Playing with lighting and space, using daring color
combinations, the newly re-opened Danieli's has a completely
new image that makes people want to go in and take a
closer look. Ceiling-to-floor tinted glass windows are
decorated with orange color drapes, giving Danieli's
a fresh visual image. The green crystallite bar, with
its metallic lines and the extravagant crystal chandelier,
create a stylish cosmopolitan look. Of course, Danieli's
is bringing more "new" things than just a
new look. Newly appointed Executive Chef Stephen Carter
has combined the cuisine of northern, central and southern
Italy, including the stronger flavors of northern Italy
with sauces, garlic pastes, cheese, risottos, seafood
and stews. From central Italy, there is Emilia-Romagna's
dry cheese, grapes and vinegar, parma ham, Toscana olive
oil, and soup with bread. And, from southern Italy,
pizza and the Sicilian's favorite Cassata dessert. With
Stephen at the helm, you can try all this cuisine at
one go, without tracking all over Italy. One example
is the Fillet Di Meerluzzo in Cartoccio (NT$790), which
is oven baked codfish fillet wrapped in parchment paper
with vegetables. When you unwrap the paper, a waft of
fragrance envelops you, and the taste is simply divine.
Apart from the more traditional cuisine, don't forget
to try some of the chefs' more creative dishes!
