It’s as if you are sitting in a bistro on the coast. There is a flamenco guitar playing somewhere off in the background. The smell of spices permeates the immediate air. The colors of the wallâ€â€the deep blue of the sea, the adobe of the earth, the yellow of the sunâ€â€emit warmth. A mosaic of tiles on the floor leads you to an imaginary beach. For a moment you forget that just outside the door is the hustle and bustle of the city.
Now take the sea in a skillet, seasoned with the flavors. Garnish it with the sun. Simmer and serve. Voila! You’ve got Mediterranean cuisine.
France, Italy, Spain, Greece, and places in between find their way onto the menu. A must try is the pan-fried sea bass served with pasta. Cross the border into Spainâ€â€the coalescence of tastes in the Paella will perplex yet amuse your tongue. Top it all off with dessertâ€â€Azzurro’s signature is orange-flavored chocolate mousse cake covered with Lindt chocolate and caramel sauce. Or go for the panna cotta, made from Italian milk custard topped with strawberries and blueberries.
