Last week I made a reservation figuring I would find something gluten-free and edible on the menu, but was pleasantly surprised they had an entire gluten-free menu. A big one at that. I could have a flurry of appetizers, pastas, meats, fished, sides etc.
Since I was with my alternative eating partner in crime, my Dad, I convinced him to go gluten-free and pescatarian for the meal so that we could share everything (he being the non-meat eater).
We decided on 4 dishes:
-A mushroom risotto
-Homemade g-free pappardelle w/ an Italian cheese, pepper and ramps sauce
-Salmon w/ a pesto sauce
-Grilled prawns
What can I say, we absolutely dove in and couldn't stop eating. The risotto was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The mushrooms were so flavorful and plump. The pappardelle was so delicate and light you couldn't believe it could be any better (meaning non-gluten free). The Salmon was light, but could have used a touch more pesto sauce (but I fared perfectly fine by pairing the bites w/ the pasta or risotto). And lastly, the grilled prawns were good sized, flavorful and meaty.
A Mackey being a Mackey, we both ordered dessert: gelato (for Dad) and sorbet (for me). As you can tell by the photo it was a mountain of chocolate sorbet that I only successfully made it through half....and let me tell you it was so smooth is tasted like ice cream (and don't you just love that long spoon?).
Well done RPM, greatly exceeded my expectations for a "Celebrity" restaurant.
