This “delicious” lookout on one of Forte’s historic streets is celebrating its twentieth summer with all the energy of the first, transmitted by Giulia’s smile and Puchi’s enthusiasm. They are a couple who incarnate the identities of Versilia and Castille, a perfect marriage of the best sides of two cultures, always ready to take to the floor in a heady waltz of specialties played by cook Federica Manfrini: gnocchi à la bagna cauda with Cantabrian anchovies, black garlic, creamy Mahón-Menorca cheese, Atlantic red prawns tartare, and turmeric breadcrumbs; spaghetti with sun-dried Cadiz tuna mojama and date tomato confit, clam-and-parsley pesto, and finely-chopped almonds. New recipes that remind us how Giulia is always on the go – except with such super-classics as paella and the Spanish carbonara pasta. The cellar (Enoteca Giulia is also a wine shop, don’t forget!) is liberally stocked with Italian, French, and Spanish labels. Giulia concocts two sangrias: one classic red, one with sparkling Cava blanco. And fantastic take-aways: paella and tapas, Serrano ham, Pata Negra – and of course, wines!
