In an environment of sober elegance, just out of the way from the center, Sine deserves attention. Not so much because curiously he defines himself as "gastrocratic", an extravagant crasis between gastronomic and democratic, as for the intelligent and pleasant cuisine that Roberto Di Pinto creates there. Dense curriculum of important experiences, Di Pinto does not betray the Neapolitan origins, testified by many and many references of the card, but knows how to enrich and vary the repertoire with measured creative touches however aimed at bringing out the flavors. A lot of sea in paper, starting with fried pizzas with 'friarielli' and palamita or 'mescafrancesca' (mixed pasta of different shapes) with potatoes and lobster, to pass the diaphragm with caramelized onion, bacon ravioli and "Neapolitan wasabi "and conclude with the irreverent" sacred and profane ", that is the rum baba with popcorn ice cream. The cellar keeps pace with the cuisine. Menu at 45, 65 and 95 euros. A la carte at 60-70.

RESTAURANT The space is completely white, but not for this cold, because the idea is to pamper guests from the first approach. The cuisine, mainly seafood, depends a lot on the fresh fish selected every day at the fish market, to arrange a proposal of a variously Italian and Mediterranean style. We thus pass from raw and au gratin entrees, centered on the quality of the raw material, to first courses that enhance the dry drawn pasta, including paccheri with red prawns from Mazara del Vallo and spaghetti with clams.

RESTAURANT Santa Virginia puts you in a good mood especially when the outdoor area is open. But it is the cuisine that attracts an Italian and foreign public who appreciates the simplicity and correctness of the preparations. Pure Italianness, from Milanese risotto to tasty spaghetti alla chitarra with three tomatoes, from roasted octopus with couscous to squid ink and pea cream to beef tartar with low temperature egg. Hospitable service, cellar in development.

RESTAURANT Having lunch, dinner or a drink on the top of the Triennale, in an all-glass structure with a balcony and terrace with a long and wide view of the metropolis, already has a great reason in this. But in the kitchen the level of experience is not lowered, thanks to a tasty proposal without overdoing it, seasonal, able to please everyone with original touches. For example with the Gragnano squid with sour butter, anchovies and burnt bread, or with the "soft-crunchy" organic chicken, mustard and honey. Cellar ad hoc, like mythologists. Adequate service.
