COME AND JOIN US AT ‘RISTORANTE VIVEZZA’ THE HOME OF THE TRUFFLE
Added: (Fri Sep 05 2008)
Come and join us at ‘Ristorante Vivezza’ for a dinner to mark the new Truffle season. The dinner will be on Thursday 9th. October.
Vivezza is continuing to promote its Italian Truffles in the tradition of “La Fontana” restaurant, previously on this spot, which for many years was the foremost Truffle venue in London.
The Truffle menu has been designed specially for the short white Truffle season, which runs from October to December, with beauties on it like Venison Carpaccio with white Truffle or a white Truffle risotto. For a table choosing this exceptional Truffle menu Vivezza is happy to offer a fine and suitable bottle of wine with manager Miguel’s compliments.
There are 10 species of Truffle found in Italy. The white truffle, or ’Magnatum Pico’, is gathered in Alba and it is by far the most rare and most expensive. It grows amongst the roots of oak, willow, hazelnut and poplar trees. Truffle hunters harvest them at night with dogs specially trained to sniff out the underground treasure. The aroma is very enticing particularly when the truffle is shaved over pasta, risotto or meats. It is also famously regarded as an aphrodisiac.
Vivezzas prices are very reasonable and start from as little as £5.95 for a crisp baby spinach salad with mozzarella, avocado and crispy bacon, or £5.20 for a creamy hot soup of the day for a starter.
A delicious main course could then be a succulent roasted sea bass with green fennel, or perhaps a juicy, mouth-watering breast of chicken in Marsala wine served with scoops of cool, luscious melon.
And why not accompany your choice with a portion of the best zucchini fritti in London at £3.00 or crisp French fries for £2.75.
The a la carte is not the only menu on offer. At lunchtime there is an exceptional ”value for money” table d’hote with many enticing choices priced at just £12.45 for two courses or £14.95 for three.
Vivezza is very conveniently located on Pimlico Road near to Victoria coach station and a short walk from Sloane Square. It’s sister restaurant ‘Caraffini’, about a two-minute walk away on Lower Sloane Street, is invariably full every night and lunchtime with business people and busy shoppers as well as many local Chelsea residents.
If you can’t make it on the 9th October we would be more than happy to welcome you on another occasion. We would very much like to see you and serve you some of our delicious, mouth-watering food.
This will be a truly great event. We hope you can join us at ‘Ristorante Vivezza’ at 101 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8PH the home of the Truffle. We do ask that you please book. Just call us on 020 7730 0202 or email info@vivezza.co.uk and we will look forward to welcoming you.
