The cuisine and menu at Assoluto Ristorante
During my visit, I had the opportunity to meet Head Chef Marco De Cecco and chat with the friendly chef about his philosophy, his cooking style, and the menu at Assoluto Ristorante & Vineria. "It's important to me that my team and I cook exclusively with high-quality ingredients, so we can show our guests just how delicious authentic Italian cuisine can be," he explained. He continued, "We plan to change the Assoluto Ristorante menu according to the season. Whatever nature, the season, our local area, and the various regions of Italy offer us in the desired quality, we transform into exquisite delicacies in our Assoluto kitchen and serve to our valued guests. It's important to us that each ingredient on the plate has ample room to express its own unique flavor and aromas.".
The Menu at Assoluto Ristorante & Vineria It offers both timeless classics and modern delicacies. In addition to various starters and snacks ("Seasonal selection of charcuterie & cheese"; "Marinated artichokes, arugula, semi-dried tomatoes, pine nuts"; "Beef carpaccio, pickled mushrooms, Parmesan"; "Crispy San Daniele ham"; etc.), you can expect a seasonal soup (currently an asparagus cream soup), various primi ("Radiatori with light tomato sauce, octopus, mussels, squid and shrimp"; "Homemade tagliatelle with beef ragù"; "Paccheri with tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil"; etc.) and an extensive selection of meat and fish dishes ("Secondi" - "Ombrine fillet"; "Salmon fillet"; "Octopus arm"; "Flank steak"; "Beef fillet"; "Poussin"; "Porterhouse steak for two people"; etc.). You choose the side dishes ("contorni") for your main course yourself. The options include steamed vegetables, baby potatoes, broccoli, mixed salad, mashed potatoes, and asparagus.
Calzone, Neapolitan style
A visit to Assoluto Ristorante is also worthwhile for pizza, as they offer Neapolitan-style pizzas, meaning pizzas with a thin, golden-brown crust and a light, airy edge. Neapolitan pizzas are known for being topped with only a few, high-quality ingredients – San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte mozzarella, fresh basil, sea salt, and premium olive oil. After just a short time in a very hot oven, your pizza is baked quickly and evenly, and served with a light golden-brown crust. Assoluto Ristorante offers ten different toppings: Margherita, Porcini e Tartufo, Burrata, Valtellina, Salami, Tonno, Napoli, Quattro Formaggi, Calzone, and Vegetariana.
For dessert, you can look forward to both a classic tiramisu and special creations conjured up by Leonardo Scala, the house pastry chef – some based on recipes from Marco De Cecco's Italian mother.
Assoluto Ristorante & Vineria has quickly become one of my new favorites in Munich's Westend.
Personal visit and conclusion
My companion and I were looking forward to our evening at Assoluto Ristorante from the moment we made the reservation – and rightly so, as I now know. I love Italian cuisine, especially when it's presented with high-quality ingredients and authentic creations.
During our visit, we enjoyed a truly delicious menu, expertly prepared for us by the team from a variety of à la carte creations and accompanied by perfectly paired wines. My personal favorite was the delectable octopus tentacle with fresh vegetables; my companion was particularly delighted by the calzone with tomato, mozzarella, Napoli salami, and cooked ham. We both found the desserts especially sophisticated. Mine was the "Ananas Marinato" with marinated pineapple, coconut sorbet, crumble, and fresh fruit.
When we finished eating (and enjoying) our meal for the evening, we both unanimously decided that we would definitely be back. There was simply too much on the menu that we would have loved to try. The ambiance, the atmosphere, and the attentive service also contributed to Assoluto Ristorante becoming one of our new favorites in Munich's Westend almost immediately after our first visit. Be sure to check it out – it's well worth it!
