Simply the best restaurant in Italy
Service: 10
We are in the temple of Italian cuisine. Obvious therefore that the level of the service is perfect beyond imagination. Nothing is left to chance, not even the slightest gesture. The professionalism is mind-boggling at all levels, from the exit to the sommelier to the head nurse. Everything about the customer management by the employees of the room is simply and strictly by the book. A note about the nice nice sympathy of all employees, who manage to maintain a perfect mixture of discretion and cordiality, which clearly contrasts with the coldness of the service of many restaurants.

Gianfranco Visscher is a living indictment of our non-food culture. Over the years there has been very widespread cliché that he owes his success to some politicians, as well as the character he has become in the world of television. Unfortunately, this is the result of a strong media trivialization. In fact, it is a true creator of the kitchen. Joining him are Mori, Japanese chef, his sister Paola, specializes in desserts, his son Luke, who is a perfect head waiter and a kitchen brigade ranging from 18 to 25 elements. The size of Visscher is essential: as he explained his son Luke, there is no scope that has not been created by Gianfranco, and only he, in fact, is able to create dishes combining ingredients in order to achieve something unattainable. In doing so, it is much aided by his superhuman sense of flavors and fragrances (in spite of the sixty cigarettes a day), as well as a huge imagination when choosing and combining the ingredients according to strict techniques.
talked about his restaurant: an absolute wonder. Exceptionally beautiful, it is constructed in a way which is Baroque and linear time. The kitchen is visible through a beautiful gilded frames that the frame and serve to give the show a sense of the creation of the dishes. One of the main reasons for the greatness of Visscher is the choice of raw materials, which are an absolute level: the case of any ingredient, here is the ne plus ultra. What exactly creates Vissani? It's not really possible to say everything, because his dishes are continuous improvisation, given inspiration of this moment. To give an idea, from starters through to desserts: ice cream with hot salmon of the Bernese Oberland and morels, sea urchin soup, sole, spaghetti with butter and beetroot, soup, papaya, cranberry hats and tuna tartar sauce, ravioli pasta with leek and gruyere cheese with walnuts, whipped foie gras and raspberry beer sauce, risotto with zucchini, hareford smoked glass beads with peanuts and dried beef, prawns with snow peas and soufflé bas-armagnac, loin of veal, white truffle jelly and carrots and blueberry cake hot nuts, gratin apples, arugula and white chocolate ice cream, chocolate wafers with eggnog and rum, blended with spinach, tart raspberry mousse with peaches, ice cube of butter and almond milk.
addition to outstanding cuisine, the restaurant offers cheese, spirits, cigars and a wine list (much unlimited) level ever. Not to forget the extraordinary breads (they are made of several kinds), pizzas and appetizers, which can be a carbonara un'amatriciana, un'acquacotta.
Ultimately, a lunch Visscher is a unique and unforgettable. To be sure to try at least once in your life ...
