Italianni’s just opened its new branch at S’Maison Conrad in that area at the ground floor where you also find Texas Roadhouse, Baker & Cook, Red Lobster, etc. They all belong to that notable The Bistro Group which has in its roster Fridays, Fish & Co, Bulgogi Brothers, Watami, Modern Shanghai, etc
Yesterday along with foodie friends, we tried their recently launched Best-Kept Secret Recipes …
Frito Misto literally mixed fried is a basket of calamari, shrimps, zucchini and fish fillet combo. A street food in Italy, Italianni’s version had the requisite crunchy exterior and succulent interior. Do not forget to squeeze some lemon all over the dish for a hint of acidity and freshness before dunking in your preferred dip

Liver Pate on Buttered Bread
Pate was silky with complex flavors marrying well with the creamy richness of the butter slathered on the bread. Definitely a must try

Romano Chicken Ceasar Salad was a scrumptious healthy option which I indulged in sans any guilt. I can finish a whole plate of this all by my lonesome. So good!
For something substantial and satisfying, the Country Rigatoni Pasta is your bet. Think al dente pasta with Italian Sausage, Chicken, pancetta, cannellini beans, vegetables and parmesan butter…yum!
A pescaterian? You will love Italianni’s Salmon Pesto Linguini. That pasta with the pesto cream, salmon chunks, tomatoes, parmesan was a study in balance of flavors and textures. I highly recommend you try this.
Flaky, tender, perfectly cooked and seasoned, this Poached Salmon was one gorgeous dish. Do not let that sauce it is swimming in go to waste. Dunk your freshly baked bread in it to soak up all that liquid sin…ambrosia!
Overall, these classic dishes dubbed Best-Kept -Secret-Recipes were a delight to discover. They are classic favorites anyone would love to order again and again.
Already planning my next visit with the handsome hubby and piggery. I can not wait to stuff my face with the Poached Salmon and Salmon Pesto Linguini again.
Best-Kept-Secret Recipes are available at the Italianni’s branch nearest you
