One of Manchesters most glamourous dining and drinking establishments, Rosso, has released its brand new a la carte menu.
Some of Rossos old favourites sit alongside new completely original dishes lovingly devised by Head Chef, Steve Hildebrandt and his team.
The menu is an expertly constructed collection of dishes inspired by Rossos passion for creative, authentic Italian food, but featuring a traditional British influence as new ingredients and techniques punctuate this reinvented menu.
Slow cooked pigs cheeks wrapped in parma ham and served with prunes and black treacle are a case in point - finely sourced British food fused with Italian signature ingredients.
Other earthy British influences can be seen in menu additions like the fresh beetroot soup and the new cornfed British chicken dishes.
Rossos emphasis on fresh fish continues, as the new menu sees fresh live lobster delivered to the restaurant 6 days week, alongside a medley of other fish and seafood, much of it brought direct from New Smithfield Market. Fish dishes are then simply prepared to perfection and often with a touch of glamour (just look at their new whole lobster cooked with fresh lemon and prosecco).
As ever, all the sauces, pasta, gnocchi and stocks are handmade at the restaurant - Steves new mixed game ragu features 4 different types of game and is 6 hours in the making!
Very traditional new Italian dishes make up the perfect menu with the new Strozzapretti et Ragu - a rustic Italian creation translated as Strangled Priest! Similarly, the Bistecca alla Fiorentina - prime teabone steak grilled with garlic butter, served with vine ripened tomatoes, parmesan shavings, field mushrooms and rocket - provides a taste of the traditional tuscan trattoria!
The perfect taste of the Med for Manchester...
The new a la carte menu is available from the 7th February.
