Dinner at L'Asino D'oro Last night I managed to get into L'Asino D'oro (golden donkey), which is a trendy place in Monti (come on, I live in Northbridge, I am clearly one of those arseholes supportive of the gentrification of old suburbs … This comment makes sense if you’ve read the rest of the blog)! So the meal started with a complementary gazpacho and basil flavoured ricotta. Both delicious. I then had the octopus salad which came with rockmelon and panzanella. This was great, octopus was very tender, but I would have liked some contrasting acid (lemon or vinegar) with the octopus. I had the fresh pasta with a green fig pesto. Despite the presence of pine nuts (or indeed any other nuts, as they seem to often be missing in Roman pesto), this didn’t really work for me. It was a bit zingless. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the wild boar in chocolate. This sound like it would be sweet, but on the contrary. The cocoa and chocolate were dark and the spices made this a very tasty dish. -- source link
