't stop me when Chef Carlo Spina invited me into the kitchen to observe him as he was in the final stages of preparing me his spaghetti dish. 

Chef Carlo Spina





The chef uses spaghetti from Monograno Felicetti for this particular dish and as I joined him at the pass, it was nearly ready.



He gently swirls the pasta in a ladle and places it down on a bed of shrimp tartare.


A touch of plankton powder and sea urchin...


And lemon zest...



Then back to my seat in the dining room to enjoy my spaghetti summer - fantasticaaa!
