Chef Rob Mafucci led us through an amazing journey last night at his signature restaurant, V's Trattoría in Hartford. This multi-course dinner was surely amazing! Aside from the food, however, the evening was even more memorable because of Rob's personally narrated culinary trip. Eight of us sat front and center watching Chef Rob cook and prepare and present each course. Just like a class where you learn so much and enjoy it even more.
We started with an Antipasto which made all past antipasti go to shame. The slice on the prosciutto was so thin it was nearly see through. The rest of the plate made it seem regal.
This was followed by the famous Parpardelle Bolognese – Chef Rob’s cutting edge chocolate truffle pasta, Sicilian meat sauce topped with fresh ricotta & citrus gremolade. *As seen on Food Network! This was the battle dish on his 'Beat Bobby Flay' adventure.
Unfortunately [or otherwise] there are no more good pictures of the following offerings. We progressed to a choice of Salmon or Short Ribs and I choose the latter with the promise of being allowed to share the salmon with my dining partner. They were both amazing. The wines for each course were excellently chosen and the match for each course was delicious. Am I having a good time? Need you ask?
After a palate cleanser we proceeded to the dessert of a Panettone Bread Pudding with a Caramel striping and Citrus Cream with a delicious Riesling to help out. It did not need any help but the wine was perfect.
