Gambero Rosso awards 2 forks to La Foresteria

“Angelo Pumilia never ceases to amaze. And every item on his menu is an invitation to discovery. His is a “laboratory” of progressive cuisine mixed with historical recipes from the Planeta family. On the menu, a list of bases and ingredients used. Then a clear choice between “Casa Planeta” (80 euros) and “Estate” (90 for 5 dishes of the chef’s personal research, between Japan and other deviations). In the first, icons like the Knight’s Egg, fish soup, cod with lemon and green fig. In the second, things like cuttlefish tartare and its consommé with brined almonds; gnocchetti, pecorino fondue, aromatic herb broth; palamito tortelli and marinated ginger with hibiscus; chicken and smoke, Lapsang and Ferla mushrooms. High-level cheeses and desserts. The wine list, the “Repertoire 1694,” is a company summary, also including rare and unpublished bottles; the Wine of Friends (producers) offers labels from various European wine regions. Valuable seafood cuisine at Insula, the property’s Beach Club.”
