Recommendation of Italian restaurant in Fukui City “Cucina”

Italian restaurants have increased in Fukui City but it seems like ones which adhere to the real taste of Italian dishes are still limited.

 “Cucina” is a long standing Italian restaurant and you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine there.

The taste’s secret might be that its chef and all the staff go to Italy every year state by state to learn its cuisine and culture. (H.S)

                                  Seafood antipasto

   















Umbrian-style antipasto (for two people)　

*Umbria is in the middle Italy, where is rich in green, known for wine and food. 

                                  If you order Spaghetti Amatriciana, they will donate a part of the profits                                   for the Amatrice Earthquake in August. 

Sauteed porcini mushrooms with butter.

Porcini is in season now. 

                                  They showed us porcini mushrooms before cooking.

                                  They are shipped by air from Italy.

                                          Digestif “Nocello”(walnuts liqueur)

                                          I tried it for the first time. It was so delicious.

                                           

                                          The bottle of the Nocello

                                   Dolce of pistachio. It was delicious too.

                                  Speaking of pistachio, when I visited Sicily before, spaghetti with

                                  pistachio was so good and I sometimes cooked it by imitating after 

                                   I returned to Japan.
