The famous historic Italian city of Bologna has welcomed a new and acclaimed restaurant to its medieval streets, Fourghetti<\/strong> by the chef Bruno Barbieri<\/strong> well-known as one of the country’s top chefs and judge on Master Chef Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"fourghetti<\/p>\n

The name of the restaurant comes from the concept of \u201cfour\u201d \u201cspaghetti,\u201d a neologism which highlights the good home cooking which is at the heart of this project. In fact many of the delicacies served up from the kitchen are based on the rich history of Bologna’s best dishes. Yet, <\/span>at Fourghetti<\/span> don’t expect <\/span>just <\/span>any simplistic Italian dish you could eat anywhere. Barbieri’s international experience and time as chef on cruise liners find there way into <\/span>his<\/span> recipes. Touches of flavors from all over the Mediterranean and influences of Arabic cuisine give these dishes exceptional flare and sophistication.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>menu<\/strong> at Fourghetti is a reflection of <\/span>a great local culinary tradition with notes of international fancy. Here diners can enjoy a delicious melon <\/span>smoothie<\/span> with <\/span>burrata<\/span> and <\/span>minced Fiocco,<\/span> or meat <\/span>skewers <\/span>with <\/span>braised<\/span> vegetables and a sweet and sour chutney. <\/span>An<\/span>ther of the restaurant’s delights are its savory bowls filled with potatoes, figs, leaks, sun dried tomatoes, goat chees<\/span>e and turnips<\/span> drizzled with sesame oil.<\/span><\/p>\n

The menu at Fourghetti continues on with choices that include: broth infused with garlic, rosemary and finely chopped herbs served with <\/span>roasted<\/span> squid<\/span>; <\/span>a mixture<\/span> of delicate white fish with a <\/span>pistachio<\/span> pesto <\/span>scented with<\/span> spiced <\/span>taralli<\/span>; pasta <\/span>in a seafood sauce<\/span> with <\/span>mantis shrimp and turmeric<\/span>; or ricotta and parsley tortellini with hazelnut butter, browned <\/span>scal<\/span>l<\/span>ions<\/span> and fresh black pepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here there is no shortage of amazing dishes to choose from. Tuck into the house specialties such as the yellow pasta with a <\/span>saut\u00e9 <\/span>of peas, ham, parmigiano and caramelized onion, or fresh spaghetti all<\/span>a<\/span> chitarra with <\/span>shellfish<\/span> and crunchy vegetables with <\/span>scallion<\/span> oil. Top on the list is also the local favorite Tagiatelle Bolognese and other meat creations like <\/span>a<\/span> lamb <\/span>bonbon<\/span> with <\/span>stewed<\/span> eggplants and harissa, or chicken served alla diavola with a salad of peppers and eggplants in <\/span>a <\/span>light tomato-based dressing. Other excellent choices are the <\/span>guazzetto<\/span> made with capers, olives and <\/span>small dates<\/span>, the sweet and sour <\/span>char-grilled beef<\/span>, and the potatoes in foil with sardines and octopus. <\/span><\/p>\n

The dessert menu<\/strong> is equally as rich and intriguing as are the <\/span>small<\/span> bites from the menu at the Bar Bieri<\/strong>. A meal at Fourghetti, which is open for lunch until three o’clock and for dinner until eleven, runs about \u20ac60 per person excluding wines. Reservations are welcomed. Besides its restaurant, the location also offers five rooms <\/span>for private functions<\/span> all of which are carefully appointed according to the designs of Architect Davide Fabio<\/strong> Colaci.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Barbieri, Bologna’s Fourghetti is just the beginning of a series of projects set to launch outside of Italy next year first in Miami and then in Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
