Seeing a restaurant inside a museum is something we are all used to, but if, suddenly, the idea was to put a museum inside a restaurant? So thought the minds behind the Egyptian group\u00a0Stella di Mare, <\/em>when deciding the theme for their first restaurant in Dubai.<\/p>\n

And the theme for the museum? Who other than\u00a0Leonardo da Vinci<\/em>, as the name states right away,\u00a0Leonardo<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Located in the incredible Dubai Marina, with direct entrance from the street, we are just a short elevator trip from the grand dining room, of nicely worked details, warm and romantic ambiance and full of different da Vincci<\/em> works.<\/p>\n

Warmly welcomed, with several Italians in the team. The trip to the table is not easy, because we can\u2019t take our eyes away from all the replicas of the Renaissance master. You know about our love for the Renaissance, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Comfortably seated, everything is pristine, from the chairs to the towel, glasses and the funny position of the napkins. In the meantime, a great variety of bread quickly arrives at the table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Basket with different slices of bread, with highlight to the great Foccacia and the amuse bouche \u2013 a delicious lamb Agnolotti with mushroom sauce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>Salmon<\/strong>, tuna sauce and coriander powder\u00a0<\/em>
\nA version of the Vitello Tonnato<\/em>\u00a0where the meat is replaced by a mi-cuit<\/em>\u00a0of cold salmon \u2013 I don\u2019t know if that was the intention, but in my opinion, warm would be more interesting! Nice combo with the sauce and the salty notes of the capers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Zucchini sformatino<\/strong>, fresh tomato soup<\/em>
\nA good version of a classic, making me travel for a moment to the hands of Fabio Picci, the Florentine master\u00a0at Cibr\u00e8o. Excellent texture and a simple and delicate flavor!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cacio e Pepe<\/em><\/strong>
\nOne of my favorite Roman classics, Cacio & Pepe, that lives of the mix of cheese and pepper, as the name indicates. In this version, accompanied by two crunchy bacon slices. Good\u00a0spaghettoni, perfectly cooked, while the flavor was somewhat amiss, lacking more pepper and a creamier sauce with the pasta.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hare Tortelli<\/strong>, cannellini bean cream and rosemary sauce\u00a0<\/em>
\nSuper high level, with the pasta on point and the right amount of filling to the portion of pasta. Nicely connected with the cream and the aromatic sauce. A beautiful dish!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Duck<\/strong>\u00a0Magret<\/strong>, sprouts, mango, and grapefruit sauce<\/em>
\nNicely pink duck, as it should, tender and tasty, and weirdly going very well with the mango sauce, mostly because of the less sweet link of the grapefruit with the bitterness of the sprouts. A good dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coffee Slush,<\/strong>\u00a0chocolate mousse, vanilla cream, and crunchy rice and Hazelnut\u00a0<\/strong>Semifreddo<\/strong>\u00a0with vanilla cream\u00a0<\/em>
\nPositive notes to the desserts as well, with highlight to the nice combination of textures and flavors of the coffee and chocolate dessert, as well as the dried fruit and seeds crisp, accompanying the well-accomplished\u00a0semifreddo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On the glass, we opted for Italian wines, namely the white Sicilian\u00a0Ca\u2019di Ponti Catarratto<\/em>, a dry white of a less known caste, resulting in a simple wine with a good aromatic side, and a red, the\u00a0Piemonte<\/em> Barbera 2018 Araldica, <\/em>an easy wine, unpretentious \u2013 <\/em>an everyday\u00a0Piemonte.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The service went along with the greatest of the professionalisms, technically correct and with a good environment.<\/p>\n

Final Remarks<\/strong>
\nIn a city with a bit of everything, another Italian restaurant is not immediately the recipe for success, so here was created a unique room, with a romantic atmosphere, and where the work of a great name of our history is displayed.<\/p>\n

The room and the quality of the service are the great highlights of this restaurant, and the cuisine complements the entire environment and scenario created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
