A Riccione - ア・リッチョーネ

鎌倉シリーズの第二弾はイタリアンの老舗。ちょっと田舎っぽい雰囲気で、アットホームな感じです。鎌倉野菜のバーニャカウダ、鯖のマリネ、ツブ貝とブロッコリーのタリアテッレ、メバルのアクアパッツァを注文した。いずれも素材の鮮度がすべて、余計なことをせずとも旨い。ハウスワインも樽っぽくないものを選んでいるそうで、これも良かったが単価はちょっと高め、あとワイン選びでは具体的にどこの何を供してもらえるのか、なかなか説明がもらえず形容詞のやりとりに終始するので困った。支配人はちゃんとボトルを持って来て説明してくれたけど。


A Riccione in Kamakura is an old Italian from Milan with slightly rural, at-home atmosphere. We ordered Bagna càuda of local vegetables, marinated mackerel, tagliatelle with “tsubu” (buccinum) shell-fish and broccoli, and also aqua pazza of black rockfish. The dishes were quite good as all the material was very fresh by itself with no need to cook too much. Choices of house wine are focused on less oaky tones and they were enjoyable, but a bit high in price. It was difficult communicating to find where and which of wines exactly as they tended to explain through adjectives only. Well, the manager of this restaurant who was more senior came later and showed us the actual bottles for a better conversation.
